About Maya
I’m a Physics tutor with over 4 years of experience and a BSc in Applied Physics, specialising in plasma physics and fusion energy research. My work focuses on understanding the fourth state of matter—plasma—and its incredible potential to revolutionise how we generate energy. From magnetic confinement in tokamaks to inertial confinement using lasers, I help students explore the complex physics behind fusion. I break down advanced topics into clear, manageable concepts, making them accessible and engaging. My lessons often include real-world applications, visual aids, and thought experiments that bring plasma dynamics to life. I’ve supported students interested in clean energy, space exploration, and high-energy physics, helping them build strong foundations and a deeper curiosity. We explore topics like charged particle behaviour, field interactions, and confinement systems with analytical rigour and hands-on intuition. Whether you're tackling coursework or diving into cutting-edge research ideas, I’m here to guide and challenge you. I believe that understanding plasma physics isn’t just about equations—it’s about unlocking the secrets of the universe. Join me in exploring how the fourth state of matter could one day power our world. The future of energy is bright, and it starts with knowledge.

My teaching approach in physics is grounded in deep theoretical analysis and the power of structured thought experiments. I believe the best way to understand the universe is by questioning it, modelling it, and imagining its limits. Whether it’s classical physics or cutting-edge topics like relativity, quantum mechanics, or nuclear physics, I guide students step by step towards mastery. I help learners build a strong conceptual foundation before diving into equations. My lessons are interactive, encouraging students to think critically and visualise complex phenomena. We explore time dilation, wave-particle duality, nuclear reactions, and more with clarity and purpose. For those working in advanced scientific areas, I offer targeted support to refine their understanding and boost academic performance. I provide real-world examples, especially in areas like healthcare and environmental systems, to show how physics connects to daily life. Together, we’ll tackle challenging problems with logic, creativity, and curiosity. I encourage students to ask bold questions and approach every topic with an open, analytical mind. Physics is more than a subject—it’s a way to understand the universe. Let’s uncover its secrets, one concept at a time.
