My sessions focused on targeted revision and exam preparation, with a strong emphasis on building both subject knowledge and exam confidence. One success story involved supporting a GCSE student who initially lacked confidence and was consistently underperforming in mock exams. By breaking down complex topics into manageable steps and guiding them through past exam questions, I helped the student consolidate their understanding, improve their problem-solving skills, and ultimately achieve their desired grade. Equally important, the student reported feeling far more confident and less anxious when tackling challenging questions.

My teaching style is highly adaptable to suit each student’s needs. For Maths, I often use visual explanations such as diagrams and step-by-step worked examples to make abstract concepts like algebra and geometry accessible. I also incorporate regular recap activities to reinforce long-term retention. Above all, I approach tutoring with patience, empathy, and positivity, ensuring that mistakes are treated as valuable learning opportunities. This approach helps students to not only improve academically but also to build resilience and a positive mindset towards their studies.
