Subjects taught
-
Mathematics
Mathematics was one of my best (highest scoring) subjects at high school and university level. In my day to day work, I use mathematics often. I may be able to bring math to life (make it a little less abstract).

Physical Science
I am a Nuclear Physicist with 8 years of industry experience. I also struggled with this subject in high school, and now that I have gained some experience I realize how the subject could have been made easier back then. It is not difficult, it just requires a certain way of thinking.
