Hello :)

I believe science should be fun for everyone. Science and Maths gives us ways to question and explore our world, and I like to help students feel like they are the ones making the breakthroughs in their learning.

I personally enjoy learning about the human body, which led me to studying my degree in Biomedical Science. But in my 10 years experience delivering science workshops and after-school clubs, I’ve covered a wide range of science and maths topics, and made them engaging through fun and hands-on activities.

Tutoring Experience

I’ve worked with a small educational charity for the past 10 years, working with thousands of young people, delivering STEM workshops with school groups and facilitating community after-school clubs and events. My role was to create, deliver and develop innovative, creative, and engaging STEM activities, particularly aimed at supporting more hands-on and enquiry-based learning in schools.

I’ve previously tutored children and young people in Mathematics and Science at KS2, KS3, GCSE and A level, privately and in community after-school clubs. I’ve worked with students from diverse backgrounds and students with English as a second language.

Tutoring Approach

I have a patient, friendly and positive approach when working with young people, and I’m proactive in finding opportunities to link learning to the real world.
I usually visit students at their homes, but online sessions are also available. I'm comfortable around pets.

I’m committed to supporting and facilitating young people’s learning in a way that best suits them. I encourage students to have a growth mindset - everyone’ abilities can be developed through learning from our mistakes, embracing challenges and developing our knowledge through practice.
