Like many journeys, my career`s been a bit of a winding road. It started with Chemical Engineering, where I learned to apply math, physics, and chemistry to design real-world solutions. This led me to pursue a master`s thesis in AI, specializing in Reinforcement Learning. Now, I`m all about building cool web applications and I help startups – usually ones in the AI space – launch their products on the web.

This unique background helps me break down complex technical concepts for my students, making connections that might not be obvious at first.

Experience: I have over 300 hours of combined experience in academic mentoring and personalised tutoring, specialising in supporting students across GCSE, A-level, and occasionally undergraduate levels. My work, primarily delivered online, includes:

Online Tutor (2023 - Present): Design and deliver focused 1-on-1 instruction in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry for GCSE and A-level students, with experience in the Edexcel, AQA, and OCR exam boards. I tailor lessons to individual needs, developing learning strategies, problem-solving skills, and exam techniques to boost understanding, confidence, and results.

University Academic Mentor (2022-2023): Mentored first-year Imperial College students in introductory STEM modules, emphasizing the connection between theory and practical application. I provided detailed explanations, guided problem-solving, and fostered collaboration. This honed my ability to break down complex concepts, adapt my teaching, and equip students with problem-solving skills.

My teaching style is interactive and emphasises practical application. I use guided practice to build a strong foundation, followed by independent work to promote confidence and self-reliance.
