Mitchell W - Tutor in Hatfield

I'm studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Pretoria (UP) and I have a year of experience teaching physics to first-year engineering students here at UP. I enjoy maths and physics and also enjoy helping people. I'm a bit of a nerd and enjoy video games, anime and also playing the ukulele and guitar. I hope I can be of help to you.

Experience
2019-02-20 - 2019-11-20
Physics Tutor

My job involved running weekly tutorials for two classes of about 30 students each. It was my responsibility to ensure that students had an understanding of the work and report back to the lecturer on what sections they were struggling with. I also had to conduct a test at the end of each tutorial session and then mark each test. This gave me experience in having to teach students of varied understanding and learning styles as well as bettering my own understanding of the subject matter.
