About
Mechanical Engineering graduate (MEng, University of Bristol) with over four years of online tutoring experience in GCSE Maths and Science, and A-level Maths and Further Maths.
My own background is in the subjects I teach: four A-levels, with A*s in Maths and Biology, plus As in Chemistry and Further Maths, followed by an engineering degree built on first-principles problem-solving, the same approach I bring to every lesson.
How I work:
Live drawing and annotation to make abstract concepts visible and easy to follow.
Past-paper practice marked against the exam mark scheme, so students see precisely where marks are gained and lost.
Lessons shaped around the individual; building underlying understanding for some, sharpening exam technique for others.
Alongside private tuition I've taught STEM in the classroom at British summer schools, with students across a wide range of abilities. My aim in every case is steady, visible progress, and a student who walks into the exam prepared rather than anxious.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Arik S.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

I recommend Ariel. I'm taking math courses for my son. Well-established work both face-to-face and online. This is very convenient and allows you to continue studying during your vacation. I'm pleased with the results.
