Oxford maths graduate, Chartered Mathematician, PhD in Engineering from the University of Nottingham.

Experience
By profession I am a flow assurance consultant for an oil and gas services company. Having started tutoring alongside my PhD, I have accumulated a knowledge and experience that allows me to tailor a study programme which has been proven to help maximise potential and achieve targets for each individual I have worked with. In my opinion, the role of a private tutor also incorporates that of a coach: My contention is that it is as important for academic success for each individual to have an appreciation of how they need to find the optimum method of study as it is to have a rigorous understanding of the material itself. Also vital is the mental preparation for exams and understanding how each individual may cope under the various stresses of exam preparation. I therefore base all my tuition on the three-fold theory that to achieve success it is necessary not just to learn the material set out in the syllabus, but also to realise that how one studies it is very important, and that a solid mental approach in the immediate run up to the exam period can alleviate pressure after they have commenced. During time with my students we are therefore not just focussed on revising the technicalities involved with the subject, but also exploring the most effective ways for the individual to study them whilst maintaining confidence in their ability. In my experience, learning this way is not only beneficial for passing exams, but imparts the vital life skills needed for further study and for success in the work place. I have achieved great success with all my students.
