As someone who struggled at times in school because of dyslexia, I readily empathise with students and I’m able to communicate complex ideas in a way that helps them understand.
My lessons consist of going through topic questions, step-by-step, with the student(s) in an effort to effectively and reliably get them to understand the material and allow them to achieve their maximum potential in the subject.
I am fully equipped for online tutoring, with a web-cam, headset and pen touchpad to provide as close as possible an in-person tutor experience.
My name is Matt, I am 23, and I am from south-east London. In July 2020 I completed a 4-year MSci degree in physics from a Russell group university; Queen Mary`s University of London where I achieved a first class in my final MSci year and a high 2:1 overall. I aim to begin a PhD in 2021 but at the same time I am committed to teaching and proud to be a tutor on the Access Project for GCSE Maths and Science.
During my course I covered all aspects of physics; everything from classical Newtonian physics and cosmology all the way through to quantum mechanics and supersymmetry, utilising mathematics daily and completing two dissertation projects. Outside of my degree I have also completed internships at the University of Oxford and Imperial College London and have experience tutoring GCSE students.
My 3rd year dissertation project was a research project on ‘dark energy’ the unknown ‘dark’ phenomenon responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe. My second 4th year project was even more in depth and involved utilising Python code to detect the possible presents/magnitude of a phenomenon known as ‘wedge leakage’ when trying to image the early primordial universe during the ‘Epoch of Reionization’ around 400 million years after the Big Bang.

PERSONAL PROFILE
In July 2020 I completed a MSci physics degree at Queen Mary University London (QMUL). I have experience in voluntary work and intern placements (see below). Despite or because I have severe dyslexia, which was diagnosed when I was at primary school and revaluated at the start of my graduate studies (2016), I am exceptionally motivated to succeed, and I thrive on challenging myself to achieve difficult goals both academically and physically. To this end I am hardworking, trustworthy and reliable with excellent communication, design, computer and mathematical skills. In my free time, I enjoy long distance running, music, movies and spending time with my family and friends.
