"To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be."
Nathan is a professional mechanical engineer with a Master’s and PhD from Durham University, UK, where he focused on modelling the human heart. Always excelling in maths and science, he found engineering as the perfect way to combine both while occasionally pretending he's a doctor.
Tutoring came naturally to Nathan, given his passion for problem-solving and education. He finds helping students overcome academic challenges just as rewarding as solving complex engineering problems. Whether breaking down difficult concepts or guiding students through tricky calculations, Nathan brings a patient, approachable, and methodical teaching style. His goal is to inspire confidence and curiosity in his students, equipping them with the tools to succeed.
In addition to GEO, Nathan works as a software engineer in Cambridge, UK, specialising in geometric modelling for computer-aided design and engineering software. His work involves developing advanced computational tools to help engineers and designers bring their ideas to life with precision and efficiency.
When he’s not working, tutoring, or solving problems of the heart (both biological and geometric), Nathan enjoys hobbies that keep his mind sharp and his spirits high. A devoted fan of crime and thriller novels, he’s always on the hunt for the next gripping mystery. As a football enthusiast, he enjoys watching matches and analysing games with the same intensity he brings to his engineering projects. He’s also a fan of cinema, especially cheesy films, finding joy in their light-heartedness and the occasional laugh-out-loud moment. Whether it’s unwinding with a book, enjoying a match, or chuckling at a B-movie, Nathan knows how to balance his professional and personal passions.
