After obtaining my A-levels in English (A), Biology (A) and Geography (A), I went on to complete my University studies at Edinburgh University, achieving a strong 2.1 grade. Having spent some time teaching English in Malawi, I naturally gravitated toward a career in education by joining the ‘Teach First’ scheme; an intensive programme which selects high achieving graduates and places them in challenging schools.

At the heart of my teaching is a belief that learning should be an adventure coupled with the desire to build excellent relationships with each individual student. Hence why I love private tutoring, as it allows me to tailor the learning to the specific needs and interests of my tutees. Lessons are always planned in great detail, with a focus on engaging, motivating and challenging my students whilst ensuring they feel safe and secure throughout. I strive to impart my own passion for the subjects I teach to develop enquiring, critical, and confident minds.

At the end last year, I closed down my business to pursue a career in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. My three year degree course at Roehampton University begins in September, so I have seven months to dedicate entirely to tutoring work.

My MA is part time, and therefore I'll be able to maintain my tutoring commitments throughout the three year study period. In my spare time I enjoy running, cold water swimming and yoga.
