I offer the perfect balance of enthusiasm, expertise, and personalised attention. I create an engaging and interactive environment, incorporating games, multimedia, and real-life examples to make learning enjoyable. I leverage vast experience as an examiner to provide valuable insights and tips to help students excel in their studies. I foster open communication, actively listening to students' needs, and tailoring the session to unique learning styles. This instills confidence, encourages active participation, and inspires a genuine love for learning.

I have helped numerous students craft personal statements to help them gain offers to Oxbridge and other RG universities and gain places for Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Science programmes. I love to see their posts on LinkedIn as they finish their courses and start work!

You may notice that I have a relatively small number of repeat students. Whilst PMT currently shows 26 repeat students, I tend to work with a relatively small number of students for a long time rather than tutoring large numbers for short periods. This allows me to provide a highly personalised service, supporting not only the student but also their family throughout their educational journey. In the last academic year, I taught 88 lessons through PMT with just five students, some of whom I have been teaching for more than three years. It is not uncommon for students to begin with me at GCSE and remain until the end of their A-Levels, enabling me to develop a detailed understanding of their academic strengths, areas for development, and future aspirations.
