Tutoring Experience

Tutorial Experience:
My tutoring proficiency shines through consistently uplifting students to exceed their projected grades. Feedback often highlights the enhanced confidence students feel within their classroom settings. I help all my students thrive in the competitive environment of the classroom. Here are testimonials from some satisfied parents and students:

Godolphin and Latymer school, Hampton School and Kingston Grammar school: ‘Ailish has tutored all three of my children in Maths for 11 plus exams and GCSE. She is an exceptional teacher - very patient and kind and able to make Maths accessible, understandable and enjoyable for a wide range of abilities. Both my elder children achieved A* in Maths due to her guidance and support. I would thoroughly recommend Ailish as a tutor.'

Hampton School: “Ailish helped me achieve an A* at GCSE and an A* in my A-Level maths. She answered any questions I had, patiently helping me through more difficult questions. My confidence in class increased and was reflected in my results.”

Oratory School: ‘Ailish tutored our son in maths at GCSE level and we can highly recommend her. Our son found her way of teaching made sense of a subject in which he struggled in the classroom environment. This 1 to 1 teaching, combined with Ailish's gentle and patient approach, resulted in a big improvement in his understanding of the subject and his results.’
