With a strong foundation in geological sciences, climate studies, and environmental sustainability, I am driven by a desire to make a positive impact on our understanding of the Earth and its processes. I thrive on simplifying complex concepts into accessible knowledge, making learning both engaging and effective for students.

As an experienced Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, I’ve enjoyed mentoring students and helping them navigate challenging coursework. My approach is hands-on, supportive, and tailored to individual learning styles, whether simplifying difficult geological concepts, offering memorization techniques, or guiding students through the process of writing top-notch reports and personal statements.

Beyond academics, I am committed to helping students achieve their goals, including gaining confidence in their university applications and preparing for a successful future in higher education. My passion for teaching, combined with my expertise in geology and environmental science, allows me to support and inspire the next generation of learners and professionals.

Tutoring Experience

I am an MSci Geology graduate from Imperial College London with First Class Honours, and I have gained significant teaching experience during my time as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant at Imperial. In this role, I taught subjects including geology, geography, climate science, and environmental science, helping students grasp complex concepts and develop a strong understanding of the material. I also provided guidance on report writing and dissertation preparation, focusing on strategies to achieve top marks. My experience includes mentoring students through challenging coursework, offering support, and helping them build the skills needed for academic success. In addition, I can help write personal statements and prep for interviews for top universities such as Imperial College London, Oxford and Cambridge.

Tutoring Approach

I believe in adapting my methods to accommodate different learning styles, ensuring that each student can grasp the material in a way that works best for them. I excel at simplifying complex geological concepts, breaking them down into easy-to-understand explanations that make the subject more approachable. Additionally, I provide effective memorisation techniques to help students retain information more efficiently, which is particularly useful in subjects that require a strong command of detailed knowledge.

Beyond academic instruction, I also assist students with writing personal statements and preparing for university applications. I help them articulate their strengths and aspirations clearly, boosting their confidence in their ability to gain admission to top universities. My goal is to not only improve their understanding of the subject matter but also to empower them to succeed in their academic and professional journeys.
