Information about Babette

Hi, I am a Special Needs, Science and Maths teacher living in Worthing who loves teaching. I have been a Science teacher in Chichester, at one at the 6 top West Sussex schools on the current league tables, for the last 6 years, but have been doing tutoring full time since Easter 2014.

I have been teaching for many years and am very good at explaining difficult concepts to my students. I am patient, flexible and creative in my explanations, trying to link difficult concepts to our daily lives to make it easier to understand. I know the syllabus well and also know which parts trip students up and need extra input.

I have tutees from 8 year olds to A-level Science students, and have also helped mature students prepare for Entry Exams and Fundamental Maths courses.

I have done a Chemistry Enhancement Course with Southampton University in 2013.

I have been marking GCSE and iGCSE Physics Exam Papers since July 2014, so I know what the Examiners are looking for during assessments and can help you to reach your target.

I am committed to improving your marks and flexible enough to work around your needs.

I can also help to improve your child`s handwriting.

Don`t delay,
let`s start today.
The exams are on the way!



Availability: Mondays and Fridays 9:30 to 17:30. My school is closed during the Summer break and I have lots of tutoring time slots available to help your student get back on track during the holiday.

I am happy to do a diagnostic test and some catch up sessions during the summer break.
Drop me a line and I will see where I can fit you in.
I do not normally tutor after 5:30 pm or over weekends.

I also run catch up sessions during half terms and holidays and are now taking bookings for the summer.


I can tutor in the comfort of your home for a small travel fee, at my house in Lancing or online.

I am happy to do 60/ 90 or 120 minute time slots to make the travelling worth while. Drop me a line to make arrangements.



Willing to travel: 12 miles

Experience: I have been teaching Science and Maths to 10 to 22 year old for about 20 years now. I have been a private tutor for several years and love to see my tutees gain confidence and reach their targets and move on to pursue their dreams!

I currently have several tutees and they are making great progress. One mum wrote `My son said the tutor sessions were amazing. We just wish we have started earlier!`

Our daughter is very shy and as a home schooled she was seriously behind with the programme. Babette helped her to catch up in only a couple of months time and in a way that did not put the pupil off, she actually loves the lessons. We are very pleased about it. Very effective, friendly and professional at the same time. Good communication with the parents.

My daughter had three sessions with Babette and went over problem areas in GCSE Sciences and Maths. She was kind, listened to what was required and they covered alot in the sessions. We would definitely use her again.

Babette has been amazing- she soon tracked down the missing links in our 13 year olds maths knowledge and has been teaching him in a fun, engaging and thorough way. He actually enjoys the lessons immensely and we are so grateful that she will give him confidence in his school work. She is incredibly organised and sets sensible tasks between lessons that make learning fun and keeps him motivated. Thank you Babette!

Tutors Response :

Thank you!

Your son is a pleasure to teach and a hard worker.

My son made really good progress with Babette. He really enjoyed his sessions with her. She was very patient and had a good way of making maths fun.

Tutors Response :

We would thoroughly recommend Babette as a tutor - having worked with our son in the lead up to his first GCSE science exams in year 10 we feel that he has benefitted hugely from her expertise and grown in confidence. He says "she explains everything really well and doesn`t make me feel awkward about not knowing things". We also found Babette to be very flexible and happy to do extra days in the lead up to the exams as well as make changes when we have had other commitments/holidays etc.

Babette is an excellent tutor and I have certainly learnt a lot from our sessions. She is patient, explains questions really well (especially if you`re someone like me, who really finds maths hard), she`s even made me realise that it isn`t that hard. She covers a lot in an hours session and even shows you different ways to tackle maths problems, so you are able to decide which method is best for you/which is easier. I feel much more confident about my exam, which is approaching fast! I only wish I had started lessons with her a lot sooner. I couldn`t be more thankful for such a great tutor!

Babette is very patient and sets the work at an appropriate level. The sessions cover a good amount of work and Babette usually leaves some homework with hins and tips. My daughter seems to e making progress in maths.
