About Me

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 7 years old, and I was only treated with medication for a single year. During this time it was the only period in my primary or secondary education where I received perfect grades in all subjects. As I got older, my education started declining and I eventually dropped out of high school after 9th grade (S3 equivalent). I eventually learned how to work with my neurodiversity and mitigate its impact on my studies.

Despite dropping out of school, and spending over a year homeless as a teenager I have managed to get two MSc degrees from the University of Edinburgh.

I am a friendly teacher who enjoys sharing what I have learned over the years and encouraging others to keep striving for the best because nobody is unable to learn a subject as long as they have the correct, supportive environment. Even if someone has had a rough go at life, they can become a very successful student and move onto a career that they find rewarding. The same goes for anyone who just wants to learn more information because they are interested in learning more.

My goal is to ensure that anyone who is learning from me either sees an improvement in their studies because no amount of tuition should be wasted because of a person who is providing a low quality service.
