I am a passionate and committed tutor with over 10 years experience in helping children and adults in maths and sciences. I also have a couple years experience in tutoring Cell Biology and Biochemistry at degree-level at the University of Cambridge.

As an enthusiastic and patient tutor, I thoroughly enjoy helping students develop their understanding of the topics at hand. I believe problem solving and critical thinking are essential skills that students should develop alongside with the knowledge they acquire.

Typically with a practical approach, I use past papers to enable students to get the sense of the language and style of answering exam style questions. This also builds the confidence in tackling questions and highlights gaps in learning. I also use learning aids such as powerpoint presentations to explore and encourage students reading around the topics to make learning more memorable.

Besides tutoring for mainstream subjects, I am TESOL qualified (Trinity College, London) and have taught in a language school to help children and adult learners with their English qualifications.

I have had several years of experience in advising students on their school and university choices. As a Cambridge graduate, I would be very happy to assist with Oxbridge applications and also personal statements writing.

As an academic author/writer, I can also help proof-reading
