(3 student reviews)
I hold a PhD in Theoretical Particle Physics from the University of Melbourne, where my doctoral work received the Chancellor’s Prize in 2022. With a Master’s degree in the same field and an undergraduate background in mathematical physics, neuroscience, and ancient languages (Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit), I bring a wealth of knowledge to my tutoring. Currently, I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the Dark Matter Centre for Excellence at Adelaide University.
**Teaching Experience & Methodology**
With over twelve years of tutoring experience, I have taught both one-on-one and in classroom settings. I’ve been a tutor, teaching assistant, and lab demonstrator at the University of Melbourne for undergraduate physics courses, and I’ve taught Modern Greek at the Victorian School of Languages and Ancient Greek at the Centre for Adult Education (CAE). My broad teaching background enables me to explain challenging concepts in clear, relatable ways to foster true understanding. I am passionate about inspiring confidence and enthusiasm in my students and helping them unlock their full potential.
