About me
As a full-time, professional tutor based in central Salisbury I am passionate about enabling students to achieve their full potential. I have also worked alongside Zigzag education for several years, authoring materials used in schools including practice papers, homework sets and learning grids.
I graduated from King’s College London in 2008 with a 1st class MSci Physics degree and then moved to Salisbury where I have been tutoring ever since, first from home and for the last 4 years from my dedicated office in the centre of Salisbury on the Market Square.
In these strange times I am particularly sensitive to the stress that students are under having missed teaching time at school. This is something that I believe it important to address early on and to work with the student to make a plan for the year ahead. I am able to offer the flexibility of online or in person lessons in my dedicated office and I have invested in an iPad Pro which enables me to write on screen in live time for students to see, annotating exam papers and writing notes just like we would in person with the added advantage of being able to email it across after our lesson.
Whether online tuition is preferred as an alternative to in person tuition or just a useful extra in the event of self isolation I hope this will provide my students with an added feeling of security and support in the knowledge I am with them for the whole year no matter what.
“Excellent tutor, taught me more in 6 months about A-Level Maths than I ever learnt in school. Especially good with exam preparation and she always made sure I understood a subject before moving on. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!”
My approach
As a tutor I see my role as much more than that of a classroom teacher. I place importance on finding the source of any problems that the student may have and getting to know the students learning style to enable me to tailor our lessons and revision tactics towards them so that their revision time is maximised and not wasted.
I pride myself on my ability to make complex topics less daunting and enabling my students to see through any confusion and to actually understand their work, overcoming their problems to be able to excel.
I aim to build a strong rapport and friendly relationship and I want my students to feel comfortable asking me any questions about their work, no matter how silly they make think their question is, if it will help their understanding it is vital!
I am a very patient tutor and I believe that everyone learns in their own unique way. If a student does not understand a topic when explained in a certain way I will go out of my way to find an explanation that will click for them - there is always a way.
Exam practice is vital for students and we will work through papers together to ensure that the student is fully confident in their exam technique and that they know exactly what to expect come exam day.
