I have a first-class degree in mathematics from Oxford University (MMath), and I integrate this knowledge into a holistic approach to learning and well-being.

I believe it is crucial to create a comfortable environment where students can freely express themselves and enjoy their learning. This establishes a solid foundation for a deeper and more creative understanding of the subject and learning in general. Above all, it is essential to adapt teaching methods to cater to the specific needs of each student, helping them achieve their individual goals, whether it be subject-related or factors like confidence building.

I have experience teaching current and former maths students ranging from Year 5 to the completion of their school studies. Additionally, I have a diverse range of general experience, including tutoring and teaching in various settings in the UK, Nepal, and Spain. This includes mainstream schools as well as acting as a teaching assistant in different types of special schools. Furthermore, I have worked as a rowing coach and an English as a Foreign Language teacher. Additionally, I have pursued other professional work, including a role as a lawyer at a leading city law firm and as a researcher on business ethics.

I genuinely enjoy teaching students with varying abilities, spanning those struggling with elementary level concepts to those engaging in advanced level mathematics in secondary school. I have substantial experience in teaching students extension maths to challenge them, whether it is to give them an advantage in their regular studies or to prepare for math competitions. Read less
