Private Maths and English Tutor in Edgware

I am a reliable private tutor, who is London-based. I have been tutoring for over nine years now and have grown a large clientele. I specialize in a range of subjects, 11+, Biology, History, English and Maths GCSE. I also help students who are just starting Secondary school and would like to get ahead of the curriculum in the main subjects such as the sciences, languages, maths, and English.

I went to Stockport Grammar School and have helped many students from different backgrounds to pass through. I teach as I love seeing my students succeed, thrive, and gain confidence and I like to see this as a way of motivating and guiding the next generation. To be stronger, smarter, and more confident in their abilities.

My teaching is unique to my students. I like to understand how my students best benefit from my way of teaching. That is why my one-to-one sessions are so popular, as I take the time out to understand my students and how they absorb information.

Students see me not only as a tutor but as someone who has gone through this process of education and can give them advice and support. I have found from my own experience a teacher can make or break a subject.

When I was studying for my 11+ I applied for Cheadle Hulme Grammer, Manchester High School for Girls, Stockport Grammar School, Hillcrest Grammer, St Bedes, and Withington and I was able to pass all of them. So i feel that I have the necessary experience in studying for 11+. I go to regular teaching conferences to keep up to date with the curriculum and teaching skills. All my students have passed their 11+ exams for their chosen schools and all my GCSE students have achieved the grades they wanted.

My GCSE's consisted of an A* in English literature and English language.

Tutoring Experience

I have been tutoring now for over nine years, and all my students have passed their 11+ exams for Stockport Grammar School, Cheadle Hulme Grammar School, Kings in Macclesfield, Bolton Grammar, Manchester High School for girls and boys, and Withington Grammar. Additionally, I have helped students achieve their goals in the grades they wanted to achieve across their GCSE's.

I am proud to say that I have students who sometimes stay with me for years and others who come back, potentially with their siblings joining.

Tutoring Approach

I like to analyze the students' abilities before I start working with them. Finding their strengths and weaknesses. Working with more visual aids I find is very important, so power points and colored notes are a plus.

I like to do annual ability checks to make sure that the student is learning and I also like to keep the parents in the loop. I feel that with young students to keep them engaged in the subject we need to do different activities and also make sure the student does not feel like he/she is not progressing.

Everyone learns in different ways. Which is why I am very patient and understanding with my students. I work my students hard and make the lessons worthwhile but I always make sure that they enjoy the lesson and don't even realize that the knowledge is sinking in. The best thing for a teacher is to help the students find a passion for learning.
