Hey there, I'm Hugh: I'm doing my PhD in Astrophysics and Cosmology (check out my website if you want a peak of my work - https://hughmcdougall.github.io/). For nearly a decade, I've been teaching using my two honors degrees (with industry experience) in science and engineering to help students of all age / career levels find their feet in the tricky world of STEM.
Across my career I've taught freelance and professsionally at UQ, and have buckets of experience helping out with anything from highschool algebra to graduate level quantum physics; any age bracket or topic I've probably lent someone a helping hand. I make it my business to not just teach the content, but help people see the bigger picture and build a real understanding of their work.
I have a flexible timetable, can do home visits, university visits, or work at any other location of your convenience within the eastern suburbs. Send me a message/email if you think I might be able to lend a hand.
Note: I'm also available for remote tutoring over zoom, skype or any platform of your choice; a service that extends to anywhere in the world.
