Education
Hello! My most recent education is completing a master's with first class honours in Physics and Philosophy from the University of Bristol, UK. I graduated with a commendation and excellent grades. The University of Bristol is a very high achieving and competitive university with one of the best physics department's in the country. At university I studied a joint honours course in Physics and Philosophy and loved every moment! I particularly enjoyed studying quantum mechanics and general relativity, and reading about the philosophic foundations of modern physics. My philosophy of physics project is being published and I was awarded a first class honours degree, averaging over 80% in physics and mathematics exams. I am now applying to study theoretical physics at Cambridge and will go on to a PhD and a research career.
Experience
I spent two years working with professional tutoring firm Creative in Excellence, where I tutored maths and English. At university I spent lots of time helping and teaching friends, hosting study sessions and being a point of contact whenever someone needed assistance. Furthermore I was president of Physics and Philosophy society, and organised and delivered seminars and lectures on topics in physics and the philosophy and history of physics. I love my subjects and believe studying can be enjoyable and engaging, with a good teacher. I want to share my passion for learning and understanding with students and make physics, maths and philosophy accessible and clear to as many people as possible. My high-level specialisms include quantum mechanics and quantum information theory, mechanics, and the philosophy of physics. I also love metaphysics and epistemology, and the philosophy of time. Relevant Grades: Classical physics I - 88% (1st) Classical physics II - 80% (1st) Quantum Mechanics I - 87% (1st) Quantum Mechanics II - 93% (1st) Computational Physics - 90% (1st) Solid State Physics - 81% (1st) General Relativity and Cosmology - 81% (1st) Quantum Information Theory - 83% (1st) Mathematical Physics - 77% (1st) Philosophy Thesis - 90% (1st) Advanced Philosophy of Physics - 74% (1st)

Hobbies
When not reading and studying physics, maths or philosophy I enjoy reading literary fiction and playing the piano and guitar. It is also important to exercise so I play basketball and walk in nature. My favourite work of fiction is either Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, or Dostoevsky's The Brother's Karamazov. In fact I almost studied English Literature at University before I settled upon Physics and Philosophy, and it remains a passion. Other hobbies include art galleries and going on photography walks in forests and mountains with my friends, and once we are allowed inside again, or once it warms up, I will be playing basketball as much as I can!
