Drums Teachers : 1-1 Drums Lessons

Hello! My journey into materials science began with hands-on research experience at Nankai University, where I worked on the refractive properties of electromagnetic glass and investigated Tungsten Oxide as an alternative light shield. This exploration involved experimenting with its voltage-dependent refractive index, which culminated in an award-winning report. Later, an internship with China Southern Airlines gave me the chance to dive deeper into high-temperature materials. There, I studied advanced alloys for a GTF engine project, simulating material properties using COSMOL, and analyzed how Nickel-Aluminum alloys and their FCC structures can enhance ductility under high temperatures—a quality that can be improved with boron doping. Resources like Stuff Matters by Mark Miodownik and MIT’s OpenCourseWare on physical metallurgy provided invaluable insights during this time.

This initial exposure to material behavior and manipulation fueled my desire to continue experimenting. Through a research program with Dr. Profundo at UC Santa Cruz, I took on the challenge of designing spaceship materials. My project involved modeling a thin-walled pressure vessel, derived for membrane stress, and calculating ideal Young’s moduli. When I extended this model to consider cylindrical shapes and non-negligible wall thicknesses, I found myself in the realm of Lame’s equations. I became intrigued by how materials like CFRP and quartz-fiber composites perform under unique stresses, learning about their high strength-to-weight ratios and suitability for aerospace applications.

Following this, I delved into the realm of non-destructive testing (NDT) with Dr. Zhang at MIT, where I conducted a literature review on ultrasonic NDT. Through studies on ultrasonic transducer models and computational imaging, I explored how these methods assess material integrity and learned about the limitations when measuring certain thermal and electrical properties.

These diverse experiences have shaped my ambition to pursue a career in materials science—a field where I feel truly inspired. As I began studying physics at UCL, I realized my drive to solve practical problems aligns more with materials science than general physics. I’m excited to engage in projects focused on energy storage and renewable energy materials, particularly in solar technology, which I believe holds potential in addressing climate change.

I am a current 2nd year Psychology student, I am a mature student who studies part time whilst also working full time as an actor and drummer. I am Italian and have been teaching English speaking students Italian for many years. I have also coached many musicians who are trying to learn drums. I really enjoy tutoring, especially these subjects that I am passionate about. I am very patient and encouraging and I always try to get the best out of my students.
I moved to the UK in 2020 but I have previously spent time in London where I have learnt to speak English. I have since then worked around the world where I have had to use my language skills to communicate and I am now very competent and confident in teaching my own native language to new learners.
I now work as an actor and a drummer and I hope to inspire and support other students with their passions and learning needs.

Hi, my name is Ben Spink and I recently graduated from Durham University with a 2:1 in Music and Philosophy. I have a huge passion for music – in performance I play the trumpet to grade 8 standard, drums and tuned percussion and sing. I have a vast knowledge of the history of music through GCSE (A*), A level (A) and historical modules at university, and I researched in depth the role of the trumpet in British music, 1945-90 for my university dissertation in which I achieved a 2:1. I also have an interest in the psychological impact of music which was a key aspect to my EPQ at Marlborough College titled: ‘Can Music Enhance Sporting Performance’ (A). In Philosopy I achieved A* at GCSE, A at A-Level and excelled in Philosophy at University, particularly with modules surrounding ethics in business, the environment and with animals.

Hi, I am Gordon. I am a Graduate of Cell and Molecular biology and gained my degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and I have also finished my MRes degree at UCL. I am currently a Doctoral student studying Clinical Neuroscience at the University Of Oxford . I have a great affinity for Neuroscience and Biology and am also passionateabout sharinge my knowledge in Biology. Furthermore, I have a good international background and am proficient in English, Chinese , and Cantonese ( also good in Japanese too) , don’t worry if you are not confident in English !

I understand the difficulties of studying biology and am dedicated to guiding students to achieve better in the field of Biology. I am also an academic advisor in Scholar Lunch and help high-achieving students in research work.

I am a human biology student with a passion for the intricacies of the human body, whether it is in high-performance sport, cognition, or epidemiology.
I have as much of an interest in anatomy as I do in healthcare, and have extensive connections in both areas.
I am very academically well-rounded; as well as biology I have a breadth of knowledge in English literature (both classical and contemporary), and an in-depth understanding of music theory, performance, and history.
I am passionate about learning and encouraging a lifelong love of learning; not just the ability to memorise but the ability to understand, apply, and use knowledge to challenge or uphold conventions.
Outside of academia I love to be outdoors; I run (a nationally successful UK ‘fell’ (mountain) runner), swim, cycle, and walk. I love listening to music, live and at home, and play in bands locally.

Hello, I’m Aamnah and I’d love to help you on your journey to a career in medicine. As a first-year medical student at Brunel Medical School and a Biomedical Science graduate, I’ve navigated the rigorous academic challenges and competitive application process myself. I know what it takes to succeed because I’ve been in your shoes—and I’ve come out the other side with not only a deep passion for medicine but also practical strategies that really work.

My background means I can break down complex scientific concepts into clear, understandable lessons, while my real-world medical experience allows me to provide insider tips on everything from exam preparation (like UCAT/BMAT strategies) to acing interviews. I’m committed to giving you personalized guidance, ensuring that every session is tailored to your needs, goals, and learning style.

If you’re looking for a tutor who not only understands the academic side of medicine but also the practical, day-to-day challenges of preparing for a medical career, then I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to unlock your full potential and make your dream of becoming a doctor a reality.
