I am a 3rd year Medical student and a Psychology graduate with over 11 years experience supporting students in achieving their dreams. My main focus is Maths, Science and 11+. No two students are the same so neither is my teaching.

I have taught students aged 4 - 16 years old in person and online. My main areas of focus are Maths GCSE, Science GCSE and 11+.

I have supported students in achieving top GCSE grades of 8/9s, with students achieving grades of 3 levels higher. I have supported students who have been short of minimum requirements in achieving stellar results. Additionally, my 11+ students have got into Slough, Herschel, Queen Marys, King Edwards and more grammar schools.

I strongly believe “one size doesn’t fit all.” I use a person-centred approach to identify each students’ strengths and weakness. Additionally, I believe in using scientifically approved study techniques use as spaced repetition and active recall. Using these techniques ensures that students don’t just memorise the content but develop a deep and meaningfully connection to it that ensures they achieve the best possible grade. I believe that each student has intellectual potential but may need help cultivating it to allow it to bloom.

My teaching style is borne from my approach to my own education. As a Medical student, I know the level of discipline, hard work and the key secret, working smart, needed to achieve success.

I have developed wealth of resources over my teaching years that I utilise to provide the best learning experience for all my students. I use a mixture of interesting examples, videos, questions, scenarios, and peer-to-peer teaching to keep my students learning and engaged.

To start, well have an initial assessment. Well discuss your strengths, weaknesses and academic goals. Well then create an agile plan of action to help you achieve this. Together, well work as a team to get you to where you need to be.
