Tutoring Experience

I have over 6 years of tutoring experience, both online and in-person, with a strong focus on ESAT preparation, particularly over the past couple of years. The majority of my teaching involves one-to-one sessions, though I’ve also facilitated small-group lessons. I’ve worked with students across a wide range of ages and abilities, but my recent work has been primarily focused on supporting students preparing for ESAT and other STEM admissions tests, alongside GCSE and A Level Maths and Science.

I’ve worked with dozens of individual students, many on a long-term basis (6 months+), helping them build strong problem-solving skills and exam technique. In addition, I have mentored many students for university applications, with sessions focusing on ESAT preparation, personal statements, and mock interviews for competitive STEM courses at top universities.

Tutoring Approach

I collaborate with my students to enhance their skills, offering a stand-out tutoring service rooted in my robust academic background.

My aim is to bolster my students' confidence through teaching that fosters a positive, can-do attitude towards schoolwork. Recognizing that learning is highly individual, I adapt my teaching approach based on the age and unique learning style of each student. I strive to swiftly pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses within a subject. For GCSE and A Level students, I provide exam preparation through revision guidance and past paper questions, reinforcing content knowledge and bolstering confidence.

When it comes to university applications, I mentor and guide students throughout the application process – from crafting personal statements to preparing for admissions assessments and interviews. I find tutoring immensely rewarding and take great joy in watching my students thrive and progress.
