I am a qualified teacher, and spent 6 years in the classroom, 5 of which were as a Head of Department. I have been tutoring since my university days in 2006, and have a track record of helping students to achieve or exceed their target grades in the GCSE and A- Level exams. I have a passion for helping others to succeed, and understand that my success and - more importantly - that of my students are fully aligned. I take a positive approach to tuition, always looking to relate difficult concepts to real world scenarios to bring them to life and show how they can be applied. I also have a decade of industry experience in professional services which allows me to provide real world examples to help bring problems to life.

Every student is different with their own learning styles - I adapt to the needs of the individual student. Always taking a positive approach, I work in a collaborative way with students so that they achieve their potential and feel a sense of accomplishment. Sometimes large topics or difficult concepts just need broken down into smaller steps or component parts - by taking each at a time, students will build up their knowledge and develop confidence to tackle any questions by following a methodical approach. After working together, not only will your subject knowledge have improved, but you will have developed in confidence and feel able to smash your exams. All done with good humour!

Outside work, my main interests are travel and taking my bike around the Cotswolds.
