Tutor Experience
I am a former Cambridge College assistant Director of Studies in Natural Sciences and have spent 25 years between academic and financial services work roles.
There are three main areas that I support students with:
1. All aspects of science and maths tuition - up to postgraduate level in biology/chemistry and A level/IB in maths
2. UCAS and Ivy League Admissions. I have first-hand knowledge of the Oxbridge application process and interview requirements and can assist in all aspects of career guidance related to the sciences. I am experienced in most admissions tests (SAT, ENGAA, NSAA, MAT, STEP, TMUA, UCAT, BMAT)
3. Financial Services Job Application Support, Economics/Finance UCAS Support. I can help with psychometric testing, CVs, cover letters, interview prep and everything related to university or job admissions/applications in this area. I was a quantitative trader and manager of various global macro trading product lines at various investment banks.
