Raphael - Bristol tutor






Information About Raphael:


Personal Description:

I am currently reading Aerospace Engineering at the University of Bath, but however live in Bristol right now as I am carrying out a university placement at Rolls-Royce plc. I grew up between Dubai and Bombay and did my GCSEs and A-Levels at a Boarding School. I obtained a total of 9 A's and A*'s at my GCSEs and 3 As and 1 B at my A-Levels. I studied the international board, Cambridge International Examinations, which is focuses on the older style of GCSE and A-Level examining but I did sit a few Edexcel and OCR exams which I feel were ridiculously easy compared to the older grading styles.



Teaching Experience:

At school I taught Middle and Primary School students with learning difficulties English and Maths and tutored GCSE and A-Level students in Physics and Maths. At university I have also tutored a few students in Fluid Mechanics, Solid Mechanics and Manufacturing Engineering subjects. I have also given a few tutor sessions to non-science students in Maths and Calculus. The reason why I would like to tutor now is because working at Rolls-Royce I am often limited in the subject areas I can practice so I feel tutoring will keep me on my toes across an area of subjects.



Tutoring Approach:

I take time to find the right set of problems and notes for a student to practice and I watch students solving problems or arguing essays so I get an understanding on areas in which the need work in. I am a firm believer in fundamentals in Maths and Science so I will make sure the students sorts their understanding out first. When teaching Physics and some maths, I like to use real life examples (e.g., the Emirates Stadium when solving problems about damping) as I find that students are able to grasp concepts quicker this way.
