My teaching focuses on developing genuine understanding of the underlying mathematics rather than simply memorising methods to apply in the exam. I attempt to help students discover why ideas work, often by presenting concepts from different perspectives. In my experience, this not only leads to stronger results and better problem-solving skills, but also helps to make the process of learning mathematics more enjoyable.

I am probably best suited to students aiming for top GCSE or A level grades, especially those studying or considering further maths A level, MAT/TMUA preparation, or even university maths more generally.

That said, I am equally happy to work with students whose primary goal is simply to improve confidence, strengthen the basics, or secure a pass. I will adapt my lessons to the individual student's level and goals.

A typical lesson might include:
- Building deep conceptual understanding of a topic
- Exploring multiple approaches to problems
- Developing problem-solving skills
- Working through challenging or unfamiliar questions

I teach:
- GCSE Maths
- GCSE Further Maths
- A-Level Maths
- A-Level Further Maths

I recently completed my first year studying Mathematics at University of Bristol, after achieving 4 A*s at A-Level in Maths, Further Maths, Physics, and Music. My own interests in mathematics are particularly in pure mathematics, and I enjoy sharing some of the deeper structure and elegance behind the subject wherever appropriate.
