Extremely proud of ALL of my students!! All of my GCSE students got either 9 and 8, or their marks have improved at least by 2 grades! All of my A-level student got ONLY A* and A and went to top Russell Group Universities, and all of my university students got high marks or much better results than they expected!

And a bit about myself:
I am a civil and environmental engineer and finished my PhD in 2014. I am very passionate about teaching. Since I started my undergraduate study in 2002, I started teaching Maths and Physics to secondary, GCSE and Alevel students. During my PhD, I taught in a number of modules at the university of Surrey (the list of the modules are provided in the section of teaching experience).
Currently I am a research fellow at the University of Exeter where I teach both undergraduate and master students. I also work as a professional tutor for Alevel, GCSE and secondary students in my spare time.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is different for different subjects, topics, environments and students. However, it is always very important to be patient and flexible with students. To give examples of what I usually do during my sessions, I highlighted a number of points below:
• I allow my students to talk and participate … to ensure the students do not tune out and lose interest in what I am teaching.
• I use frequent pauses to ensure the students have well understood what I have just explained.
• I usually use interesting video presentations and pictures that cover my teaching theme.
• I encourage my students to bring comics or funny quotes to class for our short breaks. It usually helps students to get more engaged…
• Sometimes, I encourage the students (especially small groups) to create website or blog covering the themes covered in tutorial sessions. It is a great way to connect them with other students or intellectuals in one’s chosen field.
