teaching

I was a lecturer for the 49th Saas Fee school on The Milky Way in the Gaia era. I have taught undergraduates taking Physics at both the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford. This involved taking small group tutorials, demonstrating in practical labs, and marking their work. I have also interviewed for undergraduate Natural Sciences admissions at Christ's. Below is a list of the specific teaching I have done.
