Tutoring approach & Lesson fees

Tutoring approach

Tutoring offers a personalised journey, vastly different from standard classroom teaching. My approach is structured around three pivotal steps:

  1. Identifying Gaps: We'll pinpoint areas of weakness, ensuring no topic is left unmastered

  2. Filling the Gaps: Through bespoke lessons, we'll address each gap, solidifying knowledge

  3. Syllabus Mastery & Exam Practice: Beyond mastering the syllabus, we'll intensively tackle past paper questions and simulate exam scenarios to ensure complete preparedness

With over a decade of experience and continuous interactions with examiners, I possess an acute understanding of different exam boards, especially the nuances in Economics. This allows me to optimise students' essay writing, a vital component for attaining top marks.

I have unwavering in my belief in my tutoring abilities. More than just teaching, I focus on building confidence, working with passion and boundless energy to ensure every student reaches their peak. The outcome? Success, certainty, and true academic prowess.

My students

My students come from diverse backgrounds and schools, encompassing state, grammar, and private institutions, usually aged between 13 and 18. Some may be catching up due to missed opportunities at school, personal circumstances, or simply not connecting with the subject initially. Others aim for the pinnacle of academic excellence. Regardless of the starting point, I possess the expertise to guide each student to their desired outcomes.

In addition, I'm adept at supporting students with dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, and other learning differences, tailoring my approach to their individual needs.

Schools that some of my student attend (13-18 years):

Dulwich College, King Edward's Witley, Bancroft's School, the Lycée, Eton College, Millfield, St Paul's School, Westminster School, City of London School, GEMS FirstPoint School, Fortismere School, St Michael's Grammar, Highgate School, The Latymer School, North London Collegiate School, Mill Hill School, King's College School, Dame Alice Owen's School, Sevenoaks and some more

University students (18-22 years):

My university students mostly come from The London School of Economics and University College London, this is because I am most familiar with the Economics course structure/programme at these universities as well as the exam format. However, sometimes I do work with students from other universities.
