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 have many years of teaching experience, both in schools and giving private lessons, under my belt. In schools I have primarily taught English and Math (at English speaking schools) at middle and high school level, but have also taught at German-, Spanish and French-speaking schools in these respective languages. I have previously also taught at primary/elementary schools.

I have extensive experience tutoring students for the SSAT, SAT, ACT, and LSAT, covering both English/verbal and maths/quantitative components. I have successfully helped high-achieving students excel in these exams, while also supporting those who find these areas more challenging to build confidence and improve significantly. In addition, I have experience preparing students for UK admissions tests including the TSA and TARA, and I am widely experienced with both UK and US university admissions more broadly.

Tutoring Approach

I believe my experience as an educator at all age levels gives me an advantage over more “specialized” teachers because I am quickly able to recognize and work on correcting difficulties that occurred at earlier stages of learning. This is a particular asset in Maths where difficulties in properly understanding concepts such as fractions and equations make life very difficult later on.

I am an enthusiastic teacher and I understand that motivating my students is paramount in creating an effective learning environment. I like to be honest and pragmatic with my students. Admissions tests are (arguably) a necessary evil and I discourage my students from taking them to be an accurate reflection of their full potential.
