My Passion & How I Inspire

Private tuition is the perfect opportunity to have a face to face discussion with someone who loves and lives their subject.

I teach the essential exam technique and key information using relevant and interesting examples, imaginative exercises and lots of discussion. I want my students to leave not only feeling equipped to take an exam, but with a lasting curiosity and appreciation of the subject. I like to hone in on the area that the student is having difficulty with and make sure they fully grasp that before moving on to another topic. It’s a wonderful feeling watching the confidence of a student rocket as they master something that the week before was the reason they dismissed the whole subject.

My belief is that achieving good grades is far easier when you enjoy the subject!
