I have successfully helped my students achieve A* on their examinations for GCSE, IGCSE, 11+ and 13+ Entrance Examinations. My students have been successful in gaining entrance into Westminster, St Paul's Boys School, Latymer Upper, Wycombe Abbey, Dulwich, St Mary's Ascott.

Tutoring Approach

I believe in a creative approach to learning. Engaging lessons, application and feedback is always key. My work with my pupils involve creating a program that suits my students needs, we map out goals and assess our goals every week. In addition, my knowledge of the British School system is an asset, as I am able to help pupils excel in their entrance exams and be prepared for the year ahead.
