Bio
Experienced tutor with over 10 years of helping people reach their goals. I am a qualified archaeologist and love to help people push to do and be their best selves.
I strive to listen and learn as much from my students, as I expect them to learn from me. I love helping people not just improve their marks or skills, but to feel more comfortable and confident in themselves and the application of their knowledge. I have a passion for the subjects I tutor and this makes me easier to learn from and with.
