Information about Coco

I have a strong academic background gaining 7A* and 4A at GCSE Level with a particular passion for the Arts and Humanities subjects.

From 2009-2012 I studied English Literature at Bristol University, graduating with 2:1 BA Hons.

This degree enabled me to pursue my interest in literary ideas and explore different forms of storytelling.

I have studied texts (poetry, plays and novels) demonstrating the development of English Literature from the Middle Ages to Contemporary Times and I have developed my interpretive and analytical skills. The essays written during my study allowed me to refine my skills in written communication enhancing my ability to articulate ideas and express arguments in a clear and logical manner.

In teaching, I seek to make learning engaging and fun. I value progress and success in achieving set goals. For exams, I am extremely results-driven and strive for my students to reach their full potential.

Availability: I am a full-time tutor with Day and Evening availability across Weekdays and Saturdays. Feel free to contact me to enquire about my availability.

Willing to travel: 50 miles

Experience: I am an experienced Tutor and Mentor with 1500+ hrs of completed tutoring. I have specifically taught a range of ages and levels including: Primary, 11+ Exam, KS2 SATS, KS3 and KS4 GCSE & A Level across many subjects including English Literature, English Language, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Every year, I complete up-to-date 11+ Training Sessions, and have a full understanding of the GL and CEM 11+ and Entrance Examination process, with experience in preparing students for the ISEB Pre-Test. I have had successful students for the top Independent and Grammar Schools in London and the UK. These include: Alleyn’s School, City of London School (Boys and Girls), Dulwich, Francis Holland, Godolphin & Latymer, HABS, JAGS, St Paul`s Wimbledon High and Francis Holland.

I have taught 11+ for 5 years to more than 50 students of which 99% achieve successful entry to their chosen institution.

I am confident teaching these levels as I have completed these exams myself and have received excellent results, particularly A*s and As in GCSEs and full marks on papers for A-Levels.

I am delighted to express my deepest gratitude for the guidance and support provided by Ms Creme throughout my son`s GCSE journey. Her unwavering dedication and expert teaching have been instrumental in helping my son achieve outstanding results, with 9s in both English Literature and English Language. I`m truly grateful for the time and effort Ms Coco Creme invested in ensuring that my son not only grasped challenging concepts (such as Gothic Literature)but also developed critical thinking skills. I would thoroughly recommend anyone aiming for top marks in GCSE English to indulge in her invigoration lessons.

Coco was wonderful for our daughter. She took her up to 11+, and gave her weekly lessons for both the CEM and GL examinations. She was very engaging and our daughter loved her lessons with Coco throughout. She was inspired by Coco and was keen to practice when each lesson had finished. She ultimately did exceptionally well in the 11+ exams (high pass) and the independent school exams. She got an academic scholarship to our favourite one, so Coco has made our lives very easy. Cannot recommend Coco enough.

Coco is a very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and experienced tutor. Thanks to her help, my son has successfully received offer for his first choice 10+ school. She has worked really hard to support my son`s learning in all areas, including Maths, English, VR/NVR and interview skills. A wide range of teaching methods and materials were applied. We would recommend her to anyone who need a little help for 10+ 11+ entrance exams.

Coco has been an exceptional tutor for my daughter who studied English IGCSE with her. She completely raised my daughter`s English to a new level, making her more competent and most importantly more confident in her knowledge and skills. We were so happy, when she went above and beyond her way to support my daughter. Her attention to reviewing the pupil`s work and determining which home work to give were impeccable. Thank you Coco, for allowing Mina to enjoy English more than before and hoping to tell you her good results in August.

Coco helped our daughter through her 11+ and private school entrance exams. She`s very patient, breaks down tricky topics and explains them well. Coco had been particularly great at improving our daughter`s writings, to the extent that we have received scholarships from multiple schools. I would highly recommended Coco.

Coco really helped our son reach the level required for the 11+ and grammar school entry exams. We had been using the Bond 11+ books, and then around June we found out that the grammar schools actually test to a far higher standard, so we signed up with Coco. Coco gave him a test paper to evaluate his current level, which showed that he struggled to understand the questions properly, and also didn`t know how to answer them in the expected manner. Four months later, and the improvement is truly outstanding. Coco`s guidance and teaching over the months have taken our son from struggling with the test papers to truly enjoying answering them. His creative writing has gone from a step by step sequence of events to properly thought out narrative, that is enjoyable to read. And his understanding of comprehension texts has equally improved by orders of magnitude. He has just passed his entry exams for the local grammar schools, which we don`t believe he would of had a chance of passing if we had not taken on Coco for tuition, thank you so much Coco

I studied for less than a year with Coco for my English Language and Literature iGCSEs because my average English grades had been 5 (C/B). Before finishing my iGCSEs, I was confident in an improved grade because Coco was always thorough and informative when tutoring, making sure I thought about passages and writing essays in ways I hadn’t been taught to or thought of before. Her feedback is always positive and constructive, and her sunny attitude made our sessions pass by without stress while drastically helping me improve. My final GCSE English grades were both 7s (A)!! I attribute this leap in grades solely to Coco, who pushed me and guided me to attain more even when English had become one of my least favourite subjects in light of my unsatisfactory grades despite my best efforts. Coco helped improve my grade and made English a substantially more enriching and enjoyable subject for me, and I can’t thank her enough for helping me improve so much.

Coco has been a wonderful teacher. She brought my son up from a 7/8 in English GCSEs to a 9 within less than a month. She has fined tuned his skills and has given him the confidence he has needed. She also did not shy away from alleviating some of my son’s worries about his upcoming exams and everything going on at school due to Covid. She is more than just a great tutor and I could not praise enough. Thank you Coco!

Coco is a wonderful Tutor. Our son was preparing for his upper school examinations and was struggling. His confidence was low, and he needed help across all aspects of the curriculum. Coco quickly identified his strengths, built his confidence, and worked smartly and effectively to alleviate his weaknesses. With Coco`s support (and a lot of his hard work), he was able to pass his upper school exams, build a huge amount of confidence, and as parents, we can breathe again!

Coco is a fantastic tutor. She is engaging and fun, with such a warm and wonderful manner. My 6 year old son very much looks forward to his sessions with Coco every week. He is always energised and leaves the sessions full of confidence and comments on how much fun he`s had with Coco. These wonderful sessions have really boosted my son`s confidence at school where he has made significant improvements in Maths and English. Coco`s objective is to prepare my son for the 8 plus exams and she is doing a grand job. We are very lucky to have Coco as a tutor.

My daughter is doing English Literature for her AL`s (AQA exam board) and will be sitting her exam in May/June 2022. Coco has been tutoring my daughter for the past 3 months and over that time period Coco has covered AL English Literature across poetry, Shakespeare and prose. Coco is well prepared before any lessons and use the time effectively. Coco maintain very effective communication with my daughter and myself and I receive a feedback about my daughter`s lessons including areas that she needs improvement on a weekly basis. As the lessons are focussed on her AL`s, Coco is good at providing exam tips, especially the ways to prepare and areas to focus when someone is faced with a exam question. Since the commencement of lessons with Coco, my daughter has developed a better interest in Eng Lit and more focussed when answering a question. Based on my experience, I can certainly recommend Coco for any student/parent looking for some additional help for Eng Lit. Dilum

I contacted Coco a few weeks before my daughter`s eleven plus independent school exams. Even though it was short notice, Coco was willing to accommodate her. She was extremely organised and and used the limited time we had to focus on any areas my daughter found problematic. She was kind, enthusiastic and helped boost my daughter`s confidence. Furthermore, she gave my daughter invaluable advice on how to build her stamina so she could remain focused for the duration of the tests (VR/NVR/English/Math) which schools normally expect candidates to take in one sitting. Coco`s positive attitude and encouragement resulted in my daughter being offered a place in our first choice school. Coco, my daughter couldn`t have done it with you. Thank you!

Coco made an instant connection with my daughter. She quickly picked up on areas that my daughter was weaker on and had a plan to address those. She is super organised, and sends any work straight away so that we have the whole week to tackle it. My daughter looks forward to her lessons and is as a consequence working harder in between times. Also, when my daughter is not quite as focussed, Coco is really good at bringing her back into the lesson and not letting her slack - something I really struggle with!

A brilliant tutor (as described by my son). Coco is one of the nicest tutors my son had. Coco takes time to explain everything thoroughly and keeps me updated about my son`s progress. Coco always comes across as a caring and friendly teacher who knows how to motivate my son and get through challenging tasks. 100% recommend.

Coco has been preparing my son for the 11+ for the last few weeks. We started looking at grammar schools at the last minute so her guidance has been invaluable. She is really enthusiastic and has really encouraged my son through this process. I am also really thankful that she looks at my child as an individual and thinks about what is best for him rather than simply drilling him for the test. Would definitely recommend!

Coco is an amazing tutor. She has been tutoring my child for about 2 months now and I have been super mpressed by the progress my child has made so far. In a very short amount of time, she pinpointed exactly what areas my child needs most help with and has focused on that using a varietyof teaching methods and materials. As a result, my child`s confidence in the subject has grown immensely over the last couple of months. She is also very professional, flexible and super organised. Thank you Coco

Coco is great! She is helping my daughter with English and Math and seems to know how to keep a 11-year-old focused after a long day at school.
