I am an ex-academic with a passion for teaching. I love helping students achieve their best – it is so rewarding to see them improve and to make sure it's fun and interesting along the way.
I have been tutoring for 21 years. My other teaching experience includes lecturing and supervising at Cambridge and volunteering to teach English in South America.

I work with students to find the learning style which works best for them, and design lessons and courses around their interests. I am particularly good at helping anxious students learn how to minimise the impact of stress on their learning.
