The most underrated device to succeeding in your exams in the technique with which you approach it. How you manage your time, how you can pick up marks despite being totally stuck on a question, how you can turn the time pressure into an advantage. Examinations and assessments are not a knowledge game; success in them is measured on the understanding of the mark schemes, understanding what the examiner is looking for, and how to use these to obtain marks easily. My tutoring sessions have a great focus, along with the teaching of concepts and baseline knowledge, on these aspects.

My sessions are one-on-one and split into two sections. The first section will be focused on content, ensuring you have the knowledge and the understanding necessary to tackle the concepts. The second section is focused on consolidating this knowledge through practice, where we will also maintain a focus on exam technique and skills, a factor which most tutors overlook. With my specialised one-on-one tutoring, I provide reports, followed by acute refinement of abilities which students can use not only in the subject I teach, but across all exams and assessments they might sit in the future.

I cater to all ages and abilities up to GCSE, and as a scholar who obtained straight 9s in his GCSEs, I am in a unique position to give insight and advice on the framework and structure any GCSE candidate needs to not only succeed, but exceed their expectations. I will help you go above and beyond you academic potential.
