My lessons are student-led and tailored to exactly what you need help with. At the start, we’ll identify the specific topics you’re struggling with, whether that’s calculus, mechanics, physics, coding, or something else. From there, I structure sessions around clear goals for each lesson.

I typically teach by working through problems together rather than just explaining theory. I’ll guide you step-by-step through examples, then gradually let you take the lead so you build confidence and independence. If you're preparing for exams, we can work through past papers under timed conditions, break down mark schemes, and focus on how to structure answers to maximise marks.

I can also set targeted practice problems between sessions if you’d like, and we’ll review them carefully to identify patterns in mistakes and improve exam technique.

With three years of university-level teaching experience in maths, physics, and engineering alongside my final-year PhD in robotics I understand both the theory and how it’s examined. My goal is not just to help you get the right answer, but to make sure you understand why it’s right.

Sessions are supportive, structured, and focused on building real problem-solving ability.
