Math & Physics Tutor (Biology, Chemistry & Physics available for pre-university levels [GCSE, O/A-level, etc])

From 27.89 Fr /h

My name is Dylan and I am a Masters student at Leiden University, studying Astronomy and Cosmology. I received my baccalaureate degree (B.Sc in Physics with Astronomy) from Dublin City University, Ireland, in 2015. I graduated with the highest marks in the class, due not only to my study and hard work, but also my exam technique.

Therefore, in our lessons we will not only discuss the topics of the subject but also the exams associated with the subject. Being comfortable with the layout of the exam and the types of questions asked/language used is of huge benefit to our confidence, and therefore performance, in the exam.
To that extent, I offer to travel to a location of the students choosing for the lessons; the idea being that the student should feel more comfortable/confident in familiar surroundings and that a relaxed mind is conducive to learning. Webcam lessons are also available.

Math classes I took at university level include: Linear Algebra, Calculus of Several Variables, Differential Equations, Statistics.
Physics classes taken at university level include: Quantum Physics, Relativity, Electrodynamics, Mechanics, Cosmology, Spectroscopy
Computer Science classes include: C/C++ Programming, Image Processing & Analysis

Extra information

If possible, old homework assignments/in-class exams should be gathered together for the first tutoring session. This allows me to establish your strengths and weaknesses rather quickly.

About Me

My name is Dylan and I am a 27 year old Irishman. In my last 8 years of academia, I have excelled in exams and finished top of my class. This includes 4 years in secondary school and then each of the four years of my undergraduate degree. I would attribute my academic performance to not only my hard work and study but also my exam technique, which I refined over the years.

I am a diligent tutor who would take as much time and care with our lessons as I did my own exams. I am always listening to students, not only for the things they say but also for what is being said "being the lines" or even not said at all.

I believe that teachers/tutors should be facilitators of learning and knowledge and not dispensers of it. A topic is remembered with much more clarity when one has explored it using their own methods and mind, rather than being told about the topic by someone more knowledgeable. Teachers should point students in the right direction along the path of learning, but not LEAD the student along with it.

I have provided the option for travel to the student's location - I feel learning is more feasible when a student is relaxed and comfortable in familiar surroundings - though I am aware that currently, this may not be many people's preferred method, so I am also offering online lessons.
