Online Physics Tutor Holly

I am currently studying for a PhD in Particle Physics at the University of Edinburgh; I have a master’s degree in physics from the University of Durham, and I received 10 A*s at GCSE and A*A*AA at A-Level (Mathematics, Physics, Biology and Chemistry). I have had a passion for the sciences- and learning in general- for as long as I can remember. I love physics because it provides links between tiny atoms and huge galaxies, and physics concepts appear in so many other disciplines; I find it very exciting that I am learning equations that can predict the origins and future of the universe.

Education and sharing knowledge is important to me- having worked as a private tutor and personal statement editor in the past, I listen to feedback from my students and aim to make lessons both challenging and fun and aim to instil a thorough understanding of topics rather than just promoting the memorisation of information. Studying doesn’t have to be boring!

I understand that the university application process and any exams are very stressful times for students, and so promote self-care, taking regular breaks, and remembering that one’s grades are important but should not be prioritised over one’s mental wellbeing.
