Personal Description:
Hello! I'm Kiren, a passionate and dedicated math tutor with a deep love for numbers and a strong commitment to helping students succeed. With a background in mathematics, gained through my Bachelors in engineering, I bring both expertise and enthusiasm to every tutoring session.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages and skill levels, from primary school through to college. My approach to teaching maths is centered on making the subject accessible and enjoyable. I believe that everyone has the potential to excel in math with the right guidance and support.

Teaching Experience:
I have had the pleasure of tutoring students across a wide range of educational levels, from primary school through to A-level. My journey as a maths tutor began with helping primary school students build a strong foundation in basic arithmetic and problem-solving skills. I quickly discovered a passion for teaching and a knack for explaining complex concepts in a way that young learners could easily grasp. Seeing my students' confidence grow as they mastered new skills was incredibly rewarding and fueled my desire to reach even more students.

In addition to working with younger students, I have also tutored A level school students, guiding them through the intricacies of Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. My approach is always tailored to the individual needs of each student, whether they are preparing for critical exams or simply looking to improve their understanding of the material. My experience with A-level students has been particularly enriching, as I have been able to help them tackle advanced topics and prepare for university-level coursework.

Beyond traditional tutoring, I spent a year teaching apprentices, which was a unique and fulfilling experience. Working with apprentices allowed me to connect mathematical theory with practical, real-world applications, demonstrating how essential maths skills are in various trades and professions. This experience honed my ability to make math relevant and engaging, showing students the value of what they are learning beyond the classroom.

During my time at university, I also provided peer support to fellow students. This involved helping my classmates with challenging coursework, facilitating study groups, and offering one-on-one assistance. These informal teaching opportunities helped me develop a deeper understanding of the material and refined my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively. It was during this period that I realised how much I enjoyed teaching and mentoring others, solidifying my commitment to becoming a dedicated math tutor.

Throughout my diverse teaching experiences, I have cultivated a versatile teaching style that adapts to the needs of each student. Whether working with young children, high school students, apprentices, or university peers, my goal remains the same: to inspire a love for maths and to empower my students to achieve their full potential

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to teaching is centered around the belief that every student has the potential to excel in maths when given the right tools and support. I strive to create a learning environment that is both encouraging and engaging, where students feel comfortable exploring new concepts and expressing their difficulties. Patience and understanding are at the core of my teaching philosophy, as I recognise that each student learns at their own pace and in their own unique way.

One of the key elements of my approach is personalisation. I tailor my lessons to meet the specific needs and goals of each student, taking into account their strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. By customising my teaching methods, I can provide targeted support that helps students overcome their challenges and build confidence in their abilities. Whether a student needs help with basic arithmetic, advanced algebra, or anything in between, I am committed to providing the guidance and resources they need to succeed.

Interactive and practical learning is another cornerstone of my teaching style. I incorporate a variety of teaching aids and techniques to make math more relatable and interesting. This includes using real-world examples, visual aids, and hands-on activities to demonstrate how mathematical concepts apply to everyday life and various professions. By making math relevant and tangible, I aim to spark curiosity and enthusiasm in my students, helping them see the value and importance of what they are learning.

I also believe in the power of positive reinforcement and encouragement. Building a student's confidence is crucial to their success, and I make it a point to celebrate their progress, no matter how small. By fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere, I help students develop a growth mindset, where they view challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. This mindset not only improves their performance in math but also equips them with the resilience and problem-solving skills that will benefit them in all areas of life.

Ultimately, my goal as a math tutor is not only to improve my students' grades but also to instill a lasting appreciation for the subject. I want my students to leave our sessions with a deeper understanding of maths and a newfound confidence in their abilities. Through a combination of personalised instruction, interactive learning, and positive reinforcement, I am dedicated to helping each student achieve their full potential and develop a lifelong love for learning.

PhD thesis title:

"Fibre optic sensors based on fluorescence lifetime techniques for temperature and strain measurement"

Thesis submitted for examination for the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy

City University
School of Engineering

November 2002

Abstract

The author presents a thesis based upon the use of the fluorescent properties of rare earth doped materials. The thesis commences with a review of the current fibre sensor technology in the field, with special emphasis on those sensors designed for temperature and strain measurement. The use of the physical phenomena of fluorescence produced from rare earth doped optical fibre for temperature measurement is then introduced and explained in more detail, particularly with regard to utilisation of the fluorescence lifetime technique in such sensing, which is then compared to the other fluorescence-based methods for measuring temperature.

The recently discovered small strain sensitivity of the fluorescence lifetime is then introduced as a theoretical candidate for potential application to simultaneous temperature-strain sensing, using two different doped fibres in a single sensing element, and subsequently state-of-the-art temperature-strain discrimination techniques are then explored for the purposes of exploitation to dual measurement.

Results achieved from using the fluorescent lifetime approach for a range of rare earth materials are then presented, followed by further results obtained from combining the lifetime technique with Fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) for the first time. Also, the irreversible effects upon FBG performance after exposure to long-term high temperatures are explored.

Finally, there is a summary of the work presented in this thesis and the author's opinions on achievements made. Current trends in fluorescence lifetime-based sensing are discussed, both commercially and academically, together with projected work for the future.

Personal Description:
I am Ian, a friendly and enthusiastic mathematician, a former teacher of maths and physics A Levels while living on the south coast of England, now relocated to Glasgow. I believe that there is much beauty to be found in mathematics and science and try to convey this appreciation alongside the technical skills required to get you through your exams. These subjects don't have to be the impenetrable list of technicalities they are often portrayed as!

I offer tutoring for Mathematics (A Level, Higher, Advanced Higher and IB Diploma), Further Mathematics (A Level) and Physics (A Level, Higher and IB Diploma).

I can tutor at your home in the Glasgow area, at my home in the West End of Glasgow (near to Partick, Kelvinhall and Hillhead subways), or online via Zoom for students based anywhere in the UK.

I have a first class BSc (Hons) degree in Mathematics and its Applications from the University of Sussex. When friends asked me how I managed to get a first in my degree, I'm afraid I could only offer a traditional answer - hard work, and a fair amount of it. Maths is one of the hardest subjects to bluff your way through, and although it's possible to scrape by with a passing acquaintance of the concepts involved, you will never do particularly well without a deeper understanding of the subject. However, this shouldn't be taken as a cause for despair - far from it! With a proper understanding of the subject, a real empathy with the "why" rather than the "how", mathematics not only becomes far more interesting but also easier. I always aim to help students see the bigger picture and how the disparate parts of your course syllabus fit together.

Teaching Experience:
I have several years of recent experience of teaching A level Maths, Further Maths and Physics at a school in the south of England. While living in England, I have tutored students from across Brighton and Hove (and occasionally beyond), and have a good understanding of the common barriers to success that students encounter and how to help overcome them.

Tutoring Approach:
Everyone's tutoring needs are different. To make sure that I can offer you the help that you need, I usually start by arranging a visit to you at your home. For students living with parents or carers, this is an ideal chance to meet with everyone and make sure that we are all happy with the arrangements we come to. The topics we can discuss include general points (why are you considering tutoring? What would you like to get out of the experience?) and more practical issues (are you studying Highers/Advanced Highers, A Levels or taking the IB Diploma? Which exam board are you studying? If studying Further Mathematics, which options are you taking?). There is no charge for this first meeting.

If we are all happy to proceed, we can discuss the timing and frequency of tutoring sessions.

I also tutor online using Zoom - this is easy to instal and configure, and I can help you get set up with this. There is no restriction to your location with this option.

Teaching Experience:
This will be my first tutoring job, however, as I have only just completed GCSE, I believe that I am well equipped with the right knowledge to help students with their GCSEs.

Tutoring Approach:
Our sessions will consist of pre recorded videos and video calls. During the lessons will explore each topic thoroughly with hand written notes and powerpoint presentation. When the pupil is confident and has understood the topic in hand, we will then go through the different worked examples to help them understand the examiners techniques and tricks.

Personal Description:
Hi! I'm David and I'm a year 13 student having just graduated from St Paul's School London and finished A levels and looking to go on to study Mathematics at either the University of Cambridge or Imperial College London next year, with 4 A* predicted and 9s in 11/11 subjects at GCSE. I really love Maths and Physics and so I naturally have spent lots of time trying to understand the entire A level syllabus, to the point where I'm now confident I could teach it and anything below that to absolutely anybody, and would love to be able to help those who want to improve their grades. I have had the most wonderful teachers during my time at school and so I am now confident that I can transmit any concepts and ideas lucidly to any of my tutees.

Teaching Experience:
I've tutored previously in St Mary's Ukrainian School for a period of 6 months, where I tutored GCSE Maths and brought up three peoples' grades from a 7 to a 9, a 6 to an 8 and a 6 to a 9 respectively. Although I had to stop the tutoring due to other commitments the students that I tutored said that they would absolutely have continued if I had had the availability, and it heped me understand more where people struggle and how to best help them with their studies.

Tutoring Approach:
Of course I think the question volume is important but beneath all of that I think that you need to have a comprehensive understanding of the subject in order to build confidence for the actual exam so I might use various questions as examples (which I'm very well versed in having just finished A levels) but if it's clear that there's a fundamental gap in understanding I'll address that first before teaching them how to do the questions.
