Shanti Venkatakrishan

I am a qualified teacher (PCCE) with over twenty years of experience teaching in primary schools, including serving as a class teacher in many local schools. While I initially began my career in business, my passion for education blossomed after successfully coaching my own children through the 11+. This rewarding experience inspired me to pursue private tutoring, where I particularly enjoy helping pupils achieve their full potential through 1-on-1 tailored lessons.

My lessons are carefully designed to match each pupil's ability, focusing on boosting their knowledge, confidence, and independent thinking. I specialize in preparing students for entrance exams to top local and national schools, including King’s College, St. Paul’s, Wilson’s Grammar, St. Olave’s, and Wallington Girls. Most of my students begin preparation from Year 4 onwards, and I also provide comprehensive SATs preparation to ensure pupils excel in this important milestone.

I combine interactive teaching methods with regular progress checks to foster trust in their academic instincts and motivation to learn. Drawing from my extensive experience teaching mixed-ability classes and tutoring high-achieving students, I ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive. As a multilingual teacher, I adapt lessons to meet the needs of pupils from diverse backgrounds, providing an inclusive and supportive environment for all.

I take pride in helping each student reach their potential and would be delighted to support your child’s academic journey.
