Teaching Experience:
I have several years of tutoring and teaching experience across a range of age groups. I began by supporting younger students in Years 3-4 with Maths and English at school, and helped organise assemblies to build their confidence and communication.
In sixth form, I tutored GCSE Maths students (Years 10-11), helping them prepare for exams with structured revision and personalised support.
I also currently teach Religious Education at Sunday School, where I lead weekly sessions focused on values, reflection, and critical thinking in a faith-based context.
These experiences have helped me develop a calm, clear teaching style that's adaptable to different students' needs and learning styles.
Tutoring Approach:
My teaching style is calm, structured, and tailored to each student. I begin by identifying their strengths, gaps, and preferred learning style, and then adapt my sessions accordingly.
I guide students through concepts using worked examples and intuitive explanations, and encourage active problem-solving so they build confidence step by step. I never just give the answer-instead, I offer prompts and hints to help students arrive at solutions themselves.
I place a strong emphasis on exam technique and confidence-building. Once a topic is understood, I support students with targeted exam-style questions and past paper strategies.
Lessons are typically 60 minutes, but I'm flexible depending on what a student needs that day.
My goal is to make maths and chemistry feel manageable - even enjoyable - by helping students feel genuinely prepared and capable, not just memorising steps before an exam.
