Supportive, tailored learning for success:

My teaching approach is rooted in the belief that every student can thrive when they are supported, understood, and given the tools that work best for them. I am dedicated to helping students overcome the obstacles they face in their academic life by first getting to know them as individuals. This includes understanding not only their academic strengths and weaknesses but also the mental or motivational hurdles that may be holding them back.

I recognise the pressures students face, whether that’s meeting grade targets, preparing for exams, or simply staying motivated and I believe working collaboratively is the best way to address these challenges. I am happy to co-create study plans and techniques that suit the student’s learning style, schedule, and personal goals. With a strong academic background, I can also provide direct support by reviewing current assignments or topics and walking students through effective approaches to tackling questions and problem-solving.

I place equal importance on wellbeing as I do on academic achievement. Having personally experienced and benefited from wellbeing support during my studies, I know how valuable it is in building resilience, confidence, and a positive mindset. My aim is not only to help students succeed academically but also to equip them with the skills to become independent, confident learners who can carry these abilities into university and their future careers.

Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe, encouraging environment where students feel listened to, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
