About Alex
I am a scientist specialising in biophysical chemistry with a strong mathematical component, and was recently awarded a PhD for my work on Alzheimer's disease, in which I derived new equations to explain how the disease develops. Before my PhD, I did an undergraduate Masters in Molecular Biology, specialising in biochemistry, biophysics, and mathematical/computational techniques, during which I was awarded four separate prizes for scientific creativity and achieving top grades. In general, my training and expertise covers broad areas of chemistry, biology, mathematics, thermal physics, and programming.
I am a strong believer in the ability of STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) to change the world, and I want to get more young people engaged with research and technological progress. In addition, I am still active in research, am more than happy to give students advice and support on pursuing a career in STEM, or give insights into the research process.
I am happy to share qualifications and my DBS check upon request.

I have a passion for maths, science and learning, and I want to share my knowledge and enthusiasm in order to help you achieve your very best. Lesson content will be guided by your individual needs, but my approach particularly emphasises laying a solid groundwork, developing lateral thinking skills, and highlighting the connections between different topics, as I find this is the best way to truly understand a topic and develop a lasting proficiency.
I provide general mathematics tutoring at A level, and also teach complementary topics such as numerical techniques, computer programming, and statistics. Lessons consist of a combination of general teaching and addressing concerns about specific topics, and I prefer an interactive style of teaching, asking lots of questions to assess your knowledge along the way, and giving practice questions or learning suggestions at the end. For tutees who want more or find a particular area fascinating, I am also happy to recommend or teach additional areas to complement the curriculum.
As a tutor, I am enthusiastic, approachable and understanding. I have recently moved to private tutoring, but previously worked as a postgraduate teaching assistant during my PhD, teaching mathematics and science to classes of undergraduates, and providing one-on-one supervision for Masters students and interns.
