About Me
I am a psychology University Graduate and I absolutely love my subject! Exploring the intricacies of the human mind is not just my academic background—it’s my lifelong fascination! I thrive on making the complex simple, ensuring that no topic is too challenging to conquer.
Whether you’re diving into the mysteries of psychology, learning a new language, or tackling the beauty of mathematics, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Learning is a journey, and I’m here to make it enjoyable, engaging, and tailored to your needs. I know that sometimes it can get a bit tricky to get a topic straight away but that’s what I’m here for.
Your success is my priority, and I am committed to providing the support and guidance needed to help you achieve your goals.
I can’t wait to meet you and I will do my best to help you will succeed in all your goals.
My teaching style
You are at the centre of every lesson. Unlike a school classroom, during tutoring you are the one dictating the pace of the lesson. It’s a safe space to ask any and all questions, and to take learning at your own pace.
My past experience
I am a qualified teacher of mathematics and teacher of English as a Second Langauge, with teaching experience in a south London secondary school and private school of English. I have over 1000h of lessons delivered, and over four years of Tutoring experience with more than one tutoring agency, as well as private clients. I teach both Key Stage 3 and 4 students, as well as higher education students in all GCSE curriculums of Maths. In addition to school subjects, I also tutor and mentor at university level in Psychology, as well as IB and A-level Psychology.
My Proudest Achievements
I had a student once, who really struggled in the maths classroom; maths was scary, and a reason for much worry. But I did not let that stop him enjoy maths – thorugh patient mentoring, they were able to return to the classroom with a hopeful attitude, approaching the subject with fresh new eyes!
