I am a graduate from Cambridge University in July 2019 with a 2:1 in Human, Social and Political Sciences (Sociology). I am available to tutor a range of subjects across different levels from primary school to university.
My aim is to try and help students achieve their full potential, not only in academic results but also in their individual personal development and fulfilment. I strive to be encouraging and positive in my teaching and and in general as I believe that a supportive atmosphere in one-to-one tutoring is essential in helping students to enjoy their learning as well as filling in any gaps of knowledge and understanding that can slip under the radar in a classroom environment.
I fully understand how stressful the exams and admissions processes can be and believe that my experience in these areas allows me help both in formal preparation and in gaining confidence and a positive mindset that are so essential to success.
