Congratulations to Dr James Wilton-Ely on being awarded a Student Academic Choice award for Best Tutoring
The Student Academic Choice Awards enable students to celebrate and reward excellence and innovation amongst Imperial’s academic and professional staff.
The Department of Chemistry was well represented with staff short-listed in 7 out of the 8 available categories, far above any other Department. James was selected from the 200 plus nominations received this year.
James was keen to stress the importance of a supportive and stimulating environment in tutorials: 'If everyone is relaxed and secure in the knowledge that they can ask even very simple questions, the whole group can get more out of the tutorial. I remember how much tutorial discussions helped me grasp challenging concepts when I was an undergraduate at Imperial and I try to pass this on to the current students.'
