I remember the day I decided I was going to get a maths tutor. I was studying A-level maths very early on in the syllabus trying to figure out a question in the C1 Edexcel textbook. God only knows how long I stared at it for, I don't know the details of the question, what about it that was confusing me so much but what I remember the most is the visceral frustration I was experiencing at that point. You see, it wasn't only that question but my journey for a long time was filled with the inability to get it. Some things I understood here but over there I just couldn't connect the dots. And I had it. Looking back now, I guess I felt that away because at the end of the day I really wanted to be good at this thing, to excel at this thing, to ride it like a surfer rides a wave. Thats when I phoned my friend up who had told me about a tutor who frequently taught at him and his younger siblings. That woman changed my life. It took a few months to get into the swing of things, like the first few months going to the gym where it would take a few months to realise something feels different. You feel stronger, quicker, more agile. At that point I never let the momentum drop and achieved 100 percent in C1, C2 and 99 percent in C3. I took the rest of my exams early and finished with an A* overall.

Tutoring Experience

Upon completing my A-levels I tutored at a tuition centre under my tutor where I taught from one-to-one up to classes of 15 from year 8 to year 13. After starting university I began to tutor at a much lower frequency and on an on-and-off basis. Now that I've graduated, I wish to dedicate more time helping students achieve A's and A stars again.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is simple and effective. One that I used when I myself was a tutee, one that led to me achieving full marks in core maths A-level exams. Identifying where the difficulties are, take it one step back, practice questions relentlessly to build mathematical quickness and sharpness. This also subconsciously builds our mathematical intuition. At this point we naturally move onto more challenging questions and build upon our firm foundations and continuously supersede our mathematical intuition, sharpness and speed. At all steps of the way I'll be there to guide you just as I was guided by my tutor.
