I teach A-Level Maths and Physics to all students, whether you're trying to progress from a D to a C or an A to an A! I work alongside students to understand their learning needs and using that as my teaching guide to help them achieve their goals.

I have worked as a tutor for the past year, whilst studying for my Physics degree at Imperial. I have prepared students for exams to help them achieve their desired outcomes. I love teaching and have seen students flourish in their subjects with the additional 1:1 tuition that I can provide. This is particularly the case when I develop a strong and trusting relationship with the student and that is a key part of my approach: students need to feel comfortable in asking any question they want and they can only do that if they enjoy learning with their tutor. I also believe that when it comes to studying a challenging subject like physics or maths, a little and often approach works far better than cramming revision in the weeks leading up to exams. It is for this reason that I prefer to build long-term partnerships with students over extended periods of time, rather than an intensive course towards exam season.

In addition to previous academic tutoring, I have worked as a student mentor on a number of Imperial College summer schools for sixth-formers. These programs focus on university preparation and extensions of A-Level subjects - including aspects of scientific computing which are excellent preparation for any STEM degree.

Since the age of 16, I have also been a part-time badminton coach - further augmenting my teaching experience.
