Over the past few years I’ve taught Bsc students, masters students and PhD students. Currently I’m teaching two new PhD students, but the teaching is mainly lab based as opposed to theory. I’ve also tutored GCSE maths in my spare time, which I loved, but currently can’t fit in with the hours I’m working!

Yes, I teach people doing university degrees how to do different lab skills. I really enjoy it and think it’s one of the best things about my PhD.

I’ve taught lots of people over the years. I used to tutor A level chemistry which was really fun and I’ve taught PhD students and even lecturers at university who are new to the technique I use! I’ve also had the oppertunity to spend time with memebers of the public and given then insights into what we do at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source. I think whe you’re in science there is always an element of teaching, this can even be simply answering your non-science friends questions!

Yes, I’ve taught people at various stages of my career in science. That could be from a small group to an individual. A big part of science at university is the sharing of ideas and teaching others around you who may have not come across a certain concept. It’s always fun to do and gets you to cover things you may have forgotten!

Hugh commented on :
Yes – at the beginning I used to work in the lab with more junior scientists, studying for PhD and help them learn how to use the instruments and analyse the results. Later, I lectured undergraduates, but these days I am mostly involved in supervising PhD students, so as well as teaching the science aspects, I should also be able to help them with managing their project, planning their career and publishing their results.
