I am a fully qualified, UK-trained teacher and an experienced English, Maths, 11+, Russian, Dutch and RAF entrance exam tutor with proven track record in results and ability to successfully personalise my students' learning, based on their individual circumstances and preferences.

Over the last 11 years of my educational career in my role of a teacher and a private tutor, I have successfully prepared my students for their SATs, 11+, GCSEs, A-Levels and RAF entrance exams. I am passionate about supporting my students in rising their attainment levels and helping them strive to achieve the best possible academic results.

I find working with students on developing their academic ability and general motivation levels an extremely rewarding experience. My teaching philosophy is to help my students to become resilient and confident learners and to develop positive attitude, enthusiasm and excitement about life-long learning.

In summary, I am an experienced exam teacher: I have a wealth of the expertise and a proven track record when it comes to preparing my students for their exams and supporting them with their revision regardless of the time constraints we might be working within. Moreover, I have 100% success rate of getting my tutees through 11+ entrance exams to the best grammar schools in the county and beyond.

In addition to core school subjects, I really enjoy teaching languages and can provide all levels of support in this area; whether it is learning Russian or Dutch for business, travel or leisure, document translation or interpreting.

I have completed a BA (Hons) degree in education (graduated with First Class Honours), Postgraduate teacher training course (PGCE) and Masters in Education (MEd). I actively teach in British and International schools, including most recently as an Alternative Provision teacher, thus this experience enables me to understand and apply current, most up-to date, teaching techniques and assists me in making the one-to-one learning experience of my students engaging, productive and stimulating.

I am extremely flexible and reliable and I appreciate the importance of meeting the requirements of each one of my students in a shortest time possible. Therefore, I usually meet my prospective students for a free and totally informal chat, prior to agreeing to a programme of study. This allows me to assess your individual needs and design the best bespoke tuition program.
