Advert description
I'm Philippe and I'm available for tutoring maths and physics from GCSE up to University level.
Over the past couple of years, I must have given over 200 one on one tuition sessions, in both maths and physics at National 4 up to University Master level.
I spent eighteen years on the Physics faculty at the University of Cambridge, the University of Edinburgh and the Florida State University.
While at Florida State, I taught introductory physics and graduate Quantum Field Theory.
At the University of Cambridge, I taught computer simulation in physics and chemistry (with Michiel Sprik), gave graduate lectures on numerical methods in condensed matter physics. I supervised students in scientific computing, atomic and solid state physics. I also had three PhD students graduate and go on to wonderful careers. My first student is now a partner at Oliver Wyman in London, and the second student works as a research scientist at the University of California. My last student, who nicely supplemented his graduate stipend by playing online poker, went on to work in the City of London.
In Edinburgh, I taught scientific computing in Java, mathematical methods in physics, solid state physics and statistical mechanics.
I am the author/co-autohor of over forty peer-reviewed scientific articles published in some of the most prestigious journals, such as Nature, Physical Review Letters and the Physical Review.
