My role as a tutor varies depending on the tutee and what works best for them, but the goal is always the same: to make the best use of the time we have together. Work or questions a student can tackle on their own should stay that way — lessons are best spent on the parts they're genuinely unsure of, which is exactly what I encourage students to bring.

My approach is patient and warm, but knowing exactly when to push a student is key to building confidence. Over the years, I've often found that students say "I don't know" too soon. By encouraging them to think for just a few more minutes, I've found that in many cases, they're able to reach the solution by themselves. This is key to growing independence and confidence — proving to yourself that you can do it.

While I'm based in London and open to tutoring at my London home, I'm also fully equipped to teach online. I use a touchpad, which lets me write equations naturally on a shared whiteboard — one the student can also contribute to and annotate, making each session fully interactive. Whiteboard notes are shared with the student after every lesson.
