I graduated from Oxford University in 2018, completing my undergraduate and masters in Biochemistry (Molecular and Cellular). This was based with Pembroke College. In 2019, I began the Oxford Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Programme, where the first year involves training for research, and the following three years is lab-based research for my PhD. I am based at Oxford Brookes, studying development and evolution in Drosophila.

            My approach is tailored to the student. If you have a particular interest, we will focus on that. If you want me to have more control over the content, then I am flexible on that too. I tend to prefer discussion-based learning as it allows the student to really consider the entirety of different topics, questioning current research and forming their own scientific research questions.

            I have been tutoring since 2016 for maths, chemistry, biology and physics across a range of levels including A-Level, GCSE and 13+ exams. In addition, I have tutored for Oxbridge interview preparation for 1 year.

            I love cycling, always trying to get out on the bike. I also spend a lot of time reading many different books and writing reviews on my blog, gardening and cooking vegan cuisine. I enjoy all sports and always try to make the most of being outdoors and keeping active.m
