About Me

I’m an optometry student at Anglia Ruskin University, currently pursuing an Integrated Masters in Optometry. My journey in optometry has given me a solid foundation in both clinical and academic skills, allowing me to not only excel in my studies but also connect with others who are passionate about eye health and patient care. As President of the Optics Society, I’m dedicated to creating a supportive environment for my peers, organizing events like mock OSCEs, study sessions, and webinars. My focus is always on fostering a sense of community, where everyone feels encouraged to learn and grow together.

Alongside my optometry studies, I’m also a seasoned English tutor for GCSE-level students, specialising in language and literature. I believe in making learning enjoyable and accessible for all students, adapting my lessons to suit each individual’s learning style and goals. Whether it’s strengthening grammar skills, enhancing reading comprehension, or building confidence in essay writing, I work to ensure that students feel supported and motivated. My students know they can rely on me to make even challenging topics approachable and engaging, as I’m patient, approachable, and genuinely committed to their success.

I am passionate about both optometry and teaching, and I take pride in my ability to build a positive rapport with students and their families. Whether you’re looking for someone to guide you through the path to optometry or to provide support in English, I’m here to make a difference. With my experience, dedication, and personable approach, I’m excited to help students reach their fullest potential.

My teaching style

My teaching style is centred on a thorough and structured approach. For science-based content, I prioritise clear explanations and reinforce concepts through repetition to ensure a strong foundational understanding. In English, I emphasise analysing and breaking down a range of exam question types, preparing students to approach each one confidently. Together, we annotate texts from various perspectives, honing their ability to understand complex themes. My focus on exam technique helps students understand the precise language and key techniques needed for high grades, making each session targeted and effective.

My past experience

I have a solid background in tutoring, having successfully guided several students through both English and A-level Biology. In English, I’ve helped students strengthen their exam technique, taking their grades from 6s to 9s by focusing on analysing texts, understanding exam questions, and using precise language that earns top marks. For Biology, I’ve broken down complex concepts into digestible parts, ensuring students fully understand challenging material. My sessions emphasise not only comprehension but also the practical application of knowledge, which has led to improved performance and confidence in exams.

My Proudest Achievements

Leadership in Optics Society: As President of the Optics Society, I have successfully organised events like mock OSCEs, networking sessions, and the Eyeball, creating a supportive and engaging community for my peers.
Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award: Completing my Gold DofE, which included attending the awards ceremony at Buckingham Palace and participating in the expedition, showcased your resilience, leadership, and commitment to personal growth.
Developing Clinical Skills: My hands-on experience in optometry, from pre-testing patients to frame dispensing, has given me strong clinical competence and a deep passion for patient care.
