Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Oxford PAT
A First-Class Oxford Engineering Science graduate who won the Head of Department’s Prize, Amy specialises in Maths, Physics and admissions tests such as the Oxford PAT for students aged 16 and over.
Amy graduated from the University of Oxford in 2019 with a First in Engineering Science, finishing in the top 5% of her year and winning the Head of Department’s Prize for Excellent Performance. She went on to a PhD in Aeronautics at Imperial College London, simulating wind turbines. At the Stephen Perse Foundation she achieved A*s in Maths, Further Maths and Physics and was an Arkwright Scholar.
Amy has tutored maths and sciences since school, working with students aged 12 to 20. Most of her experience is with students aged 16 and over preparing for A-level, IB and the Oxford Physics Aptitude Test. She has helped a US student bridge the gap to the UK syllabus for the PAT, supported a first-year engineering student with university-level maths, prepared a student for the SAT and then IB Maths, and helped a GCSE student to their best science mark. She also mentors engineering undergraduates.
Amy is outgoing but takes progress seriously. She makes sure concepts are fully understood, explaining them in different ways and encouraging questions throughout. Her sessions centre on practice questions, which reveal where a student struggles and let her show efficient techniques. She agrees a personalised plan with each student and parent and gives regular feedback.
