University physics and astronomy teaching
University physics and astronomy teaching
I have taught an observational astronomy course for second year students at Newcastle University. At Durham University I created and delivered a series of lectures/workshops on how to reduce and analyse astronomical data. I also acted as a physics tutor and marker for first year undergraduates during their group tutorial sessions and took on the role of co-ordinating the marking for the weekly assessments of the Level 1 undergraduate physics course.
From 2012-2014 I acted as a one-to-one physics and maths tutor for two students aged 14 and 18.
In 2009 I spent a summer teaching English in China to school pupils.
In 2009 I spent three weeks in a high school (Stokesley School), obtaining training and experience in science teaching.
From 2002 to 2007 I taught children (aged ~6-11) to play the clarinet, saxophone and piano.

After some experience teaching swing dance for Lindy Jazz, I co-founded the Durham University Swing Dance Society and was the lead teacher. This involved teaching swing dance to classes of 30-100 undergraduates on a weekly basis. I also delivered teacher training to the more experienced undergraduate dancers, so that they could take on the role of teaching the less experienced dancers. This role also involved mentoring and some pastoral care - with some students finding our classes and the society ethos was what they needed to find friends and settle into university life.
