About Me

I am a dedicated British-born teacher with over 30 years of experience in the field of education. My passion for teaching drives me to instill a love of learning in my students and to help them realize their full potential. I believe that learning is a lifelong journey and should be a cornerstone of every family’s values. To this end, I strive to cultivate in my students a genuine enthusiasm for learning, coupled with a thirst for knowledge.

Teaching Experience

With a broad teaching background, I have successfully guided students across the entire primary age range (from nursery to Year 6), as well as Key Stages 3 and 4 (GCSE) and A Level. My experience includes preparing students for a variety of assessments, including KS1 SATS, KS2 SATS, KS3 SATS, and GCSE examinations, as well as grammar school entrance exams (7+, 11+, and 13+).

I offer personalized tuition in Mathematics for:
KS2 (Years 3-6): Covering numbers, shapes, area, measurements, angles, geometry, data handling, graphs, algebra, and problem-solving.
KS3 (Years 7-9): Focusing on a range of topics to build a solid foundation.

11+ Entrance Exams Preparation

Starting preparation in Year 4 is crucial for success in the highly competitive 11+ exams. I offer thorough tuition in English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning, utilizing past test papers to familiarize students with the exam format. Group activities enhance students' collaborative skills, crucial for any additional interviews or group tasks during the selection process. With personal experience of the 11+ exams, I understand what it takes to succeed.

Imagine a learning experience crafted just for your child, where each lesson is a masterpiece designed to ignite curiosity, build confidence, and foster resilience. That’s exactly what I offer. Each lesson is meticulously tailored to meet the individual needs, abilities, and learning styles of my students. My mission is to create engaging, challenging lessons that not only prepare students for exams but also inspire a lifelong love of learning.

What Makes My Lessons Exceptional?

Bespoke Learning: Every lesson is crafted with your child in mind, addressing their unique gaps in knowledge and leveraging multi-sensory, hands-on methods to make learning both effective and enjoyable.

Dynamic Activities: Our sessions are rich with a variety of activities:

English: Dive into spelling, punctuation, grammar, vocabulary-building, comprehension, and creative writing.
Mathematics: Engage with topic revision, introduction of new concepts, and practice with past paper questions to reinforce learning.

Homework with Purpose: Homework isn’t just a task; it’s a crucial part of our learning journey, designed to consolidate knowledge and ensure continued progress.

Why Group Tuition is a Game-Changer

At the core of our approach is the transformative power of small group tuition. Here’s why our groups are designed to be exceptional:

1. Tailored Group Dynamics: Groups are organised based on students’ abilities, ensuring that everyone progresses at a comfortable pace. Lessons are thoughtfully scaffolded, with practical activities that make learning both engaging and effective.

2. Supportive and Fun Environment: Unlike one-to-one sessions that can sometimes feel intense, our group lessons foster a supportive atmosphere where educational games and interactive activities make learning both enjoyable and less intimidating.

3. Personalised Attention:With an average group size of just 4-6 students, I can offer dedicated attention while creating a collaborative learning environment. This balance ensures that every student receives the support they need to shine.

The Transformative Benefits of Group Tuition

1. Enhanced Problem-Solving Skills: Students tackle complex problems together, leveraging diverse perspectives and strategies, which may be challenging to explore independently.

2. Collaborative Learning: Students benefit from pooling their knowledge and skills, learning from one another as well as from the instructor, creating a richer educational experience.

3. Deeper Understanding: Group discussions and explanations help students refine their understanding and grasp concepts more thoroughly.

4. Improved Communication: Articulating thoughts and ideas in a group setting helps students develop vital communication skills, preparing them for future academic and professional success.

5. Unique Perspectives: Group settings encourage students to develop their individual voices and perspectives, boosting confidence and self-expression.

6. Inspiration and Role Models: Working with peers provides students with role models and inspiration, motivating them through the example set by others.
