I am a full-time tutor with 3,000 hours of experience. I have had students gain places at schools including City of London (Girls' and Boys'), Dulwich, Epsom, Emanuel, Godolphin & Latymer, Ibstock Place, Latymer Upper, Mill Hill, St. Paul's, University College School, Westminster, and many others.

As part of my commitment to the tutoring profession, I am an active member of its regulatory body, the Tutors' Association. Parents have consistently commented on my ability to inspire and build excellent rapport with their children. In all my tutorials, I endeavour to find a balance between developing exam proficiency and cultural literacy. In our rapidly developing world, I believe it is incumbent on educators to ensure that a liberal education does not fall by the wayside.

I am a UK-qualified Head of Department and teacher at a leading North London school with over ten thousand hours' one-to-one tutoring experience over twelve years. 

​

Each student is an individual, so each lesson is exactly tailored to the student's learning style and needs at that time. After each piece of work, I tell the student what their current strengths and short term goals are. Students can ask questions at any time; I'm always patient and encouraging. For me, it's very important that the student enjoys their lessons and becomes more confident.

"Thank you again for all your tutoring! (My daughter) received offers from all the schools she sat: Habs, South Hampstead, Highgate, Godolphin and Channing. So did (my son). He got offers from St Pauls, Merchant Taylors, UCS, Habs 11+. He will most likely take St Paul's".
