Hello! I'm Laura and I'm a Statistical Physics PhD student. I study how systems of many small simple components can work together to become something amazing. Some examples are the atoms in your body, the neurons in your brain, and the bacteria in your gut. My PhD project is on how the interactions between species can affect the stability of an ecosystem, here is a scientific paper I published.

I have loads of teaching and tutoring experience, and I make learning fun! I believe students should be happy and relaxed in order to reach their full learning potential. I understand that every student learns and stores information in different ways, meaning they require different teaching and explaining methods, and I tailor my teaching methods to meet each student's individual needs. In particular, I have experience in teaching for dyslexia, and have found it interesting to understand how a dyslexic brain works.

I ensure my students fully understand the concepts they are learning, not just to memorise statements or the ability to follow a procedure, but to understand why the procedure works. For the facts that do need to be memorised, I use a variety of long-term memory techniques. I will also teach exam technique, to understand what each mark in the question is asking for. We will go through and understand the mark scheme as well as the question paper, enabling students to pick up marks even when they don't know the answers.

I can help you with GCSE maths and science, A level maths and physics, University level maths and physics, and university entrance exams, MAT, PAT and STEP.
