Hi, I’m Evan.
Astrophysicist. Full-time tutor. Lifelong science communicator.
I spent years working inside the Science Dome, standing in front of school groups, families and curious strangers, turning big ideas about the universe into something that actually clicked. That’s where I learned the thing that’s shaped everything I do since: it doesn’t matter how brilliant an explanation is if it doesn’t land with the person in front of you. Good teaching is a conversation, not a lecture.
Communicating has been my whole working life, really — speaking to rooms of five and rooms of five hundred, translating the technical into the human, and making sure nobody switches off. Alongside it, I’ve spent a lot of time working with people one-to-one: listening as much as explaining, and meeting people exactly where they are rather than where a textbook assumes they should be.
Maths and physics have been a constant thread through all of it. I’ve loved them for as long as I can remember, and I still do — genuinely, not as a professional pose. That matters when you’re the person trying to help a student believe they can love them too.
These days I tutor full-time, as an astrophysicist working with students from right across the spectrum — some at the UK’s most well-known schools and colleges, some studying internationally, some confident and ambitious, and some simply trying to get their head around the basics without feeling silly for asking. I enjoy all of it equally, and the students who arrive anxious or behind are often the ones I find most rewarding to work with.
I take real care with pastoral support, particularly for students with additional needs — patience, structure and consistency matter as much as subject knowledge, and I never treat that as an afterthought. If you’d like a sense of what that looks like in practice, my reviews say it better than I can.
