I am a qualified teacher with QTS and Enhanced DBS, with 11 years of experience teaching mathematics. I have taught in state schools, prestigious independent schools, an international school, and an A-level college, and I am currently working at a prestigious university. My teaching experience spans KS1 to KS5, giving me a deep understanding of student progression at all levels. I can also help functional skills students with maths and Nursing students with safemedicate calculations.

I hold a first-class degree in Mathematics from Queen Mary University of London. In addition to my teaching career, I specialize in data science and can assist with fundamental Python, Tableau, pivot tables, and more. As a GCSE Mathematics and Statistics examiner, I have extensive experience in exam preparation and assessment.

I am dedicated to helping students succeed academically, from entrance exams to university admissions. My tailored approach ensures learners develop confidence and mastery in mathematics and data science.

I am currently studying data science. If your child needs help with basic data science (such as Python, Excel pivot tables, Tableau, etc.), then I can help.

Tutoring Approach

In a world rushing to embrace the latest technology and AI in education, I take a different approach — one that has stood the test of time. I teach using pen and paper, focusing on clear, methodical learning that builds real understanding.

While technology can be powerful in the hands of experts, it often distracts young learners from developing strong foundational skills. I aim to help students master the basics with focus and clarity—no screens, no shortcuts. Many parents know that school education is failing, especially when using AI, technology, or apps in classrooms. Hence, more seek private tuition from tutors who teach knowledge with pen and paper.

A firm grasp of core subjects like math, science, and English is essential for success in school and beyond. Once students become confident and capable in these areas, they’ll be fully prepared to compete and collaborate with AI, not be replaced by it.
