Hello all! For the past eight years I have been working as a maths and science tutor and as a professional musician in the UK folk scene. I love helping students of all ages and abilities become comfortable and gain confidence with the topics I teach.

Tutoring Experience

To date I have worked primarily using Singapore Maths - this method is a highly I started tutoring first through small independent tuition companies in and around London, and now I am teaching full time to students who want to better their mathematical comprehension, and understanding of the sciences, up to GCSE and A level.

I balance this with being a professional musician and keen learner of all things Mathematics. In 2017 I completed a Certificate in Higher Education in Mathematics and Physics with a distinction at Birkbeck University, and hope to apply to do a Mathematics degree at the Open University in the coming years.

Tutoring Approach

The two most important things for me as a tutor is keeping lessons fun and informative. There is absolutely no reason why learning should be a painful process! My lessons are primarily student-led; the momentum and the direction of the lessons are tailored to the individual learning abilities and needs of the student. Visual and auditory learning abilities differ in each individual - and this must be taken into account

Just like in Singapore Maths, my approach teaches fewer topics in greater depth which focuses on problem-solving skills, rather than mental arithmetic. It’s not effective to just learn equations to reach an answer, but one must learn how the equation works. Understanding comes before knowledge, and this is true for all the topics we learn in school.
