I've always really enjoyed helping others with Mathematics. It started with my friends at school, then later on at the University in Chicago, where I proudly worked as a qualified tutor, and now as one of London’s go to tutors , helping students elevate their confidence and results (Common Entrance, GCSEs, A-levels).

I did my Bachelor’s degree of Mathematics at University Paris-Saclay (the 16th best university in Mathematics in the world), then went on to do a Masters degree of Mathematics, Cryptography and Communications at Royal Holloway. I have two certifications from Educare in “Child Protection in Education” & “The Prevent Duty”.

Beyond my love for mathematics, I'm also very musical. I sing and write songs on my guitar, a skill that helps me connect with students.

Tutoring Experience

After tutoring at school and completing my Master's degree, I joined the French School of London as an Educational Assistant for two years. Following that, I became a Maths Coach at Hereward House, an esteemed London school. I'm proud to continue my work there. In 2019, I started helping students with dyslexia, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia at the Hampstead Dyslexia Clinic, an ongoing commitment. I also collaborate with independent agencies of London.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is simple: I customize my support for each student. I listen carefully to identify their strengths and weaknesses as we go through exercises. I adapt my explanations based on the student's personality and intelligence, making complex problems understandable. I maintain detailed notes of their progress, and I make sure that what was taught the previous week is reinforced through homework.

I'm ready to invest extra time, even off the clock, to explain concepts thoroughly. Confidence is key – it not only leads to good grades but also a sense of accomplishment.

Staying in touch with parents and communicating constantly is very important to me. I aim to keep everyone informed and content with the ongoing progress. Your child's success and well-being are my top priorities.
