What you can expect from tutorials with me:
Concise, clear explanations: You will end each tutorial confident in your understanding of the topic. You will be able to answer related exam questions, apply concepts in coursework assignments and see how different topics fit in the greater picture.
A tailored program: Whether you want to spend time revising a particular topic, practicing exam questions or discussing a particular topic more in depth, tutorials will be designed to suit your needs.
An hands on approach: At the end of each tutorial, I will send you further material to practice and revise the material covered. Ahead of the following tutorial, I will then correct your work and provide useful feedback. This can take the form of written questions, past papers, programming assignments, etc.
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
I am an experienced tutor previously the Technical Leader at Imperial College London an associated lecturer at Plymouth University looking to take on bright students in the following subjects:
2018-2020: Private Tutor
- Python for Machine Learning & Data Analysis
- Python, Java, Javascript and Databases for Web Development
- Data structures and algorithms in Haskell and Python (2nd year undergrad)
- University: Statistics for Business & Psychology
- A-Level: OCR, AQA Computer Science, including the A2 software project
- iGCSE Computer Science
- Web Development
2016-2017: Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, Imperial College London
- Assisted 1st and 2nd year students with their laboratory programming assignments and projects
- Pastoral care and study assistance to a group of junior students throughout their studies, under a guidance scheme
2013-2014: Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Spanish teaching assistant
- Guided revision sessions twice per week for Maths and Further Maths, in preparation for Core, Further Pure, Mechanics, Statistics and D1 exams
- Assisted GCSE A-Level classes and lead oral preparation sessions
During the past 7 years, I have taught various Mechanical Engineering modules to undergraduate MechEng students at Imperial College London, before becoming a professional commercial aviation maintenance instructor in Greece. The syllabus of my latest role includes core engineering subjects such as mathematics, physics and aerodynamics and extends to workplace safety, human factors/social psychology, and legislation. During my time in this role, I have successfully mentored a motivated student who did not understand the concept of negative numbers and could barely write a technical essay to become one of the best students in my class. He was recently hired as a maintenance engineer by a major European airliner. I have also been doing private tutoring for the past two years, guiding an A levels student to succeed in the demanding TU DELFT Aerospace Engineering BSc programme. In addition to my European Aviation Safety Agency professional instructor qualification, I hold an Associate Fellowship of the UK Higher Education Academy.
I am happy to tutor undergraduate Mechanical Engineering students in any of the core modules including but not limited to calculus, physics, mechanics of materials, machine elements etc. Further to the core subject, I am an expert modeller and programmer. Specifically, I have been using MATLAB as a tool throughout my entire academic career, including my PhD and postdocs. I can employ MATLAB to tackle highly complex multi scale problems at a very high level (PhD). When it comes to programming, the discipline is of a lesser importance hence the models I have developed and used in MATLAB can be equally applied to engineering, humanities or finance.
Finally, I am also a strong academic writer and I can tutor students into properly shaping academic text and assisting them with organising their research.
