About

I am a PhD-qualified Mathematics and Physics specialist focused on helping GCSE, IGCSE, and A-Level students achieve top grades. My approach is strictly learner-centred—I adapt every lesson to match the student’s unique learning style, pace, and academic goals. Beyond covering syllabus content, I place a strong emphasis on exam technique, teaching students how to dissect complex questions, avoid common examiner traps, and structure high-scoring answers under timed conditions.

I have tutored GCSE and A-Level mathematics and physics online for over 13 years. Prior to transitioning exclusively to private tuition, I taught in international schools across the UK, Europe, and Southern Africa. Having worked extensively with all major exam boards and curricula, I bring a wealth of classroom and 1-on-1 experience to help students consistently reach and exceed their target grades every year.

I deliver interactive, seamless lessons via Zoom using screen sharing. I utilize specialized digital tools to offer a highly effective online classroom:

  • TI-Nspire CX Premium Teacher Software: Online calculator. Especially useful when teaching A-level mathematics.

  • Microsoft OneNote: Functions as a collaborative digital whiteboard, enabling real-time reviewing, marking, and annotating of scanned student homework.

This setup ensures every student benefits from an organised, highly professional digital environment tailored to their individual learning needs.
