Information About Catherine:
Personal Description:
I am currently studying for a PhD in Engineering at University College London. I graduated from the National University of Ireland, Galway in 2004 with a 1st Class Honours Degree in Industrial Engineering & Information Systems. I then worked for approximately 18 months as an R&D Engineer for a medical device company before deciding to return to academia.
Teaching Experience:
Throughout my Undergraduate Degree I have tutored students in Leaving Certificate (equivalent to A Level) maths, with excellent results. I have helped those who were failing maths to those wanting to make sure of an A grade.
In my final year of my Undergraduate Degree I worked as a tutor for Mathematics Department in my University. On completing my degree and working as an Engineer, I continued to tutor a number of Leaving Certificate and University students.
Since moving to London and beginning my PhD I have been employed by UCL to help with extra maths tuition to both 1st & 2nd year Engineering students.
Tutoring Approach:
I like to start out helping the student to grasp the basic concept of the topic being studied and to give practical examples of the topic. I believe that when the student has a good overall grasp of a topic the particular questions which are asked become much easier.
Once this groundwork has been laid I like to focus on exam style questions as these are ultimately what the student will have to be able do and practice builds confidence, which is all important in becoming a good at maths.
