Tom

Hi, I'm Tom. I'm an active researcher in mathematical physics, particularly in geometry and the mathematics of symmetries, with a PhD from University of Southampton. I have a clear speaking voice, an engaging style and a keen desire to help you understand.

Tutoring Experience

I have decades of experience in guiding a variety of audiences through a wide range of material, including some complex and subtle subjects. This experience includes giving training sessions, presentations and one-to-one tuition, running and assisting with university problem-solving sessions, writing briefings and reports, and giving guided tours (both for school classes and tourists). I also have plenty of experience in online video communication, including participating in international conferences, research meetings, social events and fact-finding interviews.

Tutoring Approach

I want to know what YOU WANT to learn about. I will structure tutoring sessions around this. Are there particular topics or ideas you are struggling with? Are there subjects that you've covered that have excited you and you want to know more about? If so, we can work through these together, and I can guide you into understanding them more deeply. Mathematics is a source of endless fascination. And as for physics, what could be more thrilling than to get new insights into how the universe operates at its most fundamental levels? Both subjects can also be complex, subtle and sometimes puzzling, and that presents students and researchers with constant challenges. (The thrill of tackling these challenges is part of the joy of research!) Whatever you're working towards, and whatever you believe your level of ability to be, I want to work with you to access a more solid understanding.
