I grew up in Telegraph Hill, London and remain local to the area. I attended Haberdashers' Hatcham College where I studied Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Biology and English at A Level. I moved on to study Physics and Philosphy at Balliol College, Oxford, for my undergraduate, and joined the prestigious MMathPhys course in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics for my 4th year. Since graduating from Oxford I completed an MSc in Maths at King's College London with a high distinction and I am now completing my PhD researching Number Theory at King's College London.

I am not only deeply interested in Maths and Physics academically but also in how these subjects are taught and learned, looking at barriers to understanding and enjoyment that some of my pupils face.

In my teaching I encourage an environment where students feel as comfortable as possible and ask lots of questions. I do my best to empower my students so they have the confidence to make their own conclusions and trust their learning. Once they reach this level, we work on refining their understanding and knowledge, and for students who show keen interest in the subject I take them beyond the curriculum and introduce them to relevant and exciting areas of the subject they may not usually be exposed to.

Each of my students is unique, and I do my best to get to know them and understand their learning style. My sessions are highly interactive and tailor made, whether online or in person, and this includes bespoke material including homework and tests.

Besides tutoring and my PhD, I enjoy cycling (I recently cycled to Paris!), cinema, and cooking (a work in progress).
