Early Career Planning From Someone Who Took Planned For The Conventional Routes But Took The Scenic Route

Trying to choose what to do after University? Not sure what to do after A-levels? Not got the results you needed? Not sure what to do after GCSE's? Want a career / job change?

This is your one stop shop for early career advice from some one who has planned every step of her life, had every step go wrong, and yet has still gotten to the place she want to be.... even if it meant taking the scenic route! This is your opportunity to hear about different options, discuss your thoughts, and maybe gain some appreciation for the view and experiences the scenic route can provide!

I will talk about my experiences from A-levels, Undergraduate, Masters, industry/corporate and PhD (current) and then discuss with you your thoughts, concerns or questions.

About Me

My approach to tutoring is all about sharing knowledge in a way that feels motivating, engaging, and tailored to you. I have a deep respect for students who take the initiative to learn beyond the classroom, and that respect will show in the way I teach. Whether you’re looking for clarity on tricky concepts, aiming to get ahead, or just need someone who truly listens and adapts to your learning style, I’m here to help.

I work best with students who are curious, open-minded, and ready to put in the effort. You don’t have to be a straight-A student—just someone who’s willing to show up and try. If you're serious about improving, I’ll match that energy with patience, encouragement, and strategies that make learning click.
