I’m a friendly, experienced tutor based in Dulwich, with over 10 years of tutoring experience across a wide range of ages and subjects. I began tutoring at 18 while studying at Newstead Wood School for Girls and later ran my own successful tutoring business, specialising in one-to-one support for children aged 3 to 18, including those with SEN.

I hold a BSc in Criminology from the University of Southampton, and my academic background includes A-Levels in Biology, Economics, Classical Civilisation, and Philosophy & Ethics. At GCSE, I achieved 3 A*s, 5 As and 3 Bs, with top grades in Maths, English and Triple Science.

I currently tutor a wide variety of students, from KS1 to A-Level, and I pride myself on tailoring my teaching style to each learner. My sessions are engaging, encouraging and focused on helping students build confidence and reach their full academic potential. I have a strong track record of improving results and am particularly passionate about developing a love for learning in the students I work with.

With a warm, approachable style, I’ve built long-term relationships with many families—some of whom I’ve supported for several years. I also have an excellent network of fellow tutors, which gives me access to a wide range of resources and fresh approaches that I regularly bring into my teaching.

Availability: My availability is flexible and I can accommodate various schedules as I have a car and cycle for my commute. I am currently available Monday-Thursday after 5:30pm, Fridays from 3pm, Saturday and Sunday 8am - 1pm.

Experience: Over the past 10+ years, I have tutored students across a wide range of subjects and age groups—from Early Years and Key Stage 1, right through to GCSE and A-Level. My experience includes preparing students for SATs, 11+ and entrance exams (including verbal and non-verbal reasoning), as well as providing ongoing support in core subjects such as English, Maths, and Science. I have also supported students with A-Level subjects, including Economics and Classical Civilisation.

In addition to private tutoring, I’ve worked in a primary school for children with disabilities and have extensive experience supporting students with a variety of SEN needs, including dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, and processing difficulties. This has allowed me to develop a flexible and creative teaching approach, adapting methods to suit each individual learner.

I believe in creating a positive and encouraging learning environment, where students feel confident to ask questions and engage at their own pace. I am also first aid trained, and always prioritise my students’ wellbeing alongside their academic progress.

Tutoring has been a genuinely rewarding journey for me, and I continue to learn from every student I work with.
