I am a second year student of Maths with Finance at Kings College, with several years of tutoring experience to various levels of age and ability.      Having also extensive experience at public speaking and having worked at Deloitte as an Actuarial Consultant for a year, I can also offer assistance with more business based skills such as presenting, CV writing and interviews.

            Having relatively recently experienced the university entrance exams, A-levels and GCSEs, I like to think I have a good understanding of some of the challenges students face during this time.     My approach to teaching is quite flexible since I believe that every student is unique. I appreciate that some students prefer a very exam focused approach while others may want a more holistic approach which stretches their mind beyond their current curriculum.      However, for all my students I ensuring that my lessons are engaging, interactive and ultimately that you get the results that you desire.
