I am a University of Cambridge graduate who read chemical engineering at Trinity College.

Maths and science unlock tools that allow us to understand the world around us. Utilising the scientific method enables you to tackle a vast number of challenges in life and equips you with logical methods to solve real-world problems.

Science is what we use to describe the world and mathematics is the language we write with, this is exactly why I enjoy the subject. I will help my students by showing them new ways of thinking and approaching problems that will not only get them through exams but equip them for real-life problem-solving.I believe the key to success in anything is having the confidence in your abilities.Too often I hear "Where is this actually used...?" in a student’s attempt to skip past algebra, I have found the key is to get the student to see the relevance in the subject. This technique of memory association is key in any exam as the student no longer is forced to remember a seemingly esoteric concept but can instead tie it into something they can relate to. I aim to grow confidence in all of my students which is something that will stay with them all the way through university and into the working world.

I am applying to this role to leverage my experience in tutoring to help students reach their aspirations. I am a strong believer that everyone has potential and the gifts to do whatever they put their mind to. They just need to take the jump into the unknown and commit.I am here to say they don`t need to make that jump alone.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have had 5 years experience, 250+ hours, tutoring GCSE and A-level maths, science and computing. Through this time I have developed my skills and helped students reach their university aspirations. I have successfully tutored with all of the new syllabuses.

I have taken modules at university level which encompass computing, mathematics, physics and chemistry.
