Tutor Information

About

Over the last decade, since graduating from Cambridge with an MSci in Natural Sciences, I have worked as a classroom science teacher, a private educator and a university and schools consultant in Monaco, Dubai, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA. Throughout this time I have worked with students as young as 5, all the way up to MBA students. Although I'm passionate about sharing my love for all aspects of STEM, my primary focus has been on math(s), physics, chemistry, and biology tutoring for students up to the age of 18. That being said, I consider myself to be a STEM communicator as much as a teacher, and over the last decade I have had the privilege of leading students through lessons on pretty much any topic imaginable. My goal is to meet each of my students on their own terms and impart a deep appreciation and understanding of the topic at hand. To begin with we'll spend time discussing your personal aims and assessing your problem areas, then come up with specific plans to address each of these in turn. I strongly believe that students learn best when they are relaxed and enjoying themselves, so I strive to make my classroom a positive environment where you won’t be afraid to make educated guesses or get the answer wrong. In general, we will begin each topic by discussing the themes and ideas behind it, before going over some related questions together. Once you’re feeling more confident, I’ll then set you some work to try on your own. I try to cover most of the necessary work in class, but I can also provide extra work to be done in your own time, if required. I am very aware that everyone learns differently and understands concepts in their own way, so I adapt my techniques to fit each individual. What I can guarantee is that in each lesson we will work together to address and understand concepts in a way that makes sense to you. Get in touch so we can go over your learning style, get to know each other and discuss the best way to help you reach your goals.
