Tutorial Teaching:

I am a Fellow and Tutor in physics at Hertford College. I currently tutor the first-year CP3 course on Linear Algebra and Ordinary Differential Equations, the second-year A1 course on Statistical Physics, and the third year B6 Condensed Matter and B1 Fluids courses. In the past I have also tutored the Electromagnetism component of the A2 course, the A3 Mathematical Methods and Quantum Mechanics courses, the B3 Atomic Physics and the B5 General Relativity courses.
