I offer engaging, structured lessons designed to help senior school students strengthen subject knowledge, build confidence, and excel in exams. My sessions are one-to-one, either online or in person, and typically last 60–90 minutes. Each lesson begins with a short review of previous material, followed by a focused explanation of new concepts, plenty of practice through guided and independent work, and a clear recap with next steps.

I tailor lessons to each student’s needs, whether that’s mastering the curriculum, preparing for exams, or developing stronger problem-solving skills. I use interactive explanations, real-world examples, and exam-style practice to make learning both relevant and effective. Students are encouraged to think aloud and ask questions so we can quickly identify and address gaps in understanding.

With a PhD in Geology from Birkbeck, University of London and University College London, I bring both academic and teaching experience. I have supervised undergraduate dissertations, taught university-level classes, and run workshops internationally. My professional background as a geoscientist and consultant means I bring practical insights and an applied approach to problem-solving.

Above all, I aim to create a supportive, relaxed learning environment. Mistakes are welcomed as part of the process, and together we work toward building subject mastery, exam readiness, and confidence.
