Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is highly personalized, aiming to build both deep understanding and lasting confidence in each student. I focus on developing strong conceptual foundations, using real-world examples and problem-solving strategies to make complex topics more accessible. Whether it's A-level Maths and Physics or university-level topics in theoretical physics and computer science, I adapt my teaching style to suit each learner’s needs and goals. I encourage active engagement through questions, interactive problem-solving, and practical applications, often integrating coding or visual tools where helpful. My goal is not just to help students succeed in exams, but to spark genuine interest and independent thinking in STEM subjects.
