About Me:
I am Alex, an experienced and passionate mathematics and physics tutor with over two years of tutoring experience. I hold a BSc in Theoretical Physics from University College Dublin (partly completed at UC Berkeley) and I am currently completing my MSc in Mathematical Physics at University of Oxford as a full ride-scholar. I have several prestigious academic awards and scholarships, including the O'Raifeartaigh Medal for achieving the highest mark in my undergraduate degree in physics. My mission is to make math and physics accessible, engaging, and enjoyable for all students. I have worked with learners of all ages and levels, from elementary school to college and beyond.

What to Expect from My Lessons:

1) Personalised Learning: Every student is unique, and I tailor my lessons to meet your individual needs and learning style. Whether you're a visual learner or prefer hands-on activities, I have the resources and strategies to help you grasp even the most challenging concepts.

2) Clear Explanations: I believe in breaking down complex ideas into simple, understandable parts. I'll provide clear explanations, step-by-step guidance, and real-world examples to ensure you grasp the fundamentals thoroughly.

3) Interactive Lessons: Learning should be fun and engaging! My lessons are interactive, featuring discussions, problem-solving activities, and interactive experiments when applicable. You won't just memorise formulas; you'll understand the principles behind them.

4) Practice Makes Perfect: Mastery comes with practice. I provide a wealth of practice problems and assignments to reinforce your understanding and build your confidence. We'll review your work together, addressing any difficulties or misconceptions.

5) Exam Preparation: Whether you're preparing for a standardized test, final exams, or university entrance exams, I have extensive experience helping students succeed in high-stakes assessments. I'll provide targeted strategies and practice tests to boost your performance.

Subjects I Cover:

1) Mathematics: From basic arithmetic to advanced calculus, algebra, geometry, and statistics, I cover a wide range of math topics. Whether you're struggling with algebraic equations or preparing for a challenging calculus course, I'm here to help.

2) Physics: Physics can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. I offer support at Leaving Certificate, Junior Certificate, GCSEs and A Levels, as well as more advanced university topics including classical mechanics, electromagnetism, astrophysics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and more. Let's demystify the laws of the universe together!

Why You Should Choose Me:

1) Proven Track Record: My students consistently achieve improved grades and a deeper understanding of math and physics. Many of my past students have gone on to pursue successful careers in STEM fields.

2) Flexible Scheduling: I understand that students have busy lives. I offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate your availability.

3) Online or In-Person: You can choose between online lessons from the comfort of your home or in-person sessions, depending on your preferences and location (I am based in Oxford).

4) Affordable Rates: Quality education shouldn't break the bank. I offer competitive rates based on my qualifications with discounts for group lessons or multiple sessions.

5) Passion for Teaching: Teaching isn't just a job for me; it's my passion. I have visited multiple high schools in the past year to encourage students to pursue STEM degrees (particularly women!) and I am similarly dedicated to helping you succeed and will be ultimately committed to your academic growth.

Don't let math and physics hold you back any longer! Together, we can unlock your full potential in these subjects and set you on a path to success. Whether you're looking to ace an upcoming exam or build a solid foundation for future studies, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

Contact me today to schedule your first lesson, and let's embark on a journey of learning, discovery, and achievement in mathematics and physics!

Ali was super helpful and instructive in all my lessons with her, she really helped build my maths and physics skills and gave me the confidence I needed to tackle my exams. I would recommend her to anyone as a teacher, she was always patient and kind and ready to answer any questions I had!

I had the privilege of being tutored by Ali for my college module Methods and Statistics, and I must say that Ali's guidance was instrumental in my success. Ali's teaching approach is both patient and effective. She not only helped me understand complex concepts but also made the learning process enjoyable. Thanks to Ali's support, I performed exceptionally well in my college module. I highly recommend her as a tutor to anyone seeking that little bit of extra help in order to excel in anything maths related! :)

Ali worked with me as a tutor at The Grind Wexford for the last 2 years as a Mathematics and Physics tutor. Her love of these subjects is indescribable and her attention to even the smallest details are amazing. Every student that came under Ali's tutelage excelled well beyond their expectations and their results in state exams were well above the national average. I am sad to see Ali leave us at The Grind, but what I do know, is that wherever she goes her students will excell in every facet of their education.
