Here is what my wonderful students have said over the years...
My daughter was convinced she was ‘bad at maths.’ After just a few months, she not only understands it but actually enjoys it. Her confidence has skyrocketed!
Darryl D, GCSE Maths
Before working with her, my son would freeze at the sight of a essay question. Now, he tackles problems with confidence and even explains concepts to me!
Kerrice, Year 5
No more tears over homework! She gets that my son’s brain works differently and turns lessons into something that makes sense to him. His school reports have never been better.
Mark, year 6
She didn’t just teach her to write—she helped him find his voice
Genine, year 6
We were looking for an 11+ tutor who could support our son without making the process feel overwhelming. From the start, she understood exactly how to engage him. Instead of generic test drills, she used stories, puzzles, and even games to develop his critical thinking skills. She also helped him build resilience—when he faced tricky questions, he didn’t panic, he problem-solved. Thanks to her, he not only passed his 11+ exams but did so with newfound confidence in his own abilities.
Alice, 11+ exams

Trial sessions are one-off paid tutoring sessions lasting 60mins.
1. n the first half I meet your child, understand their goals or exam prep needs, we get to know each other and explore how they love to learn best.
2. In the second half we tackle tricky homework or other learning materials I have prepared to ensure the student gets lots of value from the get go.
3. If we are a fit - great! We can explore the best package sessions for you. If we don't fit or I don't think I can support on this occasion, no problem - it will have been a fun session with no further obligation to commit.
