I have delivered over 1000 hours of 1:1 tutoring, as well as running multiple Keystone courses. I specialise in Maths, particularly GCSE, A-Level and IB, as well as preparation for Oxbridge interviews and assessments. I also have experience in supporting university students both with Pure Mathematics and Actuarial Science.

In addition, I love to teach financial literacy courses. This not only provides children with essential life skills, but the courses are also an excellent demonstration of some of the practical uses of Maths. My students are particularly impressed when we apply compound interest to their future savings and investments!

Prior to teaching, I spent 10 years in the City working as an Actuary. This involved using Maths on a daily basis to analyse and understand financial risks. It required critical thinking, strong problem-solving skills and, most importantly, the ability to explain one’s findings to audiences with varying technical backgrounds. My City career is a great example of the power of Maths and I always strive to show my students just how far-reaching the subject is.

I attended James Allen’s Girls’ School in South East London where I enjoyed studying a wide range of subjects. This led me to take the slightly unusual combination of Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and German at A-Level, as well as an AS-Level in Biology. I achieved top grades in all my subjects but I was particularly drawn to Maths and decided to continue my studies in the subject at Merton College, Oxford.

After finishing my Masters in Maths I started a career in the City and qualified as an Actuary. I worked for almost 10 years in the life insurance industry, specialising in investment strategy. Whilst my time in the City was challenging and rewarding, I realised that my real passion is in education and so I decided to start a new career with Keystone as a Professional Tutor.

“We would like to thank you for all your help and outstanding level of teaching. [X] enjoyed every single lesson and learned so much from you. There is no way [X] could have achieved such results without your teaching, support and guidance!”

“I do enjoy our lessons very much, I think in terms of what works well - your way of explaining things and finding methods are that are easy for students to memorize works perfect... Thank you so much for educating me throughout the year, I’m thankful to have you as my maths teacher, making maths all the more enjoyable.”

Parent

“Having our lessons had clearly helped me immensely with maths. I think this is because of the way you condense the many techniques and methods into simpler steps so it seemed less daunting for me—as a language student who doesn’t seem to operate very well mathematically—to solve.”

Parent

“We appreciated the engaging, gently probing approach to encourage an element of thought to draw out responses (especially as we could hear that [X] was initially rusty)… And the history snippet at the end is a lovely way to wind down and promote a wider interest of the topic.”

Maths can be a particularly challenging subject for many young people as it can often seem alien and unintuitive. I believe one-to-one tutoring in the subject is therefore particularly valuable. I focus on understanding what the specific blockers are for each student and find different strategies to help them overcome them. It is also very important to me to show students how powerful Maths can be and how it shapes so many aspects of their lives.

When I'm not teaching, I love to dance! I can usually be found at some salsa social in London, dancing Argentine tango or in a studio trying out my latest dance curiosity. I also have a little one who keeps me very busy!
