Your Maths and Science Tutor
I first moved to the UK from Germany when I was 16 years old, initially only expecting to stay for 6 months to improve my English. I went to a sixth form and loved it so much I ended up staying to finish my A-levels. I then went on to study Physics at Royal Holloway, University of London and graduated there with a BSc in Physics in 2012. Still very much enjoying Science and with a specific interest in Astronomy, I started studying for a PhD at the University of Southampton. I graduated in 2021 after going part-time and having some time off to have my three children. I now live in Salisbury with my family where I spend my free time as a volunteer at a preschool group and work on our allotment.
To fund my PhD, I received a Mayflower scholarship, which required me to teach 25% of my time there. I assisted teaching of several different courses ranging from first to fourth year physics including maths, laboratories, electromagnetism etc. I also helped to mark problem sheets, exams, course work as well as presentations. Moreover, I was a tutor and had regular tutorials with my tutees. I guided them academically whilst also making sure that they were settling in well into university life. As part of my teaching experience at university, I have taught students with a range of abilities and from different cultural backgrounds, including non-native speakers.
I understand that each person has a different learning style and I adapt my tutoring sessions to reflect this. I'm friendly and personable and aim to put every student at ease because learning shouldn't be stressful. Even though my degree is in Physics, I am not just a Physics and Maths tutor. With my own A-levels in the subjects, I offer online Science lessons as well as tutoring up to A-levels or equivalent in Chemistry and Biology. Physics, Maths and Astronomy can be covered up to undergraduate level. I am also happy to teach German for all age groups as I'm a native speaker.
I hold a current enhanced DBS certificate.
I have experience in online Maths and Science tutoring and I always adapt the content of my sessions to suit the different exam boards and curricula.
Whether you require a little bit of extra help to feel confident in your abilities or you are looking to immerse yourself in the subject of your choice, it would be my pleasure to help.
