About Me
With over 14 years of tutoring experience alongside a successful teaching career, I am passionate about helping students grow in confidence, develop independence, and achieve their full potential. My approach is highly personalised, recognising that every student learns differently and benefits from support tailored to their individual strengths, challenges, and goals.
I am a fully qualified teacher and former Head of Science, with extensive experience in classroom teaching and departmental leadership across secondary education. During my career, I have taught and tutored a wide range of subjects and stages, including Maths and Physics to GCSE, Biology and Chemistry to A-Level, KS3 Science, and 11+ and 13+ preparation. My teaching style combines strong subject knowledge with patience, encouragement, and a calm, supportive approach. Alongside teaching, I have provided extensive tuition to private and high-profile families in the UK and internationally, designing bespoke learning programmes tailored to individual learning needs and educational goals.
AchieveWithZora brings together both sides of my educational work: providing highly personalised tuition for individual students and developing high-quality, classroom-ready resources for teachers. Both are grounded in the same principles — strong subject knowledge, thoughtful design and making learning clear, engaging and accessible.
