English & Maths Tutor | Real-World Learning That Sticks

I teach English and maths not just for exams, but for life. Whether it’s KS3, GCSE, resits, or 11+ preparation, I help students build confidence, sharpen skills, and see the bigger picture.

Before becoming a full-time tutor in 2020, I spent 25 years managing multi-million-pound accounts in top London ad agencies. Originally trained in theatre (gaining a BA Hons in Performing Arts, Drama), I bring creativity, clarity and a fresh perspective to every lesson.

Because I didn’t come through the traditional teaching route, I don’t just offer traditional textbook answers. Whilst I keep abreast of the curriculum and have most experience preparing for AQA and Edexcel papers, ongoing lessons are exam-board agnostic. I connect learning to the real world. My students don’t just learn the WHAT, they understand the WHY and the WHAT FOR.

I also volunteer with a charity supporting disadvantaged children. I believe every child should be able to benefit from one-to-one tuition. Last year, I was very proud to have been named the charity’s Volunteer Tutor of the Year for my engaging lesson content and approach.

My students often tell me that I “talk like a real person.” That’s because I am - one with a life outside the classroom and a passion for helping young people thrive within it.

Availability: I work hard to accommodate all requests so let me know what works for you and we can go from there. It’s worth noting that the peak slots tend to be between 1700 and 1900 on Monday-Thursday and these times tend to get booked up quickly in advance. Any flexibility you can offer is therefore helpful. I am available every weekday from 10am until late evening as well as all day Saturdays. Requests for Sunday lessons are dealt with on an individual basis.
