Full time 11 Plus and secondary English tutor with a proven track record.
Highlights
I've been teaching English for 8 years.
For the last several years, I've been developing my own tuition business, tutoring students one-to-one and in small groups.
As a tutor, I've helped many students secure offers and scholarships to top independent schools at the 10+, 11+, and 13+ entry stages. These schools include:
St Paul's Girls' School
St Paul's
North London Collegiate
Westminster
City of London
City of London for Girls
Highgate
South Hampstead
RGS
Hampton
KGS
Putney
Caterham
I’ve also helped students achieve top grades in GCSE English and I'm familiar with the AQA, Edexcel and Cambridge (CIE) IGCSE boards.
I have experience marking GCSE English Language and Literature papers.
I share an 11+ and GCSE English newsletter which has 1.5k+ subscribers.
Currently
An English tutor supporting students for 11+ exams and secondary English.
GCSE examiner for a leading exam board.
Publish a free newsletter with model solutions to 11+ papers and GCSE questions.
Previously
Delivered small group classes for 11 Plus and KS3 students.
Taught English at secondary and prep schools in London.
Tutored for an education consultancy in Beijing, preparing students for 11+ and 13+ entrance exams in the UK.
Prepared students for secondary school interviews.
Tutored international students for the IELTS and academic writing.
From 10 Plus to GCSE English, I will model how to answer every question and task your child may be given.
I believe this method of modelling makes me a particularly effective tutor, as I work through the very papers my students will sit, day in, day out.
In the classroom, students are often handed endless tasks and writing templates but are rarely shown complete, high-quality model responses.
That’s why I make modelling central to my approach: to show what a clear, straightforward response to each question, essay, or piece of writing looks like.
I also live-model during lessons, teaching students the mindset and thought processes needed to gain top marks, so they can fulfil their academic potential.
