TUTORING & TEACHING EXPERIENCE:
As an Oxford Neuroscience graduate and maths & science tutor with 4000+ hours of bespoke tutoring delivery spanning 11 countries & 3 continents, I am experienced in supporting KS2-3, GCSE and A-Level maths & science students across all main exam boards.

I use virtual simulators and at-home experiments to bring topics to life whilst building important life skills and revision techniques that help shape students into confident & independent learners. By balancing this engaging learning style with exam question practice my students can translate this theory to exam performances they can be proud of, winning scholarships and gaining entry to first or second choice schools with 11+, 13+ and 16+ admissions tests.

I’m confident working with students with a variety of goals and timetables from weekly after-school lessons to a more intensive home-schooling schedule. I have experience with SEN students and working within IEPs and hold Enhanced DBS and Safeguarding Certificates.
