Founder & Principal Consultant
Education: Oxford Physics MA (Magdalen College) & Oxford PGCE (Kellogg College)
Secondary: Magdalen College School, Oxford Alumnus
Experience: 10+ Years (Cokethorpe School, St Mary Redcliffe & Become Academic)
Location: London (East Finchley) & Remote Worldwide
Credentials: QTS Qualified, Enhanced DBS & ADHD Strategy Trained
Having completed my Physics degree at Magdalen College, Oxford and my PGCE at Kellogg College, Oxford, I have dedicated over a decade to mastering both STEM rigour and the science of effective teaching.
My tutoring approach integrates the individualized, Socratic rigor of the Oxford tutorial system with insights from cognitive neuroscience and memory consolidation. Rather than simply delivering answers, I structure topics to build on a student's existing understanding, giving them the precise guidance needed to work through complex concepts independently.
I work extensively with ADHD students, embedding structured focus frameworks, executive function habits, and step-by-step problem-solving strategies that help neurodivergent learners overcome overwhelm and excel.
"One of the most rewarding aspects of tutoring is seeing a student move from feeling overwhelmed by complex Physics to mastering SUVAT equations and discovering a genuine passion for the subject."

Key information regarding London in-person tuition, online sessions, pedagogy, and admissions coaching.
My tutoring combines extensive classroom experience with the individualised, rigorous approach of the Oxford tutorial system. Rather than simply providing answers, I guide students through structured questioning that builds directly on their existing understanding—helping them develop the independence to work out complex solutions for themselves. I also integrate insights from neuroscience and memory retention to ensure concepts are consolidated efficiently week to week.
I am based in East Finchley and offer local in-person tuition across North and Central London (including Highgate, Hampstead, Muswell Hill, and surrounding areas). I also provide interactive online tutoring via Lessonspace, offering a collaborative digital whiteboard, permanent downloadable lesson archives for exam revision, and greater scheduling flexibility.
I work extensively with ADHD students to develop structured focus frameworks, executive function routines, and clear step-by-step problem-solving strategies. By breaking complex topics into manageable components and optimizing session pacing, I help students overcome overwhelm, build confidence, and establish effective study habits.
Admissions preparation combines deep problem-solving intuition with systematic past-paper training for entrance tests like the Oxford PAT and Cambridge NSAA/NatSci. We also conduct mock Oxbridge interviews and refine personal statements to help candidates communicate scientific concepts clearly and fluidly under pressure.
I cover all major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC / EDUQAS. Lessons emphasize board-specific mark schemes, structured mathematical steps, and precision exam timing.
I hold an exceptional success rate for candidates prepared for the Eton King's Scholarship examination and other top independent schools (such as Cheltenham Ladies' College). I regularly prepare tutees for 13+ and 16+ entrance examinations for prestigious day and boarding schools.
Safety, accountability, and professional standards are paramount across all London in-person and online 1-on-1 sessions.
