Experience with hosting revision courses from groups of students, private one-to-one clients, and online tuition. Developed a holistic and versatile teaching approach based on experience working students from a diverse range of backgrounds in both the private and public education sector. Tutoring alongside mainstream teaching has meant acquiring an attention to detail for exam technique and constructive feedback methods. Inspiring pupils with enthusiasm for the subject, presenting material in a relatable and relevant manner and focusing on what’s important is a key aspect to my tutoring approach. Currently an AQA Examiner for Psychology.

In my extensive experience in Primary Schools over the past five years, I have developed an intrinsic ability to work with children holistically, not only looking after their academic needs but more importantly their overall happiness and comfort.
I am a creative thinker, adaptable and resourceful. I am emotionally robust, thus work well in high-pressure situations.

I have always had a passion for teaching. It is something that fulfils me especially when my pupil finally grasps a concept and makes the classic “ahhhhhh” noise, that is music to my ears.
I took a year out before I went to university and spent it working full time as an assistant teacher and a tutor. I worked in two very contrasting schools, where I developed skills that allow me to convey scientific and mathematical concepts in a way suited to the individual. If there’s is a certain topic a pupil is finding difficult to understand, I can guarantee that after just a few sessions with me they will understand.
