I was never top of my class in primary school, but before my IGCSEs I decided to really give it a go.
I went on to achieve 10 A*s at IGCSE and 43 points in the IB, with 7s in HL Maths, Physics and Economics. I’m now in my second year of Theoretical Physics at UCL, after a First in my first year.
I believe learning should be fun, motivating and affordable. My lessons are relaxed, clear and built around each student, because progress looks different for everyone.
