I read for an MEng in Chemical Engineering at Clare College, University of Cambridge. I was the only one to be made an offer for Chemical Engineering at Clare College in my year of application, recognising the strength of my application. Prior to successfully applying to Cambridge from a comprehensive state school, I won numerous awards, achieving gold and best in school certificates in both the junior and intermediate UKMT maths challenges and also won a Copper award in the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge. Prior to starting my degree, I also tutored GCSE maths for 2 years whilst also studying for my A-Levels. Alongside my degree, I have helped applicants for both Chemical Engineering and Natural Sciences with interview preparation, from personal statement all the way through to mock interviews, completing 10 mock interviews in 2020 alone. I have also been carrying out private tuition whilst at university.

Tutoring Experience

01/10/2017 - to date: Private Tutor (Subject Support and University Admissions), Self-employed, London

Tutoring Approach

I can either start from no assumed knowledge or just focus on what my student might have issues with from school. I teach in person at my home, or online via Zoom. I do not cover Decision Mathematics at A level.
