A bit about Daniel P

I am an Aerospace Engineer and I have a master's degree with Distinction in Space Science and Engineering at UCL. Since high school, I have been given maths and physics lessons and have professional experience giving classes in high schools and private institutions remotely and face-to-face. I am an aerospace engineer and I have a master's in space science and engineering. Therefore, my education has been based upon mathematics and physics due to the nature of the subjects studied. I have experience teaching for private schools and institutions and being a freelancer since I was 15 years old. I have an online whiteboard with teaching resources that I use on my iPad, and I can deliver high-quality lessons thanks to this. if it's the first lesson, we start with a brief introduction about each other to break the ice. I always ask my students why do they want to learn mathematics, if it is just for passing an exam or if they really want to learn. If the response is the former, then I give them tips about how important it is to be passionate about what you do and that mathematics/physics is a very important subject for almost anything you will do in your life. After this very brief intro, we start with the lesson and apply my method directly which I have explained in another question in this questionnaire. If it is not the first lesson, then I replaced the intro with a recap of the last class and also a chance to ask any questions that they had, either related to the homework, the lesson itself or maybe a topic about outside research that the student may have done and then continue with the same method. Regularly, I also ask my students or the parents/guardians of the students to give me feedback or recommendations or simply to tell me anything they don't like about my teaching style because I know that different students have different needs, so it's very important to suit every lesson to the learning style of the student. I first started tutoring when I was in high school around the age of 15. I have always excelled in subjects like science, mathematics and physics, hence, it was easy for me to help my classmates that used to struggle in these subjects and after doing this for free, I saved up to buy a whiteboard and use to give face-to-face lessons at home and started to gain experience on this. I enjoy a lot solving mathematics and physics problems! It's a passion that never gets old and helping other people see how simple it can be to apply laws and rules to a problem in an orderly manner in order to solve it is very gratifying. I am also an advocate for education and the distribution of knowledge, therefore, I am certain that if people worry about their education and are always hungry for learning more things, our society would be in a much better position than it is now. My teaching methodology is to give pointers to see the students progress and make them think until they can come up with the answer. If the student is really confused, then a step-by-step approach is taken. I let the student see how a problem is just a succession of steps following certain rules, spotting the difficulties in the problem and repeating if the student still needs clarification.

First of all, there are no silly questions. Almost every question has an answer, it doesn't matter if the answer is simple or complicated, if someone wants to know something, my responsibility as a tutor is to facilitate that knowledge and explain it to my students. Another piece of philosophy that I have is to never give up on a student, some students may be very unresponsive to incentives or simply don't care a lot about their studies. This often occurs because they didn't have a teacher that really inspires them to be better, but all of this is always improbable and with my method students have demonstrated to become very proactive and interested. They love that I always answer any question they have for me, and even if I don't know all of the answers, I teach my students to use the tools and resources they have available to get to the answer. For example, most people see online teaching as a worse modality than face-to-face teaching, and this can be true when the online lessons are not adequately planned. There are many things that can be done, for instance, watching related videos, and presentations, looking for online resources, not just google searches but interactive web pages, games, and so much else. I have obtained a scholarship to study aerospace engineering at the University of Manchester and so I became known by many ex-classmates as well as by people in my area, in my home country. Thanks to this I got students that also wanted to study abroad and I got specifically a student that knew very little English by the end of 1 year of lessons, I managed to get his English level to the minimum necessary to take the TOEFL exam, and now he is studying in Russia engineering. I am very happy about that, and I hope he becomes very successful by the end of his studies. This is one of my greatest achievements as an educator. I am an aerospace engineer and I have a master's degree in space science and engineering from the University College London (UCL). I have 1 year of experience as a physics teacher in a private school in Ecuador. I also have several years of experience being a freelance teacher in my free time either for face-to-face lessons or online lessons. Aside from my main job as an engineer in the space sector, at the moment I am a part-time remote physics, mathematics and programming teacher at a Chinese institution that prepares students to enter top tier universities in the UK and Europe. Mainly my desire to become a better person by sharing the knowledge that I have. Obviously, quality education is expensive, but I can always offer my services to let people start their way to become more knowledgeable and start considering mathematics and physics as a possibility for their studies. With more educated people around the world, we can build a more sustainable and wiser society. UKSEDS and RAeS events and conferences (I am part of the YPN of the RAeS). Guitar (diploma by a private school), piano, music production (amateur on Logic Pro), reading (psychology and human behaviour, also science books especially about satellites, astrodynamics, cosmology and astrophysics), running, swimming, photography, videogames, programming and electronics, touch-typing (currently typing 100 wpm). At the moment I'm teaching GCSE level physics and mathematics as well as A levels. I have also thought of the equivalent for the final year of GCSE physics in Ecuador which is known as year 6 in high school (last year or senior year). I have also taught college students but I prefer to teach GCSE or A levels students because college students tend to have very specific course-related mathematics and physics problems which usually required more context from the course itself such as economics, architecture, chemical engineering, etc.
