I work with students of all abilities and backgrounds, tailoring lessons to their needs, ambitions and confidence. Alongside regular tuition, I have delivered GCSE, A-level and IB revision courses, helping students strengthen their understanding, examination technique and problem-solving skills. Building strong, long-term relationships with students and parents is central to my approach, and I am happy to support families with wider educational planning where helpful.

I was born in Birmingham and attended Nishkam High School studying Chemistry, Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics at A level. At university I studied Mathematics at the University of Birmingham and started tutoring privately alongside. My dissertation explored the effectiveness of different feedback methods within secondary Mathematics education. Ever since my time at university I have enjoyed the challenge of helping people understand Mathematics at all levels. After university I decided to take a gap year where I travelled around India and worked as a volunteer for an educational charity. Upon my return I went on to train with the King Edward’s Consortium as a secondary Mathematics teacher. This led me to teach at King Edward’s Aston and King Edward’s Birmingham over the next 5 years, both are which top grammar/independent schools within the West Midlands. I’ve continued to tutor students to achieve their highest potential within Mathematics and I’m now excited to be working full time as a private tutor to clients all over the world.

My teaching based on creating a welcoming environment for students where they feel safe and confident enough to push themselves, ask questions and to overcome the fear of making mistakes. I have many years of experience tutoring 1-1, small groups and regular classes with up to 30 students at school. I enjoy the challenge of understanding how each student learns and creating solutions that are personalised and aim to break down problems into smaller, more manageable chunks. Seeing students develop in ability and confidence as they learn with me has been really fulfilling and I’m looking forward to many more journeys to come. I find research into teaching methods fascinating and is something I like to keep up to date with. Students find my style of teaching clear, challenging, interesting, and engaging.

I was working full-time as teacher of Mathematics at King Edward's School Birmingham for the past four years and I'm still involved with the school's extracurricular activities. These include the RAF cadets section, interfaith society and careers advice. Outside of teaching and tutoring I enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing a range of sports (mainly football), reading about Philosophy and History and travelling.
