Advert description
I am a final-year PhD scholarship student at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. I completed my IB Diploma in 2014 with 44/45 points, and did my undergraduate and Master's at Imperial College London from-scoring within the top 5% of my year group and making the Dean's List every year. My highest qualification is currently MEng Mechanical with Nuclear Engineering, and next year I expect to complete my PhD in Mechanical Engineering too.
I have worked as a teaching assistant in my department for the past 6 years, and have been involved in the teaching and assessment of hundreds of students in modules including Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Mathematics, Mechatronics and Computer-Aided Design, all of which rely heavily on Physics and Mathematics.
During my time here, I created "Mechnet", a platform designed to facilitate peer-to-peer teaching and learning. I personally authored and shared over 1500 pages worth of notes explaining the complex material taught to us by our professors in ways that were easier for my peers to understand. For this, I was awarded the BP Dean's Award (2016) for outstanding contribution to campus life, and was also voted the Departmental Student of the Year for 3 consecutive years.
In STEM subjects especially, memory may be helpful, but understanding is crucial. I believe that everyone learns in their own style, and at their own pace. I use an adaptive teaching style to best suit each individual, and adopt a direct, concise, no-nonsense approach to the material. If you make the visible effort to learn, I always return that effort with interest.
