Information About Chris:

Personal Description:

I'm 22 and have just graduated from Bristol University with a degree in Physics with Astrophysics.
Until late 2010 I'm staying in Bristol tutoring Maths and Physics. After that time, I hope to start pilot training. Flying was my main activity and source of income during University although I'm very keen on sport as well.

Teaching Experience:

I first started tutoring in my final two years at school during evenings and weekends in the subjects of Maths, Physics and Geography (my A-Level subjects). This was all on a one-to-one basis with pupils aged 11-16. Lessons would last no more than an hour and usually took place once a week.

As part of my final year at University I undertook a scheme called 'Physics in Education' where I worked at Clevedon Community School (a Secondary Comprehensive) teaching physics to a class of approximatly 25 pupils twice a week.

Tutoring Approach:

When teaching on an individual basis, each pupil and each lesson will be different. My approach taken depends on the material being taught and the behaviour and personality of the student. Like most tutors, I prefer a relaxed environment and encourage questioning of the subject material where beneficial.

A typical lesson plan introduces the subject material, explains what needs to be done, provides a variety of examples and then encourages the pupil to attempt further questions with less tutor input. In Physics and Maths, the pupil must understand and be confident with each topic before progression to the next.

Qualifications:

• BSc Physics with Astrophysics
• Maths A level: Grade A
