I graduated from Guy's King's and St Thomas' Medical School, King's College London in 2022, and I have an academic and research background in Neuroscience with a 1st class honours degree.

I grew up in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where I attended a British private school until the age of 10. My family then moved to the UK where I studied at King Edward VI Five Ways Grammar, Birmingham and left sixth form with A*A*A at A-Level and 12A* 1A at GCSE, as well as a silver medal in the International Chemistry Olympiad.

I have lived in various places throughout my upbringing and grew up surrounded by many languages and cultures. I am currently fluent in four languages and keen on learning more.

I am a highly engaging and personable tutor who believes the essence of tutoring is to develop the tutee's ability to overcome problems by themselves through a shared learning experience rather than didactic teaching.

I am a strong proponent of developing a passion for learning and a healthy sense of curiosity in my students. I am able to adapt sessions to suit the tutee's learning style, but I maintain a structure whereby we review past material, delve into the current topic with comprehension checks and then set the groundwork for the next session.

I am a keen academic and have a variety of interests particularly in global health, medtech and innovation. I am part of an NHS Entrepreneurship program developing a startup in medical devices.

In my spare time, I enjoy middle distance and cross country running, exploring the outdoors, particularly mountains, reading and writing.
