1. Why do you like teaching?

It is incredibly rewarding and varied – each and every tutee is different and I love a challenge.

2. What is your teaching style?

I believe that confidence is key – I try and be as inspirational as I can, and am encouraging but firm. I believe that each child learns differently and it is a case of finding the best methods for them to reach their potential. It is about learning how to learn as much as learning a specific subject so I hope my students feel that they are well equipped for their future academic careers.

3. Tell us your best teaching moment.

When one of my students told me he was actually looking forward to his exams to show the examiners how much he knew – I felt like I had succeeded in making academics fun!

4. What are your interests outside of teaching?

I like ballet, walking my little Norfolk terrier around Battersea Park, reading, cooking and sewing.
