Brought up in South West London, I achieved A*A*A*A at A level studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Spanish at The Lady Eleanor Holles School. In 2016, I then went on to study Maths and Physics for just over a year at Durham University, before taking a break from my studies. During this year I began tutoring and did a placement teaching maths at a further education college. In the following break, I worked for a startup in London, alongside working as a live-in tutor for a family in West London. I then returned to University (UCL) with an academic and a sports scholarship and continued tutoring alongside my studies. I graduated in 2021 gaining a 1st class degree in Statistics, Economics and Spanish. Whilst studying, I did an array of tutoring work, including residential and international jobs.

During university, I interned twice for Goldman Sachs in their Private Wealth Management division, where I then started a full time role as a Financial Analyst after graduating. I continued to attempt to balance my training and racing for cycling alongside this intense full-time role. At the end of 2021 I received a contract offer for a team for 2022, so I decided to put this career on hold to pursue cycling for the foreseeable.

Leaving Goldman Sachs at the beginning of December 2021, I then flew out to the Maldives for a month long tutoring job at a Soneva resort.

Outside of academics, I won the Age Group Standard distance European duathlon championships in 2020, and I have since transitioned to focus on cycling. This coming 2022 season, I will be racing for Team Spectra Wiggle p/b Vitus.

My approach is one of enthusiasm and encouragement. Naturally a bubbly character, I find students respond well to a tutor who motivates them and inspires them to achieve the best they can. I tend to focus my sessions around questions, hunting for any knowledge gaps a student may have. We can then work together to fill these gaps and strengthen any weaker areas. My lessons are always energetic and positive, as enjoyment of sessions and the subject we are working together on is what I have found produces the best results and largest improvement.

Alongside tutoring, I am an elite cyclist and race for a team in national and international races. Any time I am not tutoring or out training on my bike, I can often be found in my kitchen, where I will most likely be rolling my own fresh pasta.
