My Teaching Philosophy: I believe education is more than just acquiring knowledge - it's about building confidence, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love for learning. Whether it’s analyzing literature, exploring historical perspectives, or understanding business dynamics, I strive to make lessons engaging, thought-provoking, and relevant to real-world scenarios. Beyond teaching, I am passionate about fitness, yoga, and socializing. I strongly believe that physical and mental well-being go hand in hand, and a balanced lifestyle contributes to clearer thinking and better decision-making. Welcome aboard! Let’s make learning an exciting and enriching experience. 😊 I have a strong academic foundation with a focus on biology, business, finance, and social sciences, shaping my ability to teach with depth and real-world application. GCSE (2013): Included Biology A-Levels (2015): Business and Social Sciences Bachelor’s Degree: Double majors in Marketing and Finance MBA: Specializing in business strategy, leadership, and financial analysis Teaching Experience My teaching journey began during my bachelor’s studies, where I worked as a teaching assistant and provided private tuition in English, Maths, Biology, Business, and History. I then formally entered the education sector, teaching at schools, academies, and online platforms, with a focus on my core subjects: English – Strengthening analytical, writing, and communication skills Business – Connecting business theories to real-world applications History – Encouraging critical thinking and historical analysis With 8+ years of experience, I specialize in student-centered learning, exam strategies, and fostering critical thinking. My goal is to empower students with knowledge and confidence, preparing them for both academic success and real-world challenges.

I have just started university and I am eager to help my students in a supportive way with a dynamic based on mutual respect. Outside of my studies I love to watch football, go on hikes in the South Downs and read the financial times, as I am of course interested in any developments in markets. I went to Sackville School, East Grinstead and completed 12 GCSE's and one level 2 certificate in Further Maths, all at grade 7 and above. I then progressed to my A-Levels, achieving A*AAA in Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Physics. During my time I also gained a Gold Certificate in the Senior Maths Challenge and participated in the Senior Maths Kangaroo, whilst also participating in the FCDO Next generation Economics essay competition.

I believe that though hard work you can achieve anything you put your mind too! I am currently studying a Biomedical Engineering degree, but having only recently left secondary education I hope that I will be able to support and guide students towards their goals. I offer Biology, Physics and Maths. I studied my GCSEs and A-levels at my local secondary school, I received 4 As at A-level (Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology). I have always enjoyed science and Maths hence why I decided to study Biomedical Engineering at the Univeristy of Sheffield.
