I use applied learning techniques when teaching so that students not only get to understand difficult concepts in an accessible way, but so that the content that they're learning feels relevant and engaging. I also love to take advantage of new technology to assist my explanations and demonstrations, particularly when teaching online.

My most recent teaching experience involved teaching children from under-privileged backgrounds music production as part of a wider summer programme being run by a local arts organisation. Most of the children in attendance had never had access to music production facilities, and all of them walked away with a skillset that could be career defining for them. Not only was this incredibly rewarding for me as a tutor, the children found it extremely rewarding and beneficial because they come from backgrounds where they would not usually have access to this sort of extra-curricular education.

I performed exceptionally academically as a student, leaving sixth form with three A* grades at A level (including in Mathematics) and ten '9' grades at GCSE (including in Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science)
