With a proven track record of guiding countless students to achieve Grade 8s and 9s in their GCSEs, I take immense pride in nurturing young minds for success.

They have attained places in medical school, veterinary college and dentistry, showcasing the transformative power of quality education. Serving as Deputy Head of Science for five years, I have led KS4 Science in my Department. I was awarded the National Award for Middle Leadership by the SSAT. This recognition underscores my dedication and the positive impact I've had on shaping academic landscapes.

This vantage point allows me to tailor my teaching methods to tackle the specific challenges students face during exams, ensuring their readiness and confidence. My educational journey includes a BSc in Biology, an MSc in Health and Society: Social Epidemiology, and a PGCE in Secondary Science from University College London.
