Friendly online science tutor specialising in biology, chemistry, and geology. All inquires are welcome

I have recently finished studying at the Institute of Planetary Materials, Okayama University. My PhD was focused on the geochemical properties of enstatite meteorites and how that relates to the solar nebula in the early, inner solar system. Before traveling to Japan, I completed my MSc Mineral Resources at St Andrews University. My thesis was centered around the occurrence of silver in galena (lead ore) deposits and the economic benefits of both the silver and the lead. During this time I had been working as a private tutor in the Fife, Edinburgh, and Linlithgow areas of Scotland for three years, specialising in biology and chemistry. My studies have given me the opportunity to further develop my interests in this ever-evolving and ever-changing world, bringing me closer to my goals of contributing to our future by exploring the core of our environment through its past. Research and field work have been some of the highlights of my study, enabling me to operate independently and in a group. Combined with working with ‘real world’ geological data and fossils, I have developed problem solving skills and the ability to look at things from a much wider perspective. Working on my undergraduate dissertation on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula and my field study in April 2017 in Spain on the Rio Tinto River greatly enhanced my field based skills, developing a more critical and analytical approach to study and research.
