Experience

I have taught Chemistry, Mathematics, Biochemistry, Physics and English for over 6 years now, to students of various ages, ranging from 7 to 24 years old. I focus very heavily on making sure that my students always understand a topic first before working on perfecting recall. The key with difficult subjects is developing analogy, metaphor and bringing those subjects into context, so that students can visualise the things they are trying to learn and remember.

Hobbies

I swim regularly, go to the gym, enjoy and compose music, play piano and guitar, and also dance ballet in my free time. I have ridden horses during my time at university a great deal and I enjoy travelling, learning new languages and seeing the world. Having lived in four different countries in my life I have a good grasp of different cultures and ways of living; this has helped me greatly in developing a teaching approach well-suited for students who are themselves perhaps not in their home countries or struggling with language or culture as well.
