My sessions are relaxed, collaborative, and built around you. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all teaching – instead, I take time to understand how you learn best, what interests you, and what's getting in your way.
First Session: We'll chat about your goals, challenges, and what success looks like for you. This isn't interrogation – it's a conversation where I get to know you as a person, not just a student. We'll identify any blocks (whether that's confidence, organization, perfectionism, or something else) and create a plan that actually works for your life.
Ongoing Sessions: Each lesson is tailored to what you need that week. Sometimes we'll tackle specific subject content, other times we'll focus on study skills, time management, or dealing with exam stress. I use a mix of explanation, practice, real-world examples, and practical tools you can use independently.
My Approach: I draw on 10+ years of teaching experience, including working with students who struggle in traditional classrooms. I also bring mindfulness and wellbeing coaching into sessions – helping you manage anxiety, build confidence, and develop resilience. My background includes achieving the highest A Level results in my school by focusing on student wellbeing alongside academic content.
What Makes My Sessions Different: I create a judgment-free space where mistakes are learning opportunities. I'm honest, approachable, and genuinely invested in your progress. Students often tell me they feel heard and understood, sometimes for the first time in their educational journey.
Together, we'll find what works for you.
