About Me

I am a full-time tutor, SEN specialist and study skills specialist. I've been tutoring for over 12 years and have developed an effective toolbox of strategies to support students online across GCSE/iGCSE and Functional Skills. I also teach study skills to university students from undergraduate to PhD levels.

I consider myself a lifelong learner too, and my current studies are leading me towards becoming a dyslexia assessor. I qualified as a specialist dyslexia teacher in 2023, which allows me to support university students with study skills.

I support students who are at school, those electively home educated, or those in receipt of EHCP provision. I can support with topics covered at school, or create personalised learning plans that suit the individual child - I'm always happy to discuss how this works with potential students.

My Teaching Experience

I started tutoring whilst studying for my BSc Mathematics degree and just never stopped! I thrived in self-employment, and managing my own workload suited my neurodiverse self perfectly. I've had incredible teaching experiences, including remote work, in schools, colleges, universities and even in the UAE!

I have been tutoring for over a decade, supporting adults in the Forces and the NHS to gain promotions, and countless GCSE and A Level students towards exam success. I now tutor solely on GCSE/iGCSE or Functional Skills syllabi as the narrow focus enables me to offer very high-quality tuition to students on these courses.

My Approach

I specialist in supporting students who are neurodiverse, like myself, and need a more personalised approach. I have successfully supported students with Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, Autism, and other learning differences towards gaining their desired grades. Online sessions are varied and interesting, with the student as the sole focus. I listen to their verbal and non-verbal communication and make sure we go at the right pace for them. I utilise my dyslexia teacher training to break down steps and incorporate teaching strategies that support effective learning for long-term recall.
