In creative writing, I guide students to move beyond a “tick-box” mentality. We focus on crafting authentic, compelling narratives with believable characters and immersive storytelling - key elements that elevate their work.

My teaching focuses on breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, especially in essay writing. For History of Art, I help students analyse unseen artworks and craft thematic essays. In Fine Art, I guide students in improving their coursework to achieve top marks.

Online Tutoring:

The majority of my sessions are online, allowing me to work with students worldwide, including those in Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, and the United States. My TEFL qualification equips me to support students transitioning to UK schools, ensuring a solid foundation in English.

SEN experience:

Biography

Education has been the most transformative gift in my life; inspiring teachers from my past have been instrumental to my development as both a person and my academic success. It was why I wanted to become a tutor: to give back what was freely given to me.

Throughout my academic career I have consistently been a top grade student. While neither of my parents studied at University, I won a scholarship to attend Gresham's - a co-ed private boarding school - and went on to achieve 6A*6As in GCSE, and A*A*A in A-Level. In my A2-Level for English and Fine Art, I came top of the country gaining 100% in both exams. After school, I graduated from the University of Oxford in 2015, where I obtained a First Class degree in Fine Arts, and was awarded a Moritz Heyman Scholarship. Most recently, I completed a Master’s in Fine Art with Distinction at Goldsmiths University. Today, I am a contemporary artist, writer, and tutor. I exhibit my work in galleries across Europe, and my writing has been published in various magazines.

Approach to Tutoring

I take great pride in ensuring the effectiveness of my tuition. The reason why my students are so successful is because in the last eight years I have gained extensive experience in the exam process and am able to adapt to each specific exam board/school to keep on track of a student’s goal. Over the years, I have refined my teaching technique, and have found the best way to learn is to make sure that the classes are fun, but focused. Ultimately, I love learning, and it is infectious! I feel that my enthusiasm, humour and caring nature is the reason that my students make so much progress. Whether they are learning Maths or English, my classes are constantly dynamic and inventive, which keeps them on their toes.

Above all, my goal is to cultivate academic independence and self-motivation. I encourage students to take ownership of their learning and strive for excellence, equipping them with skills to succeed beyond the classroom.

When not tutoring

When I am not tutoring, I am a contemporary artist and writer, having exhibited and curated shows internationally. I have a studio in South East London where I write poetry and short stories of imaginary worlds that weave scientific theories with fictional narratives. Fragments of these worlds I make into paintings and sculpture. You will often find me reading on the sofa in my studio, visiting art exhibitions and museums, meditating, or going on long runs in London parks.
