My Summary
About Me
I am a private tutor and childminder based in N12. I have been tutoring privately for 5.5 years. I have helped children to pass the entrance exam for: Henrietta Barnet; Dame Alice Owens, QE Boys and Latymer. I am enthusiastic, driven and organised with a passion for helping children develop. I am patient and always use creative methods to engage with my students in order to make learning fun. My communication skills are always clear and concise and I take the time to inform parents of their child's progress and any concerns I may have after every session.
My Experience
I have 6.5 years of experience tutoring children aged 4-16 in Maths and English. I have a strong knowledge of what national curriculum entails. I am experienced in the preparation for the: Year 1 phonics test, Year 2 SATs, 11+ exams, Year 6 SATs and English Language and Literature GCSE's. I have also received sensitivity training in working with children who have learning difficulties and are on the autistic spectrum.
I also have 9 month's experience as a childminder for a toddler and her eight year old brother. I had sole care of the toddler for around 6 hours a day and both of them for up to 12 hours a day on the weekend. I was in charge of ensuring they were always safe and fed and came up with educational activities that were engaging for them.
My Qualifications
10 A-B GCSE's including an A in English Language and a B in Maths
ABB at A Level in Classical Civilisation, Psychology and English Literature & Language
I do not have a driving licence.

I’ve described my experience below; using factual evidence (i.e. from emails/texts/WhatsApps) should it be denied or disputed.
The trial lesson went well, she was passionate about teaching and I was keen to proceed.
My profile/advert/message had said that I was looking for a tutor for Tuesday and Friday evenings although alternative times could be discussed. Based on her availability, we agreed on Tuesdays and Saturdays. She offered to discount her fees, I took her up on her offer and suggested 20%, and she agreed.
Her Ts&Cs said lessons were to be paid for a minimum of 24 hours in advance. I said I wasn’t OK with the advanced payment and could pay immediately after each lesson by online transfer and she agreed. Her Ts&Cs also said that cancelled/missed sessions are non-refundable. Her Ts&Cs also said that she had a grace period of 15 minutes, that if the student did not show up after 15 minutes then it would count as a missed session and would be charged in full and no refund would be offered.
I said I was ready to commit to the discussed hours until further notice and had no intention of cancelling any lessons; that I never did with our previous tutor whom we worked with for 15 months. I said that however, life happens and her terms needed to accommodate situations where the client had no choice but to cancel a lesson. I said I could agree to the following “Each party agrees to give the other party 30 days' notice of the cancellation of a lesson. The parties shall collaborate to reschedule the lesson for a date and time that is suitable for both parties. In the event that a suitable date and time is not agreed upon, the lesson shall be deemed as permanently cancelled and will not be charged for. Should the student be late for a lesson, the lesson shall proceed from the time that the student is available to join. The tutor shall not be obliged to extend the lesson to make up for the lost time.”
Her reply? “If you cannot agree to my terms as they are, then you are more than welcome to find another tutor. I have already lowered my weekly pricing significantly and made amendments to my schedule to accommodate your needs. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.”

To date, not one of my other clients, nor prospective client has had a single problem with my t&cs. These are industry standard. You are the first. You have clearly had an issue with these and I was not, in this instance, able to accommodate your dislike of them. As a result, you did not take up my services. End of.
Your one star rating reflects your problem with the industry standard t&c's, not my teaching abilities.
Also, I do not appreciate you copying and pasting the contents of our private and confidential emails - I find this highly unprofessional (contravening GDPR
