About Sarah

I hold a PhD in theoretical physics and I've spent 12 years proving one thing: no student is 'bad at maths' — they've just been taught past the crack in their foundations. My first lesson is always a friendly diagnostic to find that crack.

Then we rebuild. Lessons are interactive on the whiteboard: you solve, I question, we both draw. I specialize in calculus, mechanics, and exam technique for A-level, IB, and university coursework.

In a lesson with Sarah you can expect

  • Diagnostic first lesson — we find and fix the real gap
  • Whiteboard-first: you solve live, I coach in real time
  • Exam technique: marks-per-minute strategy and past-paper drills

My daughter went from a D to an A in A-level maths in two terms. Sarah found a gap from year 9 that three tutors had missed.

She explains mechanics with real examples until your intuition clicks, then the equations are trivial.

First tutor who made me feel smart instead of slow. I actually chose a STEM degree because of her.
