I have over six years' experience tutoring students to take the Grammar school entrance exam. I have been teaching for twenty years and picked up many techniques and strategies that not only allow students to pass an exam but to spark a love for learning, an ability to try, even when they might be wrong and most importantly nurtured a confidence within them that grows over time and allows them to succeed in the 11 Plus as well as in their day-to-day studies at school.

Seeing my students flourish and succeed is what I love about my job. But also watching them learn the value that focus, hard work and dedication can bring to their lives as they learn with me makes it all worthwhile. I know from experience where students often stumble and am ready to support them and their families through the challenges that eleven plus inevitably brings. I tackle the topics methodically and thoroughly so the student can feel confident that no matter what the question is they have the knowledge and skills to answer it with confidence.

I work closely with the parents ensuring everyone is happy with the direction of the lessons. I do an initial benchmark test to see where we are starting from and then routinely test along the way to check progress and understanding. I try to keep lessons varied and fun, whilst maintaining a focused approach to the wide range of topics within the test.

I am a dedicated and experienced professional who loves working with children and brings a calm and relaxed approach which builds confidence and knowledge within the student removing the stress and pressure that studying for this difficult exam can bring to the family.
