Tutoring Experience

My journey began in 2018 as a Maths mentor for Year 11 students preparing for their GCSE exams. From 2019-2020, I delivered in-person lessons for GCSE and A-Level Maths students, focusing on small group instruction. During 2020, I transitioned fully to online tutoring, gaining over 1000 lessons of experience and achieving 150+ 5-star reviews. Since 2021, I have specialised in online Maths tutoring for IGCSE and A-Level students, helping them excel through a highly structured and engaging approach.

Currently, I am pursuing a PGCE in Computer Science, further honing my teaching skills while continuing to deliver top-quality Maths tutoring.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is tailored to IGCSE Maths, focusing on building a deep understanding of key concepts while ensuring exam readiness. Lessons are structured to review fundamentals before moving into targeted practice with exam-style questions. I employ interactive techniques such as quizzes, recap sessions, and detailed solution breakdowns to solidify knowledge and boost confidence. My goal is to create a supportive, question-friendly environment where students feel empowered to master their Maths skills.
