Megan S.
Private tutor in Cambridge, United Kingdom
Education
I have a PhD in quantum physics from Cambridge, and am awaiting the start of a postdoctoral position at University of California, San Francisco. I gained a first in physics, with a background in Natural Sciences, including cell biology, chemistry and mathematics.
Experience
I am particularly concerned with creating a caring and supportive atmosphere for my students of any age. I am available to tutor physics, biology, chemistry and mathematics from any point up to A Level, and physics and related subjects to degree level. I have tutored Cambridge undergraduate students from first through to third year in physics, in both theoretical and practical classes, and have provided additional support for students with special needs. In addition, I have undertaken summer projects in genetic engineering and theoretical physics. In my A-Levels I obtained A*/A*/A*/A*/A*/A* in Mathematics, Physics, Further Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and General Studies, including 99% in Mathematics, Physics, and Biology. Finally, I grew up on a dairy farm, and have had sole management of the farm during vacations throughout my degree!

Hobbies
I enjoy hiking, skiing, and generally being outdoors. I also enjoy reading, watching films, and visiting galleries. Apart from hobbies, I really like to see people who are underconfident and doubtful of their abilities realise their potential. As a once underconfident young student it was strong teachers who showed me that so much of learning can be restricted by worry and self-doubt, and encouraged me to work around that. I like to help students in particular who are struggling with self-confidence and find ways to help them overcome it and succeed at whatever they want to do!
