Cambridge University - PhD Astrophysics

I am a third-year PhD candidate in astrophysics at the University of Cambridge, with a strong foundation in Earth and Space sciences. My journey began with a Natural Sciences degree, where I explored interdisciplinary scientific topics, culminating in astrophysics. My academic pursuits, paired with years of tutoring, uniquely position me to teach ESAT effectively.

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I have years of experience teaching a range of science and technology subjects, including physics, maths, and astronomy, from primary to university level. My roles have spanned classroom support, public outreach in Earth and space sciences, and one-to-one tuition. This diverse background allows me to teach ESAT concepts with clarity, whether for academic success or fostering a passion for the subject.

Tutoring Approach

My ESAT tutoring focuses on fostering a deep understanding of Earth and space sciences through tailored, student-led sessions. I emphasise foundational comprehension, guiding students through theoretical concepts and practical applications. Using past papers or problem-solving exercises, we pinpoint areas for improvement, ensuring students develop confidence in tackling unfamiliar challenges while mastering key ESAT topics.
