Chris - Kilburn tutor






Information About Chris:


Personal Description:

I have recently completed my PhD in ecotoxicology (investigating the effects of chemicals on the environment) and have an undergraduate biology degree. I have significant experience of biology, ecology, toxicology, environmental science, organic chemistry and proteomics (molecular biology).

During my PhD I won several awards for the communication of my research and took part in open days to talk about science to the public. Through my PhD I developed a passion for communicating and teaching about subjects I care greatly about. I believe my enthusiasm coupled with my age (I am only 26) means I both have the knowledge to teach and also the recent experience to relate to what tutees need to achieve.



Teaching Experience:

I have experience of supervising an undergraduate student for his dissertation (he achieved a 1st class degree) and running small tuition groups for undergraduate. While I may lack extensive tutoring experience I feel my enthusiasm and hard work make me a very effective tutor.

I do have extensive experience of proofreading degree/MSc/PhD standard documents.



Tutoring Approach:

I have a fun, enthusiastic approach to teaching. I believe if a student (no matter how old) is not enjoying their work, it becomes infinitely harder to be successful. I was tutored during my GCSE's and understand the right and wrong ways to go about teaching.

I truly believe anybody can learn anything, it just takes some people longer than others. With that in mind I know students can achieve the goals that they are looking for.

Learning should be fun and I will always try and pass that on to students.
