I’m a passionate tutor with a strong academic background and a love for maths, physics and music—subjects that fuel my curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving mindset. I bring that same enthusiasm into my teaching, aiming not just to help students succeed in exams but to genuinely enjoy the learning process and think independently.

My lessons are strategic, focused, and tailored to each student. I believe in working smart—not just hard—so I teach students how to approach problems methodically, manage their time effectively, and recognise patterns in questions. I prioritise deep understanding over rote learning, which helps students apply knowledge flexibly, even in unfamiliar scenarios.

I often go beyond the syllabus to spark interest and provide context, especially in subjects like physics, where real-world applications can inspire curiosity and motivation. I also incorporate relevant content from university-level topics or recent discoveries when appropriate, to enrich the learning experience and broaden students’ perspectives. I encourage students to ask “why,” not just “how,” and build the confidence to tackle problems on their own. This kind of critical thinking is valuable far beyond the classroom.

Lessons are interactive and responsive—I adapt in real time to the student’s pace and needs. I also help students develop revision plans, identify weak points efficiently, and make measurable progress every session. Where relevant, I incorporate insights from my own studies in music and physics to show the surprising connections across disciplines.

If you’re looking for a tutor who can help you think smarter, aim higher, and enjoy learning, I’d love to work with you.
