About Me

ABOUT ME

I've worked in Dubai on and off for a good few years as a private physics/maths tutor and after that moved over to online tuition. Whilst online tutoring I've had the privilege to get to know a large part of South America. From the Cumbia of Colombia, hitchhiking the entire length of Argentina to living for 6 months in Rio de Janeiro.

I'm a physics geek, juggling-fanboy, all-things-music-enthusiast and love all things spiritualism too! A deep conservation about human consciousness always has it's place too for me. I play a few instruments and love to have a jam too!

PHILOSOPHY

You're as happy as you decide to be. Life's too short to spend too much time in an office in front of a screen.

"Try to become a man of value, rather than success"... Albert Einstein

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking the entirety of Argentina is probably my proudest achievement, the video trail that was left behind can be found here if of interest ^_^

Teach, Learn, Share

Probably my favourite thing to share with people is the mathematics behind juggling - how you can assign a number to each throws and hence derive all sorts of new, exciting patterns.

You can practice English/French/Spanish/Portuguese with me (although all language non-English come with a fruity accent and well so does the English sometimes too!)

I can also just teach/share my knowledge of standard Maths/Physics, but most take a pass on that ;-) haha

What I Can Share with Hosts

A few tales to tell but the best is always to have a jam if there're instruments !
