Hello! I am Riddhi. I was a graduate student studying Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh 2021-22 and have now switched to web development recently. I am particularly interested in teaching Physics as well as Mathematics, as I can confidently claim that I have developed a deep intuition for both of these disciplines over the years. I believe that learning both Maths and Physics can be made into a fun process if taught accurately! I have done a Post-graduation course in Theoretical Physics. Apart from my personal education, my tutoring expertise lies in teaching Physics from Year 8 till Year 13, as well as teaching Maths till Year 9. I have been in the tutoring profession for past 5 years now. My greatest achievement so far would be getting a student from zero interest in studying Physics, to teaching them beyond their current year curriculum within just months. Being a Masters student, I understand the necessity for learning certain conventions (the hardest bit for a lot of students) in Physics and Maths, understanding which makes students grasp the subject matter much more efficiently.

GCSE Subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, IT Uni Level: Java Programming, Computer Science, Web Design & Development Exam Board exp: AQA / Edexcel / Cambridge English Experience with: KS1 / KS2 / KS3 / 11+ Languages: Basic Mandarin, Basic Portuguese Exp with disabilities/special needs: None Preferred student age group: 5-11 About me: I'm James, I'm 29 years old and come from Cambridge in the UK. I now live and run a small business in Porto, Portugal. I study STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) with the Open University UK and will graduate next year. I've been an English teacher for more than 5 years, I lived and taught in China for two years, and have been teaching online for the last three years. Alongside English I also love teaching science and computer programming. In my free time, I love to travel, skateboard, ski, snowboard, watch football and I'm a serious computer gamer! I have a certificate for teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) 160 Hours from TEFLaccadamy.org which allowed me to teach English to students from Asia for the last 5 years. I have two extracurricular certificates in computer programming, one 300 Hours responsive web design (HTML & CSS) and one 300 Hours JavaScript applications development both from www.freecodecamp.org Have a bachelors degree in Computer Science from the Open University (UK) and now work full time as a programmer for a health-tech company.

Levels & subjects GCSE: English, German, French, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Science A-Level / IB: Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry Higher Level: Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry Languages: English (fluent), German (fluent), French (fluent) Preferred student age group: GCSE, A-Level / IB About me: I'm a student currently completing my Masters in Physics at UCL in London. I grew up in Munich in a trilingual household. In my free time, I enjoy music, writing and outdoor swimming. I have multiple years of tutoring experience and look forward to helping you with your tutoring needs! I graduated from the European School in Munich with the European Baccalaureate in 2021 with an overall mark of 98.75, the highest in my graduating class. I specialized in Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Physics. I am currently attending University College London (UCL) for the MSci programme in Physics, and have just completed my third year abroad at McGill University in Montreal.

Subjects I teach: Biology (GCSE, A-level, National 5, Higher, Advanced Higher) Chemistry (GCSE, A-level, National 5, Higher, Advanced Higher) Maths (GCSE, National 5, Higher) Physics (GCSE, National 5) Science (GCSE, National 5) Medicine (UKAT, BMAT, interviews and applications) Russian and Japanese (depending on level and goal of pupil, but have experience teaching Japanese from basics, so if you want to have a go at studying a language, get in touch!) I am ideally looking for GCSE/National 5 level pupils at the moment. I am a 5th-year medical student at University College London (UCL). In 2022, I gained a first-class honours degree in Immunology, Infection and Cell Pathology at UCL. I was additionally awarded the David Katz Project Presentation Prize for my Neuroscience research project at the Francis Crick Institute. I have attended seven schools in four countries (Munich, Berkley, Los Angeles, Tokyo, St Andrews), which gave me a wealth of experience with different educational systems. Prior to starting university, I worked for two years as a laboratory intern in one of the world-leading virology laboratories at the University of St Andrews, focussing on novel vaccines and antiviral treatments. I am bilingual (English and Russian), and also fluent in Japanese. I am a qualified Japanese-English translator and have worked as an online translator for many years. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis and had been a first-team captain of both the UCL medical women's team and the London inter-university teams. My strong academic background in mathematics, science, and languages, combined with my passion for helping students learn and achieve their goals, has resulted in a proven track record of success in tutoring students of all levels. - First-class honours degree in Immunology, Infection and Cell Pathology at UCL - Advanced Higher: Maths (A), Biology (A), Chemistry (A), English (A) - Higher: Maths (A), Biology (A), Chemistry (A), Physics (A), English (A), Russian (A), Economics (A) - A-level: Japanese (A*) - Certified LTA Line Umpire - Commendation of full colours for United Hospitals Lawn Tennis Club Women’s Captainship (2022) - Nuffield Research Certificate - Gold CREST Science Award - Tie for International Recognition in Science - UCL MBBS Commendation for Presentation on “Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare” (2020) - UCL MBBS School of Immunology and Infection Best All Round Participation Prize (2022) - UCL MBBS School of Immunology and Infection David Katz Project Presentation Prize (2022) for Neuroscience project at the Francis Crick Institute
