About Me – Victoria | Experienced Secondary School Teacher & Specialist Tutor

Hello! I`m Victoria – a dedicated and passionate teacher with over 11 years of experience at one of the top-performing secondary schools in Surrey. I specialise in Textiles, Food & Nutrition, and Health & Social Care, teaching across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5 (Years 7 to 13). I also teach English and Geography at Key Stage 3 and provide general learning support to younger students.

My teaching is consistently graded as outstanding, and my GCSE and A-Level students achieve excellent results year after year. Beyond the classroom, I’m a mum of three grown-up children and understand first-hand the importance of nurturing young minds both academically and emotionally.

In addition to teaching, I bring over a decade of industry experience in Textiles and Art & Design, and I run my own creative business alongside my teaching role. This real-world experience enhances the support I can offer students, particularly in Textiles, where I love helping learners express their creativity while meeting academic expectations.

Subjects I Tutor:
Textiles & Art (Years 7–13): Academic support, coursework, design, and practical skills.

English & Geography (Years 7–9): Reading, writing, comprehension, and subject knowledge. I offer structured support in line with the school`s curriculum.

Food & Nutrition (All Ages): General cooking skills, nutrition education, and exam preparation.

General Skills Support (Younger Students): Study skills, confidence-building, and foundational knowledge.

I’m known for my warm, supportive approach and for building great relationships with students, helping them grow in confidence and reach their full potential. Whether your child needs help catching up, preparing for exams, or simply wants to explore their creativity in a more focused way, I’d love to help.

Please get in touch to discuss your child’s needs — I look forward to working with you!
