Sam Nash

Hi there! My name's Sam and I'm currently an Astrophysics undergrad at the University of Leicester. I've just completed first year, achieving the following grades in their respective topics. I've also listed relevant A level grades below:

Degree level
97% - Maths (Further maths overlap)
92% - Maths (High end normal maths overlap)
89% - Electricity and Magnetism
83% - Waves and Quantum Physics
80% - Classical and Fluid Mechanics
80% - Light, Matter and Thermal Physics

A level
A - Physics (OCR B)
A - Maths (Edexcel)

As you can see in my first year I've increased my grades to the highest they can be, and this is due to changing the common approach of just knowing equations and taking more time to actually understand them, their uses, and their origins - thus building far stronger foundations to the physics and maths the student is learning. I aim for this to then positively affect the student's performance as they develop their ability to make synergistic links across topics within the course.

I also have experience in tutoring, currently with a role as a student mentor at my university. I work with year 12s and 13s in both academic and non-academic scenarios, meaning that I'm able to personally identify with my mentees while also having experience of how to maintain a professional relationship.

I charge £15/h with a free 30 minute first session to get to know the student and how competently I can facilitate their needs. While I only did OCR B and Edexcel exam boards for A level, I would be open to discussing the exam board and the students requirements before declining. I would also be open to tutoring GCSE but again would need this run by me in the 30 minute session.

I hope to help as many people as I can!
