I come having experienced tutoring from both sides, as a tutee and a tutor. I therefore believe I am very well suited to understanding what strategies and techniques are most successful in getting the best out of my clients. I enjoy tutoring because I am dyslexic and like to help my students understand topics in a different way, which makes learning more engaging. I also have experience in mentoring and really believe in its utility for confidence building and personal development. When I am not tutoring, I run a vegetarian food blog and enjoy swimming as well as travelling and learning languages. Fun fact: I have never lost a game of Monopoly!
