ABOUT

Classroom to Private Tutoring

I’ve been teaching for 20 years and I qualified as a secondary school English teacher in 2005. I have taught in both state and private schools in the UK and abroad.

In my last classroom role, I was Head of the KS3 English Curriculum and a Lead Practitioner, having been graded Outstanding by Ofsted.

In 2015, after my first child was born, I relocated from London to Marlow and began private tutoring in GCSE English and the 11+. My reputation grew quickly through word-of-mouth recommendations and I soon made the decision to dedicate myself fully to tutoring rather than returning to the classroom.

Supporting parents

I see the 11+ process as a real team effort, which is why I support parents just as much as I support children. It’s not only about the practice papers, it’s about feeling prepared, knowing what’s coming and having the reassurance that your child is on track. I’ll keep you in the loop with regular feedback, webinars, and progress chats, and I’ll share practical tools like summer work packs and confidence-boosting workshops. My aim is to take away the stress and guesswork, so you and your child can approach the 11+ feeling calm, supported, and ready.


I will provide you with:

  • Regular feedback emails

  • Webinars

  • Online progress meetings

  • Summer work packs

  • Summer success workshops

I will make sure you feel informed, reassured, and confident at every stage of your child’s preparation.
