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

Over eight years I’ve guided learners from KS3 to post-offer Oxbridge candidates. I began with 11+ Maths and English, expanded to GCSE and A-level Biology and Chemistry, and now focus on ESAT strategy and veterinary medicine applications. My support covers syllabus mastery, past-paper drills, personal statements and mock interviews. Students appreciate my explanations, revision plans and insider insights; 95 % have secured places at their preferred universities, many jumping two grade boundaries. I also mentor mature applicants through study plans.

Tutoring Approach

Lessons start with plain-language explanations that anchor each concept in everyday examples. We then build active-recall notes, practise examiner-style questions and track progress with shared mark schemes. I adapt pacing through quick polls and encourage students to teach back topics, sharpening reasoning and exam technique simultaneously.
