Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I graduated with a BA in English from the University of Bristol, where I developed strong writing, analytical and communication skills. After university, I began tutoring full-time and quickly discovered a passion for helping younger students prepare for the Common Entrance. I also teach GCSE English and GCSE History, which gives me a clear understanding of what students will face later on and allows me to help them build strong academic habits early.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is structured, patient and highly personalised. I break down challenging topics into simple, manageable steps so students truly understand the material. I cover all key Common Entrance subjects including Maths, English, Science, History and Geography, with a strong focus on exam technique, timing, and building consistency. I also help students with interview preparation, encouraging them to express their thoughts clearly and confidently.
