My approach

Marks follow understanding — so I teach for understanding.

Cramming lifts a grade for a week; understanding lifts it for good. I focus on how a student thinks about a subject, fill the gaps underneath, and build habits that outlast our sessions.

Taught to the student

Every plan starts from where this student actually is — their gaps, their pace, their goals — not a generic curriculum.

Confidence, not dependence

The aim is a learner who needs me less over time, not more. We build the skills to work independently.

A teacher, not just a tutor

A university lecturer and classroom teacher, so sessions are properly taught — not just supervised homework.

What I offer

Support that meets the student — and the ambition.

One-on-one tutoring

Grades 5–12 in math and the sciences: exam prep, homework support, and filling the gaps that hold a student back.

Contest & enrichment coaching

For students who want to stretch further — competition math and beyond, taught by someone who loves the subject.

Education planning

The bigger picture: course selection, study roadmaps, and university and pathway planning — a strategy, not just a schedule.
