My Journey
From Classroom to Cambridge to Founding Rutland Tutors
Formation of Rutland Tutors
Since completing my studies, my passion for mathematics and physics led me to found Rutland Tutors with the mission to inspire and guide the next generation of students through personalised tutoring from KS1 to A-Level. Leveraging my connections at the University of Cambridge, I also plan to organise exclusive day trips, featuring presentations with leading experts and admissions tutors, aimed at inspiring older A-Level and GCSE students and enhancing their UCAS applications.
Additionally, I am committed to handpicking the top A-Level students from Rutland’s best, those who not only achieve outstanding grades but also share a genuine passion for maths and physics. These selected tutors will be provided with comprehensive resources and support, enabling them to teach GCSE and lower levels, inspiring younger students just as I was inspired by my own tutor.
University of Cambridge
- MASt in Physics
While pursuing my Master’s degree in Physics at Cambridge, I specialised in advanced theoretical and mathematical physics modules. A significant milestone in my journey was conducting pioneering research in experimental quantum computation, in collaboration with Hitachi Europe and the Semiconductor Group at the Cavendish Laboratory. This project not only pushed the boundaries of quantum computation but also earned me a world record and a nomination for the prestigious Nevill Mott Prize for outstanding experimental research.
Throughout my time at Cambridge, I continued to tutor students, working with individuals ranging from KS3 to A-Level. I also led presentations on complex theoretical topics, helping my peers to grasp challenging concepts and deepen their understanding of advanced physics.
First-Class Honours in Physics
I graduated with a First-Class Honours Bachelor's degree in Physics from Swansea University, where my commitment to academic excellence was recognised through multiple awards. I particularly excelled in my theoretical modules, achieving perfect scores in exams for Quantum Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics, and Special Relativity. My undergraduate studies not only deepened my curiosity about the physical world but also ignited a passion for explaining complex concepts in ways that inspire others.
During my Bachelor's, I began tutoring Maths and Physics, working with several families to help students not only improve their grades but also develop a genuine love for these subjects. Just as my own math tutor once inspired me, I sought to empower my students to reach their full potential in the sciences.
Inspired By My Tutor
When I was 12, I met Dane, a young and cool Maths undergraduate who quickly became more than just a tutor—he became a friend and a role model. Dane started tutoring me in KS2 and continued to guide me all the way through A-Levels, helping me excel in Maths, Further Maths, and Physics. His passion for the subject was contagious, and his ability to make complex topics accessible sparked my own love for mathematics.
Dane wasn’t just a tutor; he was someone I looked up to, someone who showed me that learning could be both fun and inspiring. His influence played a significant role in my decision to pursue a degree in Physics, and ultimately, in my academic success. I hope to have the same impact on my students at Rutland Tutors, helping them not only achieve their academic goals but also develop a genuine love for the subjects I teach, just as Dane did for me.
