Hi, I am a medical student with a strong academic background and a passion for helping students succeed in science. I achieved an A*AA at A level and top GCSE grades including six grade 9s (A**). Through my medical studies, I apply my scientific knowledge daily, giving me a deep understanding of both chemistry and biology and how they relate to real-world topics. I've supported students from a range of academic backgrounds in biology and chemistry helping them improve their confidence, strengthen their subject knowledge, and achieve excellent results - including increases in predicted grades. I work to create a friendly, non-judgmental space where students feel comfortable to ask questions and truly engage with the subject. I am a friendly, organised, and enthusiastic tutor who is deeply committed to helping students reach their full potential. I find it incredibly rewarding to help students break through challenges and develop a real understanding of science - and that enthusiasm drives me to go above and beyond in every session.

My tutoring style is calm, supportive and tailored to each student's individual needs. I am familiar with all major UK exam boards (most familiar with AQA) and can help strengthen subject knowledge, refine exam technique, and help students approach assessments with confidence.
A typical session:
1) Quick recap - A short recap of the previous lesson to reinforce previous material before moving into the main topic.
2) Focused learning - Breaking down the chosen content into manageable chunks, paced to suit the student and ensure deep understanding, not just memorisation.
3) Exam practice - Targeted exam questions to build understanding, confidence, and exam technique. This also helps me to assess student progress over time.
