Olivia

I’m Olivia, currently on a gap year and working as a laboratory technician and science/maths tutor. Next year, I will be studying Physical Natural Sciences at Cambridge, focusing on Physics, Chemistry, and Material Science in my first year. I am eager to support students up to KS4.

Tutoring Experience

I have experience in both one-to-one tutoring and teaching in larger groups. I volunteered as a MESME maths tutor, delivering weekly enrichment lessons to Year 7 students. Having recently completed my GCSEs and A-levels, I am well aware of the common mistakes students make and can provide targeted advice, particularly for exam preparation.

Tutoring Approach

I am highly flexible in my teaching approach, tailoring each lesson to the student’s individual needs and preferences. For example, some students prefer structured lessons where we work through a specification together, completing my carefully crafted worksheets to ensure full competency in exam-style questions while also deepening their understanding. Others prefer a more interactive approach, such as watching me tackle complex problems, receiving exam feedback, or asking me to explain challenging concepts—some even choose to learn ahead of their syllabus!
