My Summary
About Me
I am a 32-year-old experienced tutor and have been teaching for over 10 years. I teach English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning, Piano, French, and LAMDA.
I am currently preparing students for entrance exams to the top independent schools in the country. I am familiar with all major exam boards such as the ISEB, CEM, GL, Quest, Atom, etc.
When teaching piano, my students have always achieved either a Merit or Distinction in their ABRSM exams.
I love working with children and I get along with the families I work with very well. I have experience tutoring children of all ages and abilities. I have taught SEND children, including those with autism, ADHD, and working memory deficit, and have worked alongside a speech and language therapist specialising in Autism. I also have experience supporting children for whom English is a second language.
I have worked both in tuition centres and one-to-one in family homes. I relate to children extremely well and love incorporating their interests into the lessons. I am friendly and able to tailor my teaching to students of all ages and needs.
I have been offering online tuition for several years and am very familiar with tools to engage the students in this format, such as interactive whiteboards and online educational quizzes and games.
As a babysitter, I like to create a fun, active environment for children, playing games and engaging them in enriching activities.
I have a Psychology BSc from the University of Nottingham, and am currently studying to become a Psychotherapist.
I am based in West Horsley and have my own car.
As well as working as a private tutor independently, I also currently tutor for Winterwood Tutors and Atom Learning.

I hold an Enhanced DBS check.
