MSc Real Estate, University of Reading (Distinction)
BA Ancient History, University of Bristol (2:1)
I have been tutoring for 10 years specialising in the 7+ and 11+ entrance exams. I also teach KS2 & KS3 Maths and English; History to A level and I can offer general support with academic confidence and homework.
I am also a qualified and practicing CBT therapist. I utilise my knowledge of psychology in my tutoring, to ensure my students go into their exams confident and prepared. Mindset is crucial for exam success. It is also so important for SEND pupils who so often lack confidence and doubt their own ability, by working on confidence building activities, their academic performance and their view of academia and school can transform.
I absolutely love tutoring – it is incredibly rewarding helping students to overcome learning obstacles and achieve their academic goals. I do this by carefully listening to my students’ needs and tailoring my teaching approach to their particular learning style. I also utilise a range of teaching strategies and resources to create an engaging, dynamic, and enjoyable learning experience. Fundamental to my tutoring approach is instilling confidence – I put particular emphasis on building confidence in each session as I believe this is essential to a student’s overall development and progress. It is especially fulfilling to equip students with the lasting confidence they need to succeed.
Outside of tutoring, I love literature, art, yoga, gardening, languages (I have 2 hours of French lessons a week) and long walks in nature.
