Approach to Grinds:

My grinds are student-focused and exam-oriented, designed to build both understanding and confidence. I start by identifying the student’s strengths and areas for improvement through discussion and simple assessments. From there, I tailor each session to suit the student’s learning style and pace.

Lessons are structured but flexible—combining clear explanations of theory with worked examples, regular past paper practice, and tips on how to approach exam questions effectively. I place a strong emphasis on simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into manageable parts, and helping students build strong foundations.

Whether a student is aiming for a H1 or just wants to pass, I work to create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes—because that’s where real learning happens.
