I am both friendly and focused, and have a wealth of experience in helping young people to achieve their best.

I currently tutor the 11+ to Year 4 and 5 students in Buckinghamshire. I can help with all aspects of English, Maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning.

Prior to tutoring I worked in some of the UK’s best schools for over a decade. In that time I helped hundreds of young people to achieve top grades in their History and Politics exams.

I was previously a Subject Leader in one of the UK’s highest performing schools, but have stepped away to raise my young family. Typically upwards of 80% of the students in my A Level classes achieved A*-B. The last time one of my GCSE classes faced public examination over 40% of them achieved grade 9 (A**).

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: After gaining a 2.1 in History from Leeds University, I undertook my PGCE History at the world renowned Institute of Education in London. Since then I have spent over 10 years teaching History GCSE and A-Level in London and the South East. I specialise in teaching the Tudors at A-Level (AQA), as well as the reigns of Kings Richard and John, Crime and Punishment, the Cold War, the USA conflict at home and abroad (Edexcel) at GCSE Level.

My previous position as Subject Leader for Politics makes me well placed to cover all aspects of the Politics A-Level course (Edexcel). Particular specialisms include British Politics, American Politics, core ideologies and feminism. I am a current examiner for Politics A Level so have an excellent understanding of the exam requirements.
