Personal Description: Born in England, I moved to France at the age of 5 and lived there until passing my Baccalaureat within the French education system. I then returned to the UK to study Automotive Engineering at the University of Hertfordshire. I am therefore bilingual English-French and have a strong scientific background. I have also lived for short periods in Germany and have a reasonable level in German. I enjoy travelling and meeting new people and am very open-minded.

Tutoring Experience: This will be the first time that I tutor professionally. I have helped pupils with their maths in the past and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I find helping people is very rewarding and it is something that I am good at.

Tutoring Approach: Having just finished my degree, I am still very much in touch with what it is like being a student. I like to focus on the positive and give lots of encouragement as this is what has helped me the most during my studies. I am very patient and considerate and good at figuring out where someone is having difficulties and getting straight to the heart of the problem.
