Bio

I am a down-to-earth, nerdy and fun mathematician and computer scientist. I am friendly, sociable and in this for the teaching and the subjects themselves!

I have successfully tutored for many years in various subjects during high school and university. I feel it was successful because I enjoy the work and, more importantly, I love to teach it. My curiosity drove me to learn and understand even the most difficult of topics, and with that, I can make it easy for others to try and understand it, too.

Education

• BSc in Math (distinction) and Computer Science (distinction)
• BSc Hons Joint with the same subjects (distinction)
• MSc in Physics
• Math Department Tutor Coordinator (2019-2020)
• Tutoring (2019 - Now)

My Proudest
Achievements

• My proudest moments were the birth of my son, marrying my wife and submitting my master's thesis in physics.
