Vetted Tutor

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 began teaching in 2018 and have worked with learners aged 9 to 18 in Bolivia and South Africa. Alongside teaching full classes, I've provided one-to-one support throughout my career. My roles have included preparing students for examinations, teaching Social Studies and coordinating a school's internal tutoring programme. As a private tutor, I've monitored progress and met with families to discuss difficulties and next steps. My work has involved marking assignments and reviewing students' written work.

Tutoring Approach

Bring along something you're working on, or tell me where you're getting stuck. That gives us a starting point, and I'll adjust lessons as I get to know how you learn. We might discuss a passage, use a short video for context or work on a piece of writing together. I'll give you space to explain your interpretation and ask questions, then help you develop your ideas. If an activity is not helping, we'll change it. We'll choose the balance of discussion and written practice according to what you need.
