James

Hi, I’m James! I’m an academic coach and physics teacher originally from England. I have a B.Sc. in Astrophysics from the University of Hertfordshire in the UK, an M.Sc., and a Ph.D. in Physics from Queen’s University in Canada. Last year, I completed my Bachelor’s in Secondary Education at Halmstad University in Sweden. 

I have a passion for education and outreach and have been a teacher and lecturer for secondary school students, adults and university students. I have also been very active in science outreach and communication, I have been the coordinator of two public astronomy observatories. I have written popular science articles, given public lectures in Scotland, England, Canada, and Sweden, and even had a radio show discussing astronomy during my time in Canada. 

During my career, I have lived in France, Canada, and Sweden. Having lived in many countries and been an international student myself, I have developed a cross-cultural and international approach to my teaching and communication skills. 

More recently, I moved to Berlin, where I have freelanced as a physics teacher and look forward to continuing to help others meet their educational goals and improve their understanding of science. In my free time, I follow my passion for landscape/travel photography or being in the great outdoors. I specialize in physics and natural sciences. 

I’m British and Swedish and speak English, Swedish and some French.
