My journey as a tutor began during my GCSE years in 2010 when I started helping peers overcome academic challenges. This early passion for teaching grew into a lifelong commitment to empowering students to excel. Over the past 9+ years as a professional tutor, I have amassed over 15,000 hours of teaching experience across a variety of scenarios, from supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) to guiding those preparing for exams, navigating enforced gap years, transitioning schools, or pursuing homeschooling.
I have taught students across multiple curriculums and exam boards, including Edexcel, OCR, AQA, WJEC, and IB, tailoring my approach to meet their unique academic requirements. My expertise extends to both traditional classrooms and modern online learning environments, utilising innovative digital tools to ensure interactive and engaging sessions.
School Experience:
I have had the privilege of teaching at prestigious institutions such as:
• St. George’s Weybridge
• The British School of Lanzarote
• Repton School
These roles allowed me to refine my teaching strategies and foster academic excellence among diverse student groups.
Entrance Exam and Interview Preparation:
I have extensive experience preparing students for entrance exams and interviews at top independent schools, including:
• St. Paul’s (Boys and Girls), Westminster, Eton, Harrow, Godolphin and Latymer, Wycombe Abbey, and others.
For 7+/8+, 11+, 13+, and 16+ entrance exams, I focus on developing critical thinking, mastery of subject content, and confidence for interviews, ensuring students excel in both written assessments and personal presentations.
Homeschooling Support:
I have supported homeschooling students across various subjects, creating tailored curricula and fostering a structured learning environment that ensures steady academic progress and preparation for future qualifications.
Undergraduate and Adult Learning:
My expertise extends to undergraduate-level support in Computer Science, Mathematics, Economics, Business Management, and Finance, where I guide students through complex coursework, research projects, and exams. Additionally, I work with adult learners to develop foundational and advanced skills in coding, data analysis, and financial literacy.
