Forget everything you think you know about tutoring sessions! My lessons are dynamic, engaging, and completely tailored to how YOU learn best.
The First Session
We start with a proper chat - I want to understand your goals, your current struggles, and what's worked (or hasn't worked) for you before. Then we'll dive straight into a past paper question together so I can see your natural approach...

The First Session
We start with a proper chat - I want to understand your goals, your current struggles, and what's worked (or hasn't worked) for you before. Then we'll dive straight into a past paper question together so I can see your natural approach and identify exactly where we can make the biggest impact.
My Teaching Style
For English Literature & Language: We'll explore how themes in texts connect to your own life and experiences, but also dive far beyond the surface level. Studying Jekyll and Hyde? We won't just discuss the plot - we'll explore what Stevenson is really saying about human nature, Victorian society's moral constraints, and whether true evil exists or if it's created by repression. Analysing persuasive writing? We'll look at how you use persuasion in everyday situations. Drawing from my Cambridge experience, I use a supervision-style approach - I'll ask probing questions that make you think deeper, review your essays with constructive feedback, and help you truly grasp those key concepts that examiners love to see.
For Maths: I don't just explain the theory - I show you exactly how to apply it. We'll work through the concept step-by-step, then immediately practice with real past exam questions so you can see the theory in action. This way, you're not just memorizing formulas - you're understanding when and how to use them under exam pressure.
Lesson Structure That Works
Warm-up (5 mins): Quick review of last week + any burning questions
New content (25 mins): Learning new concepts through interactive discussion and examples
Practice together (20 mins): Tackling exam questions with my step-by-step guidance
Your turn (10 mins): You try questions independently while I'm there for support
What Makes It Different
Every lesson adapts to you. Visual learner? We'll use mind maps and diagrams. Need to talk through ideas? We'll debate and discuss. Prefer structured notes? I've got templates that work. I also believe in celebrating progress - however small - because confidence is everything in exams.
Beyond Our Sessions
You'll never feel stuck between lessons. I provide personalized resources, practice questions, and quick feedback via message. Think of me as your academic support system, not just your weekly tutor.
