Information About Stephen:

Personal Description:

I am a recent graduate in Chemical Physics, graduating with a 1st Class Masters and love teaching students chemistry, maths and physics.

I have gained experience as a Research Scientist in Security Printing, a Fixed Income Analyst in the Finance Industry and now aspiring towards Project Manager in a well known engineering firm in Glasgow.

I have excellent interpersonal skills, am able to tailor my teachings on a case by case basis and have developed a lot of strong relationships with students and their families.


Feedback received include:

"We would not hesitate in recommending Stephen for any tutoring post. He helped our daughter gain the grades she needed to successfully apply for a place on the Dentistry course at the University of Glasgow."
- 6th Year, A in Advanced Higher Chemistry, now doing Dentistry.


"I was nervous before meeting Stephen but he is a really nice person and put me completely at ease straight away...and helps me to explain things really clearly and in a way that is easy to understand".
- 5th Year, A in Higher Physics, now doing a Technical Engineering Apprenticeship

Teaching Experience:

I have a teaching method that works effectively through maintaining an in-depth knowledge of intended learning outcomes for the school courses. I am also able to assist in requests for tuition in less common courses. I have helped students all the way from primary school to university, in addition to self-taught courses, college and entrance exams.

I have not only assisted in chemistry, maths and physics, but have helped in CV writing and job/university applications.


Any additional questions then please don`t hesitate to contact me.

A reference can be supplied from people I have tutored from in the past.

Tutoring Approach:

Each tuition session tends to focus on one or two specific topics in the course, with learning though use of diagrams and students working through examples.

I aim to help develop each student's critical thinking as far as possible, helping them step through the logical path to the final result, a skill that is extremely important for maths and science. Of course, repetition and muscle memory are also key for learning and so HW questions are regularly set. (There is a direct correlation between doing homework and achieving a high grade!!)

Closer to the prelims and exams, practicing past papers are a really useful tool and so these are used around these times.

Qualifications:

• Chemical Physics MSci (1st Class)
