I am a Year 13 student studying Maths, Further Maths, Economics, and Computer Science at A Level with current predicted grades of 4 A*s. I have been teaching for over one year across the board-from 4-year-olds to GCSE students-and have built a record of assisting students to make radical improvements not just in grades but also confidence.

Having excelled in GCSEs and leading the pack in A Levels now, I exactly know what it takes to help you do well at all levels. I have perfected effective revision techniques and studying techniques through years of direct experience and have successfully improvised these techniques to suit diversified learning styles and age groups.

My approach is more than simply covering content—creating true understanding while creating the study habits and test tactics which truly pay off. Students consistently report not only improved grades, but also increased confidence and an improved ability to learn effectively.

I am excited about helping other students achieve their academic goals through the methods that have proven effective for me personally and for the many students with whom I've already assisted in achieving their success.

Evidence based Learning Strategies:

Spaced Repetition: We shall cover significant concepts at concentrated intervals such that they are stored in the long term and comprehended deeper
Active Recall: I shall lead you through memory-based practice that strengthens your ability to recall information under test conditions
Past Paper Mastery: Thorough practice with real exam questions such that you become accustomed to question types and gain consistent application of knowledge
Teach-Back Method: You will teach me back concepts—the ideal way to identify gaps and solidify knowledge

Lesson Structure - Follows Your Needs:
Adaptive Scheduling: Lessons arranged around your schedule, e.g., weeknights and weekends
Structured Progression: Complex material broken down into manageable chunks with clear learning objectives for each session
Tailored Content: Lessons built around your personal strengths, weaknesses, and learning style
Goal-Oriented Planning: Clear goals set together to keep you focused and motivated

Ongoing Support, Beyond the Lesson:

Continuous Availability: Email and message support between lessons to respond to quick queries or request clarification
Varied Resources: Integration of textbooks, interactive online materials, and customized resources to provide a range of learning options
Progress Monitoring: Targeted feedback at the end of each lesson with clear next steps and improvement areas
Regular Assessment: Regular checks to track progress and adjust our approach as needed

What makes me different: Having recently completed the same curriculum myself, I understand where students get stuck and can anticipate areas that will trip them up ahead of time.
