“I have taught and tutored Maths and Physics for 15 years and Computer Science for the last five years, working across a wide range of settings from state and independent schools in the UK to British international schools in Spain and Thailand. I believe all students want to succeed, but many simply need guidance with the skills and methods needed to achieve their full potential. This is where my experience as a teacher, former head of department and examiner for two exam boards adds great value to our tutoring sessions. I have also prepared students for entrance exams at 11+, 13+ and 16+ and as an Oxford alumni myself, I have also helped with application and interview preparation for Oxbridge candidates. Outside of teaching and tutoring, I love to travel and have visited over 60 countries, with a few more still on my bucket list!”

“I have been teaching chemistry for over 30 years, with most of that time as head of department in a large mixed secondary school. I am very familiar with the AQA, OCR and Edexcel exam boards and also have a lot of experience preparing students for tests beyond A Level such as the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge and the RSC Chemistry Olympiad. For several years I was part of the AQA A Level practical exam writing team. As a sixth form tutor I helped countless students with their UCAS applications and am more than happy to give advice on the writing of personal statements, particularly those for medicine and other courses that require science A Levels. I put a lot of effort into preparing individual lessons for my tutees and welcome the opportunity to set and assess extra work for my students if so desired. I have a huge bank of resources gathered over my teaching career to help students understand and revise this challenging subject. I absolutely love teaching chemistry and see it as a privilege to be able to work alongside students to allow them to gain the confidence and skills necessary to achieve their own success. ”

“Following completion of my PGCE, I taught across a range of secondary schools in London, spanning both the state and independent sectors. More recently, I have gained extensive experience lecturing undergraduate and postgraduate students at King’s College London, and I am currently completing a PhD in Cardiovascular Biochemistry. Alongside my ongoing commitment to tutoring Biology and Chemistry at GCSE, A level, and IB, including preparation for admissions examinations and interviews, I have a strong interest in advancing digital literacy within secondary and higher education. Beyond academia, you’ll find me playing the piano and reviewing London’s restaurants.”
