I have a strong educational background in both sciences and humanities. From a state comprehensive high school, I went to the University of Cambridge to study for an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering with first-class honours. Since then I have transitioned to the humanities, and am currently studying for a PhD in Philosophy with a focus on learning and pedagogy at King?s College London, where I also teach. In have A-levels in mathematics, further mathematics, physics, chemistry, and religious studies (all A-grade).

Since beginning my undergraduate I have taught a range of subjects and students, from KS3 school children struggling with numeracy, to undergraduates flourishing in their first year of university philosophy, and adult learners taking science A-levels. I have extensive experience tutoring A-level students as they apply and prepare for university, as well as first-year undergraduates as they transition from high school to university learning. I also work with students to improve their essay writing skills and exam technique, and have worked on many successful applications for both undergraduate and graduate degrees.

I encourage students in their capacity to think critically and empathetically about any topic, by focusing on learning as a cooperative and discursive endeavour between student and teacher. I tailor each lesson to my student?s ability and confidence, using a variety of exercises and materials to enable them to learn for themselves. I encourage the thought that learning is a way of life, involving a student?s emotional and habitual engagement with a subject matter. As a way of life, the subjects we study are not merely academic. Rather, they are ways of thinking about and engaging with the world and the people in it. As such, my students do not learn mathematics merely in order to be able to calculate the change they are owed in the shop, but rather to come to think critically about the world in a new way. I aim to cultivate my students? enjoyment of learning by helping them see that education is not something that is confined to classrooms and textbooks.
