I'm a first class graduate with a degree in Neuroscience from the University of Manchester. I'm now currently living in London and looking to help any students struggling with Maths at a GCSE level or below. At school I achieved three A* grades at A-level, including Maths, as well as an A in AS Further Mathematics. I remember how frustrating it could be when difficult topics weren’t explained clearly or when teachers didn’t have the time to go through things with patience. Because of this, I think it’s important to explain concepts in a clear and supportive way, especially when students are struggling with particular areas. I believe difficult maths topics are best tackled through targeted practice. I also place a strong focus on exam technique, helping students understand how to approach different types of questions and avoid common mistakes. By working through past paper questions that focus on the specific areas a student finds challenging, they gradually recognise the common methods and formulas that appear across different problems. My main goal is to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing their skills at their own pace. Over time, this helps them gain confidence in maths and approach exams with a clearer strategy and greater self-assurance. I am happy to adapt my teaching style depending on the student’s needs and learning pace, as everyone is different in how they learn and retain new information. There is no such thing as a stupid question!
