Cambridge Graduate and Qualified Teacher (QTS) with over 12 years tutoring experience.

I am incredibly passionate about education and work hard to motivate my students and help them achieve the highest possible grades. I am currently writing a series of educational children`s books alongside tutoring. I first began tutoring Maths while still at school and quickly developed a passion for teaching.

I am a qualified teacher with experience teaching in schools across London. As a teacher I taught across the curriculum, particularly in Year 6. One of my proudest moments was when, during my NQT year, my Year 6 class achieved record SATs results in both English and Maths. Throughout my teaching and tutoring career the greatest reward has been watching my students exceed expectations and achieve their full potential.

I have a friendly approach to teaching and believe that building the students’ confidence is a vital part of the process. My students feel comfortable with me and so are immediately open to the learning. Tutoring is not just helpful in the lead up to exams. I often support struggling students who need help to overcome obstacles in learning and also try to create engaging lessons to motivate my tutees. I believe helping build confidence is key to success.

I have travelled widely and enjoy a variety of arts and sports which I use to help tailor lessons towards my student`s interests when possible. I feel my enthusiasm for the subjects I teach also helps motivate my students further. I truly enjoy both teaching and learning across the curriculum. My passion, for example, for reading, writing and knowledge led me to complete a History degree at Cambridge. However, my equal love of Science and Mathematics led me to do a Maths specialism course during my PGCE. I have since taught extensively across the key stages and curriculum.

I am equally comfortable working hard towards exam deadlines, as I am teaching creative lessons designed to promote enjoyment of learning. I particularly enjoy running Maths Investigation and Games clubs. These help students find the pleasure in mathematics and by also building up their confidence lead to them overcome obstacles they face. I often have students begging me for extra lessons in the holidays to do ‘fun maths’! It can’t all be games of course and I always make sure I prepare students rigorously for tests. These teaching methods have meant my students achieve highly successful results.

As I able to help support students in many different areas I regularly get asked to assist with homework outside the subject I was initially booked to teach!
