Growing up as a 'slow student,' I experienced first-hand the challenges of needing extra time to grasp concepts. Despite this, I've evolved into a scholar currently pursuing a PhD in chemical engineering at Imperial College London. This journey has endowed me with a deep understanding of both the struggles of weaker students and the perspective of a teacher.

Empathy drives my teaching approach. Over the past 7 years, I've dedicated myself to teaching science subjects, particularly Chemistry, spanning from primary to university undergraduates. Witnessing students transition from struggling to excelling, and ultimately to achieving scholarly heights, brings me immense joy.

I've honed a tutoring method that utilizes tangible objects and relatable anecdotes to elucidate complex topics. Whether employing a metaphorical image of a horse and its rider or simply using a pen to illustrate the concept of a 'functional group' in Chemistry, I strive to make the material accessible and engaging. My ultimate goal is to seamlessly integrate subjects into students' everyday lives, ensuring they perceive them as tangible and relevant.

In summary, I specialize in bringing subjects to life, bridging the gap between abstract concepts and real-world understanding.
