Information about Hilary
I have worked as Head of English at two Scottish preparatory schools and I have an excellent reputation for preparing students for ISEB Pretest, CEM and 11+ school examinations. I was lead tutor for Britten Education in Hong Kong and I am a specialist tutor with Atom Learning. I am a fully qualified teacher and registered with the GTC.
I am also a numeracy coordinator, so I have the ability to teach English, Maths, VR and NVR to a very high standard.
Often, I start the journey with a child in year 4 or 5, so I am very happy to work with younger children on literacy or numeracy skills from a young age. I am hugely experienced and a recognised specialist in my field.
Availability: I teach online and have daytime availability, evening and weekend availability. I prefer to discuss this with potential clients.
Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: I have been teaching for 25 years and have been a specialist 11+ tutor for the last 3 years, gaining an impeccable reputation with clients. Last year, over 90% of my pupils gained a place at one of their top 3 schools. I have prepared children for a huge range of independent and grammar schools, including London Consortium.
I use a state of the art, online interactive classroom which is very collaborative, and I have access to a wealth of learning materials. After every lesson, I produce a report with tailored homework (if required).
Over the years, I have built up excellent relationships with parents and pupils alike, and I am adept at scaffolding weak areas whilst constantly pushing children forward to give them the best possible chance of performing well in their 11+ examinations. I am also trained to conduct interview skills sessions.
DBS Check: Yes

Feedback For Hilary (2)

Hiliary has been offering maths tuition for my 11 year old son for the last six months. We have seen a vast improvement in my sons abilities and confidence in his work. Hiliary has a very calm and systematic approach, relaying weekly feedback on progress and seeking parental updates on class performance. My son continues to improve with every session and would recommend Hiliary for any child looking to acquire confidence in approaching school work more generally as well as in mathematics for which we sought her input.
