Danielle

Highly successful, flexible and reliable 7+, 8+, 10+ and 11+ expert tutor. Corporate member of The Tutors` Association. My most recent teaching position was at The Lady Eleanor Holles School, four years ago, before I decided to take the plunge to become a full-time tutor and haven’t looked back since! I am one of the best in the area. This is justified by the huge demand for my tuition service, my hourly price and the extremely high success rate of students passing all exams that they apply for (I am non-selective). 100% of children that I have tutored, that have had regular sessions and have undertaken my mocks and interview practice, have been accepted to at least one of their choice schools. But most commonly, more or all of their choices. Most importantly, the increased confidence of my students is always evident- along with my pastoral care and teaching my students skills for life. I tutor for all entrance exam subjects competently: English, mathematics, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. Homework is always given and is dependent on need and requirement. It is given to consolidate, extend or assess learning.
My price also reflects my extraordinary success rate year on year, my qualified teacher status, my varied and advanced teaching experience, my secret knowledge of exam formats and interview questions for all schools in the area, the amount of resources that I constantly purchase for each child and the conferences and courses I attend to keep up-to-date with teaching developments. I have been a qualified and experienced teacher for twelve years, including a post as an assistant headteacher of mathematics and English. I consider teaching experience vital for being an excellent tutor as I have first-hand knowledge and experience of the curriculum and a versatile approach to teaching it effectively. In addition to teaching exam subjects, I can also assist with scholarships, such as performing arts and art. I gain most of my clients through word-of-mouth but I am always open to finding new clients. I have exceptional drive and motivation to get each child through their exams. Nothing is too big or too small.
I am extremely flexible and spend most of my working week undertaking administration for my lessons/ mocks or liaising with parents (in person, by email or phone) or researching and purchasing resources/ courses that could enhance my teaching. I give advice about schools and
My clients include those that are publicly well known as-well-as those from the general public. I am a 100% committed tutor; one that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for additional phone discussions or extra homework if needed. I am also there to support and to be a sounding board for parents- to help advise and reassure, to be a pastoral and academic coach as well as an effective tutor. I am constantly in communication with parents throughout the working day. We work as a team to achieve the best for your child.

Experience: I have management experience as a Leader of Learning and as an Assistant Head Teacher. I have also taught in both the state school sector and the private school sector, including The Lady Eleanor Holles School, all of which I have equally enjoyed. I am aware that they all have very different approaches, but from experience they could enrich each other by sharing information.

PUBLISHED CO-AUTHOR
I am also a published co-author and have participated in writing a book about `teaching`. In the future I plan to write children`s books as this is a passion of mine.

INTERVIEWS
I have always been very competent at interviews and this comes in very useful for preparing your child for their private school interviews, as i believe that in order to boost the success of children, one must obviously be very competent in a subject or skill first.
