I am a student at Oxford University reading for Materials Science, and have been tutoring for 5 years. I love helping my students reach their full potential in their subject, as well as developing an independent curiosity for learning.

Tutoring Experience

While studying in my grammar school, I got my first experience teaching as a French and 11+ tutor. I carried on tutoring STEM subjects at GCSE level while I was studying for my A-levels, achieving top grades.

During the academic year 23/24 I was tutoring 7 students.

I am currently helping year 13s through UCAS applications, including entrance exams such as the ESAT.

Tutoring Approach

As a current University student, I have an easy time relating to my students on both an academic and non-academic level. I have found this has been key in helping them develop the same passion and independent interest for STEM that I have.

I aim to build confidence, resilience, and self-belief.

My approach to teaching consists of a balance between developing a student's genuine independent interests, possibly beyond the course, and making sure that students have the tactical knowledge to ensure their ability is reflected well by their exam marks.

I am very flexible with my teaching times - students can book different time slots each week.
