Daniel

I am an experienced lecturer in the field of Sports Science, and more specifically Sports Biomechanics. I have worked as a lecturer for 5 years, teaching students on a Sports Science Degree programme. I have also worked as an Academic Tutor for Sports Degree programmes, both online and in person. I therefore have a good understanding of the academic requirements of University level study and can help support students at both degree level and A level to improve their academic skills and Sports Biomechanics understanding.

I now run my own Golf Science Education business which teaches amateur and professional golfers about the Science of Golf. I am therefore not just an educator who knows how to deliver content, I am also someone who knows the importance of education in preparing people for life after University.

Please feel free to get in contact with me if you are interested in having me as your tutor.

Tutoring Approach

I pride myself on being an engaging lecturer and being able to make difficult topics easy to understand; which were consistently evidenced in my student feedback. I am an approachable and friendly person, which helps students feel more comfortable asking questions about content. In my teaching, I like to provide real-world examples and use practical demonstrations where possible, as I believe it helps students understand topics more clearly.
