Information About Jan:


Personal Description:

Hi, I am a Phd at Durham University. I am 23 years old and I was born in Prague, Czech Republic. I have many hobbies (Astrophotography, RC models,) as well as interests in sports (rowing, skiing, diving, cycling).



Teaching Experience:

During my last year of college I was chosen by Maths academy of my college to tutor my year younger class mates. Although the offer was initially only for Maths, I soon also tutored Physics, Chemistry. During last 3 years I was an instructor at a summer camp. I was responsible for group of 10 boys(age 8-11). At this camp I also did presentation about astronomy and science generally as well as helping their struggles at school. As part of my Phd I am now teaching few astronomy exercise classes for the undergraduates.



Tutoring Approach:

The only way be successful at science subjects, tutee must understand the topics instead just memorising the subject. Because of this I mainly emphasise on understanding and completing enough exercise. I also try to relate the question to the real life problem (or experience) to make it easier to imagine it.
