In my first year, I spent a year teaching piano for ages 7 to 10 and in the year between sixth form and university, I was a full time climbing instructor, instructing for ages ranging from 5 to 75 whilst also teaching guitar on my day and evenings off.

I recognise that each student is different, and so I attempt to tailor my teaching style to each individual's needs. I believe a main cause of failure in mathematics exams is from students attempting to memorise the material without understanding it, and so my main"
