I am an ex-academic with a passion for teaching. I love helping students achieve their best – it is so rewarding to see them improve and to make sure it's fun and interesting along the way.

Tutoring Approach

I work with students to find the learning style which works best for them, and design lessons and courses around their interests. I am particularly good at helping anxious students learn how to minimise the impact of stress on their learning.
