Laura

I am a dedicated English specialist with 13 years of teaching experience and a degree from the University of Bristol. I currently teach secondary-level English in Hertfordshire and have extensive experience working in a variety of settings, including teaching English as a Foreign Language to both adults and children in England and abroad.

I specialise in preparing students for the English components and interviews required for admission to prestigious schools, including Brighton College, Wycombe Abbey, Westminster School, and Charterhouse. I am currently preparing students for the highly competitive Westminster Challenge paper. My tailored approach equips students with the skills and confidence needed to excel in these highly competitive assessments.

I offer daytime availability to accommodate international students and those who are not restricted by traditional school hours, providing flexibility to meet their specific needs. I also work extensively with the homeschooling community and support students who cannot attend mainstream education.

Having lived and worked in France, including a tenure at the Lycée Saint Sernin in Toulouse, I bring a global perspective to my teaching. Additionally, I specialise in phonics and early academic development for younger children, ensuring they establish a strong foundation for future learning.

Tutoring Experience

I have significant expertise in preparing students for entrance examinations and interviews for some of the most prestigious schools in the UK, including Brighton College, Wycombe Abbey, Westminster School, and Charterhouse. I currently run classes to prepare students for the CIE examination at Eton College and have extensive experience with the UKiset and ISEB common assessments. My current work also includes preparation for the Westminster Challenge paper.

My work involves supporting students from primary level through to sixth form. For overseas families, I provide comprehensive preparation for English entrance exams and interviews. This includes mock interviews, detailed feedback, and bespoke reports for families upon request.

My approach is built around a detailed evaluation of each student’s current proficiency, helping families understand strengths and areas for improvement.

To accommodate a wide range of schedules, I offer early morning and daytime sessions. My teaching philosophy is rooted in creating engaging, intellectually stimulating lessons that inspire students to achieve their full potential.
