🌿✨ ABOUT ME
I’m an experienced Maths teacher with nearly 20 years in secondary education, teaching KS3, GCSE and A Level.
I’m also an examiner, so I understand exactly how marks are awarded — and how students can access them.
Alongside teaching, I’ve always been drawn to supporting young people more widely. I’ve been a Beaver and Scout leader, and supported autistic students at university in a calm, practical way.
I have strong experience supporting students with SEN and mental wellbeing, helping them feel calm, understood, and able to engage with learning.
🌱 MY APPROACH
Many students don’t struggle with maths itself —
they struggle with pressure, confidence, or feeling overwhelmed.
My sessions gently support both.
I create a calm, welcoming space where students can settle, think clearly, and rebuild confidence step by step.
✔️ EXPERIENCE
✔️ Nearly 20 years teaching Maths

🌿✨ IMPORTANT
Sessions are tailored to each student, so I ask parents to get in touch first.
This helps me make sure the level, pace, and support are right before confirming a place.
