4About Me
I hold a degree in Philosophy and Theology from the University of Oxford, along with a commendation in the Graduate Diploma in Law and a distinction in the combined LPC and MSc in Law, Business, and Management.
Having successfully completed my legal conversion, I am now pursuing a career in commercial law. However, my passion for teaching remains strong, and I am eager to engage with students across Religion, Philosophy, and Law. I have been fortunate to learn from exceptional teachers and understand the profound impact they can have. I strive to support my students in the same way, fostering both their confidence and curiosity.
With five years worth of experience tutoring GCSE and A-level students, as well as supporting university admissions, I am confident in my ability to guide and inspire students effectively.
Hobbies include: reading, yoga, tennis, cricket, exhibitions.
My teaching style
I take a flexible approach to lesson planning, ensuring each session is tailored to the student’s needs. Committed to my role as an educator, I bring warmth, openness, and patience to my teaching. My experience spans a diverse range of students, from quiet to highly talkative, fostering success in every learning style. I break down complex ideas into simple, relatable concepts and encourage critical thinking through questions and discussions. Whether through structured guidance or open-ended exploration, I aim to make learning enjoyable and effective.
My Proudest Achievements
Academic success; engagement with not-for-profit organisation to help underrepresented young women gain industry experience; and pro-bono experience.
