During my lessons, my primary objective is to assist you, the student, in acquiring the fundamental skills and techniques necessary to excel in your academic goals. I strive to make our lessons highly interactive, creating an environment that promotes confidence while we engage in discussions and explore various questions.

I find that a lesson duration of one hour per week is most effective, as this allows enough time to explore topics thoroughly whilst also not overloading you with work. My lessons are tailored towards your needs, whether preparing for GCSE, A-Level, or Mathematics University applications (MAT, STEP, TMUA, etc.) .

Depending on the style of lesson requested, I may begin each session by revising topics and ideas covered in the previous lesson (based on the spaced repetition revision method) to help reinforce the techniques and skills learned which builds up a solid mathematical foundation to work from. We will then progress onto the current topic, starting with what you already know to reaffirm knowledge, and we will then move onto more difficult questions. I will keep pushing you to your full potential and along the way drop useful tips and tricks to help you navigate even the most daunting problems.

I find that the main problems students find at a higher level are a lack of fundamental understanding and an uncertainty as to how to approach more intricate problems where the method(s) required are not explicitly given.

Therefore, my ultimate goal is for you to develop the skills and intuition required to allow you to succeed in whatever mathematical goals you desire.
