About Me

I started my tutoring journey around 5 years ago, when I was informally asked to support a friend's child with preparation for a competitive private school entrance exam in North London, in which they achieved a 100% bursary/academic scholarship.

Word got out and I was then approached to coach other students in Mathematics at GCSE and A-levels. At present, I'm assisting a secondary school student with Mathematics Olympiad preparation.

I hold a Masters' degree in Financial Mathematics from King's College, London and have nearly 2 decades of experience in the financial services industry in a quantitative role.

"World-class performance comes by striving for a target just out of reach, but with a vivid awareness of how the gap might be breached. Over time, through constant repetition and deep concentration, the gap will disappear."
- Matthew Syed, Bounce

I strongly believe that practice, hard work, and determination will triumph over innate ability. I apply this ethos to the young players I coach at my local cricket club.

I enjoy playing competitive cricket, hiking, and exploring the great outdoors with my wife and three children. I am based in London, UK and have an Enhanced DBS clearance.
