    Teaching style and philosophy

    I am a patient, adaptable, and confident Oxford University Masters student with over 5 years of teaching and tutoring experience in Business Studies, French, Geography, Maths, English, and Chemistry. I am determined and ambitious for the students I work with, having supported many pupils to reach their full academic potential and achieve the grades they deserve. If necessary, I have the training to support students who suffer from anxiety and issues surrounding self-confidence, and I am always committed to providing a tutoring experience that is aligned with the student’s personal needs and motivations. I recognise that different students learn in different ways, and as an outstanding tutor I am able to adjust my approach based on each student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences. I will only work with students when I am sure I have a deep enough understanding of the relevant curriculum and syllabuses, meaning I can explain concepts clearly and thoroughly to students and easily identify where students are having problems.

    Please outline any other relevant career experience or hobbies, and where you are based and willing to teach:

    Beside tutoring, I am a keen rower, singer and I enjoy weekly sessions supporting young people who have recently left prison to get back into education and employment. My preference is for online tutoring. I am based in Oxford and will happily tutor in-person around the city, and I am willing to travel further afield for the right client.
