My lessons are structured, personalised and focused on helping students understand the subject properly before moving on to exam technique and practice. I do not believe in simply memorising answers or methods. Instead, I break topics down into clear, manageable steps so that students understand why something works and can apply that knowledge independently.

At the beginning, I identify the student's current level, strengths, weaker areas and academic goals. I then create a tailor-made learning plan around these areas. Lessons usually combine explanation of key concepts, guided practice, independent questions, exam-style work and detailed feedback. As students progress, I introduce more challenging questions and timed practice to build confidence under exam conditions.

For GCSE students, lessons are adapted to their specific exam board, target grade and areas requiring the most improvement. I teach Maths, English Language, English Literature, Biology and Combined Science, with a strong focus on past papers, recurring question types, mark schemes, time management and understanding what examiners are looking for.

For 11+ students, lessons can include Maths, English, comprehension, SPaG, creative writing and verbal reasoning. Preparation is tailored towards the specific grammar or independent schools the student is applying to, as different entrance examinations require different techniques and areas of focus.

I also provide SATs preparation, helping younger students strengthen their Maths and English foundations while becoming comfortable with assessment-style questions.

I am a First-Class BSc Biology graduate, current MBBS medical student and experienced tutor with over five years of teaching experience. I mainly teach students aged 8–16, although suitability depends on the course and student's individual needs.

All lessons are online and can range from 1 to 3 hours. My aim is to make lessons challenging but approachable, build genuine confidence and ensure students know exactly how to turn their knowledge into marks in an exam.
