About me
I have, since 2014, amassed over 13,500 hours of experience as a private tutor – 8000+ hours of which has been for the 11+ – covering the full spectrum of English Literature and Language, English as a Foreign Language, 11+ and Common Entrance exam preparation (including ISEB, CAT4, CEM, and Consortium), UCAS and Oxbridge entrance (ELAT and interview) and US university applications (including SAT prep and admissions essays). I have worked with SEND learners, including those with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, visual processing and phonological memory issues, ADHD, and ASD. I have tutored residentially in Singapore, India, and Switzerland, and have taught and worked with young people in China, Zimbabwe, Jordan, and Sierra Leone. I am currently a Visiting Tutor to undergraduates, with marking, curriculum and assessment duties, and teach three first-year seminars on the theory of the novel from the 17th century to the present.
I have successfully prepared students for entry to schools including Eton, Harrow,
Winchester, Westminster, St Paul’s Girls, St Paul’s Boys, Radley, Wellington College, Godolphin & Latymer, Latymer Upper, Ibstock Place, Dulwich, Highgate, Kingston Grammar, Cheltenham Ladies’ College, City of London School for Girls, City of London School, Lady Eleanor Holles, Queen’s Gate, Queen’s College, NLCS, KCS Wimbledon, Putney High, Channing, Francis Holland (Regent’s Park and Sloane Square), Hampton, Forest, RGS Guildford, Epsom College, Notting Hill & Ealing, UCS, Mill Hill, Wetherby, Brighton College, Emanuel and the Harrodian.
At GCSE, A Level, and Pre-U, my pupils have gained top grades, many of which have been 2-3 grade boundaries beyond their mock results. My students applying for UK universities have successfully gained places at universities including Oxford, Cambridge, St Andrews, Durham, UCL, KCL, Edinburgh, York, and Bristol: and in the US, Barnard, Vassar, Tulane, Wisconsin-Madison, NYU, Boston, Chicago, UCLA, Georgetown, and Michigan.
