About Shaun
I am in the final stages of PhD in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Before my PhD I completed an MPhil in engineering and did my engineering undergraduate degree at Southampton University in which I achieved highest marks in the year.
I have been tutoring for 12 years now and have taught maths, physics and engineering subjects at a variety of levels including GCSE, A-Levels and degree-level. My primary skill when teaching is my ability to break down the barriers to abstract concepts using well placed analogies and visualisation techniques.
Approach to tutoring
• Focus on the positives of my students, providing an environment where they are comfortable with making mistakes while building their confidence in the subject matter.
• I prepare specific additional questions and problems for my students to ensure that they have fully understood the concept being taught, rather than just following the patterns.
• Using visualisations to help students to understand abstract concepts in maths and physics.
• Using real world analogies to help students understand abstract concepts, for example when teaching algebra, I replace mathematical symbols with shapes or objects (i.e. replacing X with an apple and Y with an orange).
• I enjoy passing on my own personal learning techniques if it suits an individual, for example, using mind maps as opposed to using sequential information
• I try to stimulate the young person’s passion in subjects, especially when they are applying to university, as this is an important skill to have for personal statements and interviews. For example, I suggested to one of my students to experiment with electronics and electrical engineering using Arduinos (a commonly used prototype tool used across all age groups for building digital devices). The young person made a simple robot with this tool of his own accord. I find it greatly rewarding to encourage young people to follow their passion and this is something I want to continue to do in the future.

As a scientist without a strong background in Maths, Shaun provided me with tutoring for A-level/degree level Maths to help me better understand some of the problems I encountered during my post-graduate study.
He proved very knowledgeable in the fundamentals, and was able to explain concepts in a way that were easy to understand and using clear examples where necessary.I was really struggling with my maths degree, specifically the statistics side of it. Shaun helped me to understand it better than any of my uni friends or lecturers by using visuals and drawings. Would definitely recommend him for any maths related help!
