I am a PhD student at the University of St Andrews (ranked top university in the UK by the Guardian and the Times) focusing on population statistics. I hold a first class and distinction in BSc Population & Geography & MSc Social Research Methods with Applied Statistics from the University of Southampton respectively.

I am an organised, responsible, and reliable person and I have held many positions during my academic career such as Senior Prefect, Subject Ambassador and Faculty Representative. I have held paid positions as a part-time Librarian and Student Ambassador at university. I interact with children, young people and their parents on a regular basis through presentations, Q&As, and regular conversations. Therefore, I have excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

I have tutored since my undergraduate. I have different approaches to tutoring depending on the student thus I am flexible. I have also worked with special educational needs students and I understand the adjustments required in tutoring. With two students, I have increased their grades from 40%-50% to 75%+ within one to two months.

I was a Subject Ambassador for Geography, History, and German in Sixth Form. I ran revision sessions and support sessions throughout the academic year on these subjects and I helped students with their homework, exam questions, or whole exam papers. I have led many learning sessions at school in English and Maths for a wide range of ages.

I am dedicated to learning (studying a PhD places high premium on research and giving back to the academic community) and I want to share this passion and dedication with my students. I am also patient and understanding and will cut no corners so that students understand the topic completely. I am a friendly person and like to fully engage with the student as I think this will increase motivation and understanding. I believe in informal testing to make sure that students not only grasp the concept but be able to translate this in exam-style situations. I am also happy to make worksheets for specific topics and can work through these with the student. I am very devoted to tutoring as this is something I may want to continue on as a career after my PhD.
