About Me
My approach to tutoring is all about sharing knowledge in a way that feels motivating, engaging, and tailored to you. I have a deep respect for students who take the initiative to learn beyond the classroom, and that respect will show in the way I teach. Whether you’re looking for clarity on tricky concepts, aiming to get ahead, or just need someone who truly listens and adapts to your learning style, I’m here to help.

I work best with students who are curious, open-minded, and ready to put in the effort. You don’t have to be a straight-A student—just someone who’s willing to show up and try. If you're serious about improving, I’ll match that energy with patience, encouragement, and strategies that make learning click.

Early Career Planning From Someone Who Took Planned For The Conventional Routes But Took The Scenic Route
35 £ /h
Trying to choose what to do after University? Not sure what to do after A-levels? Not got the results you needed? Not sure what to do after GCSE's? Want a career / job change?

This is your one stop shop for early career advice from some one who has planned every step of her life, had every step go wrong, and yet has still gotten to the place she want to be.... even if it meant taking the scenic route! This is your opportunity to hear about different options, discuss your thoughts, and maybe gain some appreciation for the view and experiences the scenic route can provide!

I will talk about my experiences from A-levels, Undergraduate, Masters, industry/corporate and PhD (current) and then discuss with you your thoughts, concerns or questions.

BSc Hons in Biomedical Science (Edinburgh Napier University)

I am a huge science enthusiast with particular interests in data science, molecular biology and organic chemistry, additionally to my lab technician and research experience I have participated in teaching students a variety of scientific concepts, methods (e.g. at University of Warwick), so rest assured I will give my 100% to make sure that you overcome difficult topics with ease!

I have been struggling with understanding plenty of scientific principles, such as molar calculations, the way the lactose operon works, or even DNA replication and I managed to get through it all. That makes me want to help you fellow students as well, as I strongly believe that if someone cannot explain something in plain English he doesn't understand it enough to teach!

Biology is a powerful science that becomes more and more influential as time passes. Biology allows for us not only to understand the world around us better but also helps us understand what goes on within our own bodies. Having studied Biology at the University of Edinburgh, I am incredibly passionate about the subject. Currently I am pursuing my research Masters degree in Biochemistry, working closely with protein design. I believe research is incredibly thrilling and learning about new research techniques and ideas feels like having a cookbook you can cook something fun and novel out of everyday! I would love to share my passion for Biology with you!

As a Master's student in Biomedical Sciences, I have made it to a substantial level of subject knowledge, and combined with my above par teaching skills, will be able to help students understand several concepts in interdisciplinary sciences spanning the biology field.
Anyone struggling with course material, or wanting a taught introduction to a particular subject in Biology, or in need of a little assistance in grasping a specific concept, can all benefit from having sessions with me, not only as an amicable and patient tutor, but also to be a supportive person to learn with. Sessions with me will be flexible and curated to the need of the student, and I will readily provide any form of reading material and create assessments to help build confidence in the subject. I will guide and tutor in a calm, positive and encouraging way.

Tutoring science and mathematics to elementary school students is an important step in building a strong foundation in these subjects. By providing personalized attention and support, tutors can help students develop a deeper understanding of key concepts and improve their problem-solving skills. Additionally, tutoring can help build confidence in students who may struggle with these subjects, setting them up for success in the future. Tutors can also provide real-world examples and hands-on activities to make learning more engaging and enjoyable for young learners. Overall, I believe that tutoring in science and mathematics at the elementary school level can have a significant impact on a student's academic growth and future success.

Welcome to the GCSE Mathematics and Science class, where students embark on an exciting journey through the fundamental principles of mathematics and the captivating realms of science. This course is designed to equip students with the essential knowledge and skills required to excel in their GCSE examinations while fostering a deep appreciation for the wonders of mathematics and science in the world around us.

In the Mathematics component of this class, students will delve into the core concepts of algebra, geometry, statistics, and more. Through engaging lessons and interactive problem-solving activities, students will develop their mathematical fluency, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking skills. Topics covered include equations, graphs, trigonometry, probability, and algebraic manipulation, among others. Emphasis will be placed on applying mathematical techniques to real-world scenarios, ensuring students understand the practical applications of mathematical concepts.

In the Science component, students will explore the three core disciplines: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Through hands-on experiments, demonstrations, and multimedia resources, students will investigate key scientific theories, principles, and phenomena. From the intricate workings of cells to the laws governing motion and energy, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the natural world and the scientific processes underlying it. Topics covered include genetics, atomic structure, forces, energy, and the environment, among others. Students will also develop their scientific inquiry skills, learning how to design experiments, analyze data, and draw evidence-based conclusions.

Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to actively participate in class discussions, collaborate with their peers, and seek support when needed. Regular assessments, quizzes, and homework assignments will provide students with opportunities to consolidate their learning and track their progress. Additionally, individualized support and enrichment activities will be available to ensure that each student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

By the end of this class, students will not only be well-prepared for their GCSE examinations but will also have developed a lifelong passion for mathematics and science, empowering them to navigate and contribute to an increasingly complex and dynamic world.

I tutor Chemistry at National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher level. I can provide help understanding course content, practicing exam questions, and more. If you are thinking about crashing a subject I can help provide a basic level of knowledge which it is extremely beneficial to have when directly entering a subject at a Higher or Advanced Higher level.
The sessions can be completely dictated by what the student feels they need from me or I can take a more structured approach after an initial consultation.
I am a friendly and passionate tutor with a comprehensive understanding of my subject.

Problem solving is a key transferable life skill applicable to all fields, especially Mathematics.It is important students master these foundations which act as building blocks supporting further progression in learning. I aim to help students build vital confidence enabling them to tackle any unseen problem thrown at them.This is particularly important when it comes to high-pressure and time-constraint examinations.

In this class, I will go through topics students struggle with, providing alternative approaches I have personally learned over the years. I will also teach useful exam techniques so that students can enter examinations confident and well-prepared. Once a concept has been covered, we will go through additional questions to reinforce understanding of the topic.

I am friendly and approachable former student who has picked up several tips and tricks over the years, excited to these with younger students. Having worked with kids before, I am confident in my ability to relate to the frustrations of tackling hard new concepts, and break things down in legible ways. Ultimately, I am motivated to inspire an excitement for problem-solving, like my own, and foster kids’ enthusiasm in maths.
