"I have been tutoring since I was 16, and over the past eight years it has grown into a profession I care deeply about. My experience has spanned tutoring centres such as Explore Learning, classroom based teaching through The Tutor Trust and private 1:1 tuition, preparing students for the 11+ and 13+ entrance exams. Working across these different settings has shaped the way I teach. From Explore Learning, I developed a strong grounding in structured Maths and English tuition, assessment led planning and clear communication with parents. Through The Tutor Trust, I worked within primary and secondary schools, including KS3 and GCSE English, which strengthened my understanding of the national curriculum, classroom dynamics and how to support pupils with different learning needs. Alongside this, I have spent several years specialising in 11+ and 13+ preparation, supporting students applying to a mixture of grammar and independent schools across Surrey, London and Manchester. These include schools such as Epsom College, Eton, Latymer, Marlborough, Queen Elizabeth’s, Tiffin, and Trafford grammar schools, amongst others. Each preparation journey is different, and I tailor my approach carefully depending on the school and the child. "

"I have been a primary school teacher for over 30 years, working in state schools across London. I ensure my lessons are pacy and involve a range of active learning tasks. I use Project-Based Learning projects to help transform students' interests into academic excellence and long-term skill development. I empower students through scaffolded instruction by transitioning from direct modelling to independent mastery. I keep students engaged through interactive checkpoints that break down complex topics into manageable chunks. My lessons conclude with an application challenge, turning new knowledge into a skill students can use straight away."

"I am a fully qualified teacher (QTS, University of Roehampton) with over ten years’ experience in independent schools, most recently at The Hall Junior School, Belsize Park. I have extensive experience teaching in Early Years and Key Stage 1, including delivering targeted phonics and maths interventions to support strong foundational learning. I recently completed a Level 5 qualification in Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) at Fairley House School, which has deepened my understanding of supporting pupils with dyslexia and other additional needs. I now work as a 1:1 tutor, providing personalised support to help children build confidence and make meaningful progress. My teaching approach is calm, patient, and child-centred. I believe every child learns differently, so I tailor my lessons to suit each individual, creating a supportive and engaging environment where they feel safe to take risks and ask questions. I am a strong advocate of play-based learning and use a variety of interactive and practical activities to keep lessons enjoyable while reinforcing key skills. I focus on building strong foundations in reading, writing, and maths, while also encouraging independence and a positive attitude towards learning. I take pride in helping children grow in confidence and supporting them to reach their full potential."

"I am passionate about Early Years education and believe the foundation stage is pivotal in shaping children’s confidence, curiosity, and lifelong love of learning. I view teachers as “learning springboards,” creating rich, stimulating opportunities that give children the tools to take ownership of their learning, enabling them to flourish. I aim to cultivate environments where children develop independence, resilience, and strong academic foundations in literacy, numeracy, and thinking skills, balanced with purposeful play and exploration. As an EYFS consultant, I provide tailored, play-based guidance for families, helping children build strong early learning foundations while equipping parents and carers to support development at home. Having taught children from Reception to Year 8 (and with two young children of my own!), I combine classroom expertise with leadership experience as Head of Key Stage 1 and Acting Head of Lower School at Thomas’s Clapham."

"With 25 years of Primary Teaching experience, plus Montessori Teaching experience I have taught young children how to read and write in English, by using a comprehensive phonics program. I have taught older children creative writing and how to use interesting vocabulary in their work to challenge and extend them further. I enjoy teaching English and Maths as well as other subjects in both KS1 and 2. My lessons are fun and engaging and I will assess how you are progressing and plan lessons accordingly."
