Thomas G.
Private tutor in Singapore, Singapore
Education
Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge (BA: 1st class & MSci: upper-second class) In the later years of my degree I focussed upon theoretical physics, especially statistical physics. Ph.D (in progress) at University of Cambridge with one year at Nanyang Technological University (July 2018-July 2019) I do theoretical and computational work in the field of statistical physics.
Experience
I have tutored undergraduate-level physics to four students, and the students have gone on to do well in the end-of-year examinations. In addition to this, I have tutored four students in the physics and mathematics required for them to produce a master's thesis. In both cases (the students worked in pairs) the thesis was awarded a good mark. In fact, an abridged version of one of the theses was published in a peer-reviewed journal. I scored highly in my A-Levels (taken in the United Kingdom), gaining A* grades in all subjects (mathematics, further mathematics, chemistry, and physics). In addition to the tutoring work I have done at degree-level, I have also worked on academic summer schools for younger children (aged roughly 12-14).

Hobbies
When not working on my Ph.D I enjoy playing badminton. When in Cambridge I played for the University and served the club as both Treasurer and President. I take a keen interest in world politics, with the greatest focus upon the United Kingdom's affairs, especially as it currently seeks to extricate itself from the European Union. Until recently I wrote articles for a financial affairs and politics website (the website - a start-up when I joined - is currently transmorphing and not accepting articles). I enjoy reading a great deal, and find myself easily absorbed by books on subjects ranging from current affairs right through to fiction from authors such as Kafka and Orwell. Finally, I have an interest in learning languages. From September 2017 until July 2018 I studied Mandarin at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou.
