My wide range of tutoring experience over the years has firmly impressed upon me the need to adjust my approach and tailor sessions in order to best facilitate the growth of each specific student.

I have tutored students from as young as 8 years old all the way through to undergraduate level where, as an Anatomy Fellow, the sessions I was delivering were highly specialised and subject specific. Naturally, dealing with such a wide age distribution has lent itself to the development of patience and a feel for the level of direction necessary to best lead a session. Students across all age groups make mistakes but different personalities and age groups require different levels of encouragement and support in order to best recognise this as a symptom of the learning process.

Being dyslexic myself and having done specialist tutor work with autistic children, I am well aware of the individual challenges that students may face. I am keen to work with them in order to help create a learning process that will not only serve them well within the sessions, but will also be one that they can take forward through the rest of their academic careers.

Lastly, having benefitted from two historic institutions, I am a firm believer in access to quality higher education. I have been involved with a number of mentorship schemes and these coupled with my own educational history have demonstrated the need for a holistic approach to education. Learning does not stop outside the classroom and I am keen to nurture a determination and inquisitiveness of spirit that the student may carry with them at all times.
