I'm a tutor who offers regular, bespoke tutoring and home education sessions to support students struggling to achieve their potential. I have a comprehensive approach using a wide variety of resources and techniques, including games to avoid monotony. I help students become more confident and believe in themselves. We even manage to have fun every now and then!

After each lesson I provide detailed reports to cover what we did, provide feedback, and share notes on any homework set.

If you're looking to actively support your child to make the most out of their education, please get in touch – to help you decide if tutoring with me is the right option for you and your family, we can go over any questions you have in a quick phone or video call.

Tutoring Experience

For over 15 years, I have tutored a wide variety of students in their homes, schools and community settings, supporting them to: increase their academic attainment; develop their social and personal skills; gain entrance to top independent schools; and learn to love and enjoy learning.

My approach is comprehensive and very much about the child as a whole. I strive for students to look forward to their schooling, no matter what their needs, and to bring out the best in my students.

Through regular bespoke tutoring, home education and/or mentoring sessions, online and in person, I support students who are struggling to achieve their potential.

Every learner can benefit from a patient tutor who believes in them and will take the time to find the right method that works with their strengths and weaknesses.

With me, students learn how to learn, how to utilise the way their brain works, and how to develop the skills, techniques and habits they need. I ensure my students have balance and feel supported by using different ways of learning, from visual methods to more bespoke techniques.

I have always maintained a special interest in education, with plenty of qualifications under my belt. This has led me to specialise in learning outside classrooms – ideal for home education, young people with SEND or SEMH needs and those who just need a different way of learning than the rigid group lessons that classrooms offer.

Since starting full-time tutoring, I have become a certified member of a number of esteemed professional organisations:
• The Tutors’ Association
• National Association of Designed Safeguarding Leads
• National Association of Special Educational Needs
• Association of Child and Adolescent Mental Health
• Qualified Tutor

Beyond tutoring, I also offer body-doubling, study sessions, reading groups, mock exam sessions, quizzes and plenty of extra-curricular activities.

If you’re looking to actively support your child to make the most out of their education and are willing to take an active role, we could be a good match.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is very much based around working from the ground up: we start with skills and topics that should already have been covered in order to develop confidence, then consolidate and extend existing knowledge, and cover all of the gaps and areas of worry or weakness.

Lessons utilise a wide variety of approaches and resources, including some games, so that we avoid monotony and instead aim for engaging and thought-provoking. We even achieve fun every now and then!

This way, students quickly feel their ability, attainment and confidence bloom and grow, all while developing interest and inspiration in/from the subjects.

I find that even the most reluctant learners quickly start to overcome their fears and anxieties through this style of learning.

At the end of each lesson, you'll get a detailed written report covering what we did in the lesson, feedback, and notes on any homework set.

As well as offering most subjects up to GCSE and 16+, I offer a handful of subjects at A Level and beyond, as well as offering a number of extra-curricular opportunities. Depending on your needs, I also offer mentoring, school selection and application support, and university advice.
