Throughout my time at school, I struggled with concentration, feeling heard, and staying motivated. I didn’t always achieve my target grades, but through perseverance and learning how I learn best, I went on to graduate with a 2:1 in English; achieving more than I ever thought I could

As a tutor, I aim to be the support I once needed. I approach lessons with patience, encouragement, and a team mindset, always willing to revisit topics until you feel confident. No topic is too difficult when it’s broken down properly.

I use techniques such as blurting to identify what you already know and highlight areas that need more focus, so we can work strategically and build both understanding and confidenceI focus on making lessons clear, structured, and engaging, while remaining flexible to suit each student’s needs.
I break down complex ideas into manageable steps and use practical examples to make concepts easier to understand and apply.

Lessons are interactive rather than passive, encouraging students to ask questions, explain ideas in their own words, and actively practise skills. I prioritise exam technique, helping students understand how to approach questions, structure responses, and avoid common mistakes. Regular check-ins ensure students feel comfortable and supported, while consistent practice helps build independence over time. My aim is not just to improve grades, but to help students develop effective study habits, critical thinking skills, and confidence in their own learning process

I hope to support you not just academically, but personally in your learning journey. My goal is for you to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing in confidence over time. Together, we’ll work at your pace, build strategies that suit you, and celebrate progress — big or small. I want you to leave each lesson feeling clearer, more confident, and proud of what you’re capable of achieving.
