My Summary
About Me
I am a results-driven, specialist private tutor with over a decade in education and 6 years focused on preparing students for UK school entrance exams. I work with students worldwide—particularly from China—to gain admission to prestigious independent and grammar schools, including Wycombe Abbey, Eton, St Paul’s, and Westminster.
I tutor 7–16 year olds for 7+, 8+, 11+, 13+, and school-specific entrance exams, including GL, CEM, CSSE, SET, ISEB Pre-Test, and independent papers. I have extensive experience preparing international students for the UKiSET and CAT4, with expertise in building academic English proficiency and vocabulary.
I have a 100% pass rate for students who study with me for six months, and I specialise in creating individualised preparation programmes, tailored to each student’s target schools and goals. My approach ensures rapid progress in English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning, supported by my background as a top UK teacher, school leader, examiner, and exam marker.
I offer 1:1, 2:1, and group online tuition using interactive materials, personalised resources, and ongoing feedback to students and parents. I provide interview coaching with advice on school reports/references and mock exam days to support competitive applications.
My Experience
I have over a decade of teaching and tutoring experience, with the past six years dedicated to preparing students aged 7–16 for competitive UK school entrance exams. My tutoring has helped students gain places at leading independent and grammar schools, including Eton, Wycombe Abbey, Westminster, Harrow, and Cheltenham Ladies’ College, with a 100% success rate for those studying with me for more than six months.
Alongside this, my work as a specialist maths marker for Capita has given me valuable insight into exam standards and assessment. My classroom leadership roles as Head of Maths, Head of English, and Head of Key Stage have strengthened my curriculum knowledge and ability to deliver rapid progress, which I now bring directly into my tutoring practice to help students excel in their entrance exams.
