Experienced, qualified teacher, tutor, and examiner with CIE and Edexcel, boasting a proven track record of 100% A*-B student achievement:

After completing my degree at the University of Cambridge, I chose teaching as my profession. I am currently the Head of Science at an international school, with extensive experience teaching Science from Year 7 to 11 and Chemistry from Year 12 to 13. I have a proven track record of academic success, consistently achieving 100% A*-B results, with a specialization in differentiation.

In recent years, I have developed a strong understanding of blended learning and the rapid evolution of education. Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including Head of Chemistry and mentor for PGCE students. I also facilitate the National Professional Qualification in collaboration with the Institute of Education at University College London. My leadership training, combined with extensive training from exam boards, enables me to prepare students effectively for exams, focusing on strategies that not only help them achieve excellent grades but also foster a genuine interest in the subject.

I am empathetic, genuine, and reliable, with exceptional interpersonal skills. My drive, combined with a vibrant and outgoing personality, allows me to make a positive and lasting impact in every endeavor I undertake.

Outside my professional life, I am an avid reader and storyteller, and I enjoy creative pursuits such as knitting and engaging in STEM activities. Through my studies, global travels, teaching experience, and involvement with the Newnham Associate program, I bring a unique perspective and skill set that sets me apart from my peers.

Tutoring Experience

With over a decade of experience in teaching and tutoring at both GCSE and A-Level, I have a proven track record of empowering students to achieve outstanding results. I have successfully tutored students from prestigious institutions such as Hills Road and The Perse, guiding them to remarkable grade improvements, including transformations from D to A and B to A*.

In the past year, 100% of my students achieved A*-B grades. As an experienced examiner, I specialize in equipping students with effective exam techniques, ensuring they approach assessments with confidence and skill. Additionally, I offer tailored support for university applications, with a particular focus on Oxbridge admissions, helping students maxmize their academic potential and secure placements at top institutions.

Tutoring Approach

Teaching is more than a profession to me; it is a vocation. I find immense fulfillment in inspiring young people and building their confidence. My diverse experiences, both within and beyond education—including travel and roles outside teaching—have shaped my wide-ranging yet focused skill set. Additionally, as an experienced examiner with Cambridge International Assessment and a Science tutor, I possess deep expertise in the subject.
