Find A Tutor

I have been supporting Bachelor, Master and PhD students in the fields of Economics and Management for over 10 years. I have also successfully advised students on academic and professional applications and career choices.

I have been working in financial services (asset management, banking and fintechs) for 9 years as well as founding and running consulting and technology companies. I graduated from LSE with an MSc in International Political Economy.

I am returning to tutoring after having to withdraw from my position as a Pupil Barrister due to family illness. I offer my tutees a personalised 1-2-1 service with notes that are tailored to the tutee's course and learning style. I am a highly motivated tutor and independent learner. I am passionate about teaching, learning and professional development.

I have held many varied teaching/ mentoring and tutoring positions. I care deeply about all of my tutees and helping them succeed. I am happy to help my tutees both academically and professionally as I provide services that cover academic modules, dissertation planning, essay marking, CV writing, job application assistance and professional development.

I'm from Malaysia, and I can speak in English, Mandarin and Malay. I graduated from Imperial College London with my PhD in Chemical Engineering. I enjoy teaching, and I feel the need to help students who require further clarification or have the desire to know more.

I have been in the UK for more than 15 years, and I had many juniors who seek advice from me in terms of preparation for exams, writing reports, preparing presentation and thesis writing. I like to relate advice based on my personal experience, because I believe that is the best way to communicate.

I have a background in law, social policy, sociology, social psychology and criminology. However, I also support a range of subject areas and currently teach a numeracy and computer skills course, as well as tutoring social work, business, and law/social science students.

I offer:

- academic tutoring and skills development, including essay writing, engaging with subject matter, and how to form arguments

- dissertation/coursework support from inception to completion

- holistic support, addressing any aspect of a student's life so that they are better able to focus on their studies

- career and future planning

I have a strong academic background and an in-depth knowledge of universities and what it takes to perform academically. I help my students to succeed on their own merit and to develop transferable skills such as writing and critical thinking. I work holistically with each student so that they can bring any aspect of their lives to the tutoring sessions to be addressed. This provides a confidential space and has a wider focus than more conventional forms of tutoring. My sessions are designed to support, challenge, inspire, and build confidence.

I fell into tutoring when offered some part-time tuition work, during my study of Linguistics and Spanish at St Catherine's College, Oxford. Roughly eight years later, tutoring has become my full-time profession, still with a focus on those two subjects, as well as university entrance to Oxbridge and Russell Group universities for a range of subjects. I am lucky to teach language and linguistics - two subjects which dovetail each other and continually provide new avenues for exploration. I have helped students improve their language grades at all levels, and achieve university offers from Oxbridge, Edinburgh, Bristol, and others. I take an informal but rigorous approach to tutoring, taking advantage of the personal, non-classroom relationship that tuition allows. I have a special (but rarely indulged!) interest in Old Norse and modern Icelandic.

I am a qualified solicitor, specialising in the field of corporate tax. I studied Law at Cambridge University, graduated with a triple First Class degree and was named ‘Cambridge Law Student of the Year' in recognition of academic excellence.

I am also passionate about wellness, and I am a qualified Pilates, yoga and meditation teacher. My first book was published by The Law Society in 2019. My second book will be published by Practical Inspiration Titles in 2021.
