Effective Tuition


Children don't always make good progress in large group tuition classes or their school classroom.

I can help.


I am a professional tutor with national and international clients. I have helped secure 11+ places in UK selective schools, both state grammar and independent. I taught for over 20 years in selective independent secondary schools, first as a teacher and department leader, then as senior management. I had a leading role in the selection of 11+ students. I also have an extensive record of tutoring maths at KS3/4 and sixth form, with scores of successful outcomes, including attainment by my students of the highest grades.

I understand why children find exams difficult. I offer a lot more than subject tuition. I can:

  • improve your child's knowledge, understanding and thinking skills

  • increase your child's exam proficiency

  • increase your child's confidence

  • build your child's overall strength as an examinee


Every day, I use my understanding of the science and the psychology of learning and performance to increase children's chances of success. Whether yours is a child:

of high ability and high ambition --or-- who struggles with the tight timing of the papers --or-- who is overwhelmed by exam stress and/or underperforms --and-- all in between,

I can help your child to really improve and feel positive about exams. I can enable your child.
