Tutor Profile

Meryl

Private Physics and Maths Tutor in Airdrie

Hi, I'm Meryl. I'm just finishing up my PhD and am keen to keep tutoring as this has always been my favourite part of studying --- sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm with others!

I hold an integrated masters in mathematics and astronomy and I will soon qualify with a PhD in physics as well.

I'm looking for some students who are excited to learn about topics in maths, statistics or physics in one-to-one sessions, either online or in-person. I am open to teaching at any level from high school to postgraduate.

Please get in touch if you are interested!!

Teaching Experience

I have half a decade of teaching experience in high school, undergraduate and postgraduate level maths and physics.

I spent two years as a tutor for the Widening Participation Summer School at Glasgow University where I helped final year high school students catch up with higher and advanced higher mathematics. During my masters year I was a tutor for the first year undergraduate mathematics course, covering topics in calculus and linear algebra, and the real analysis course.

Throughout my PhD at Cardiff University I have demonstrated for several undergraduate and postgraduate courses: from the hands-on physics labs to the highly theoretical General Relativity masters course, I have worked one-on-one and mentored individual students as well as prepared tutorials and mock exam questions, and delivered lectures.

Tutoring Approach

Having worked with such a vast range of age groups and backgrounds, I really appreciate how important it is to connect with each student to understand their prior knowledge and individual needs.

I also strongly believe that learning is an active process and structure my approach to teaching around nurturing conversation rather than lecturing. I aim to help students to build the confidence to ask questions, make mistakes and figure things out on their own.
