Learn a lot, live a lot
To learn is to discover the wonders of the universe and expand the limits of the human imagination.
I’m a research student in mathematical sciences, learning about plasma physics for fusion energy. My current research is particularly concerned with divertor modelling for levitated dipole fusion devices. I am also passionate about STEM education, philosophy, literature and music.
More than anything else, I hope to inspire a genuine love of learning.

Private Tutoring
I also offer private online tutoring in secondary and tertiary mathematics, physics and study skills.
Too often, learning is seen only as ticking off syllabus points and memorising information without any meaning behind it. When tutoring, I teach the way I learn: deeply and purposefully.
Memory aids, exam technique and study skills are balanced with discussions of context, the ‘why’ behind the topics we explore and the relevance they have on the real world.
By focussing on uncovering the fundamental principles guiding a subject, learning mathematics and physics involve much less memorisation and more common sense and critical thinking.
Learn to think mathematically, uncover the hidden structures of the universe and develop a deep passion for learning.

Instead of discussing my research progress or any of my favourite topics of philosophy, education and science, I’d like to take some of your time justifying my coffee hobby…
