What my lessons are like:
My lessons are structured, interactive, and personalised to each student’s level and goals. I begin by identifying what the student is struggling with, then break topics down into simple, step-by-step explanations. We work through practice questions together, build exam techniques, and develop strong problem-solving skills. I use a mix of short concept reviews, worked examples, active practice, and exam-style questions to ensure students truly understand the material—not just memorise it. I also provide summary notes, tips, and follow-up practice when needed.

Lesson format:
- Quick review of previous content
- Clear explanation of new concepts
- Guided examples
- Independent practice with support
- Recap and personalised feedback

My experience:
I previously founded and led my school’s IGCSE Help Centre, tutoring maths and chemistry and supporting students of different abilities. I am now a BSc Chemistry student at the University of St Andrews with strong academic and practical experience, which allows me to explain concepts with clarity and real-world examples.

Overall, my lessons are supportive, well-organised, and focused on helping students feel confident and prepared for exams.
