By profession I am a Chartered Certified Accountant with a strong Maths background. Fifteen years ago, when my eldest son was in year 5 I commenced coaching him and a few of his friends for the 11+ exam. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was highly rewarded when they all achieved high marks and Grammar School places. Since then, for the past nine years I have coached several pupils with quite a high success rate, including my youngest son who qualified for a Grammar School place.

My lessons are mainly groups of 6 and after an initial assessment, I design the course content to suit the requirements of each pupil. During the tutoring session the pupils are taught the best methods and techniques to approach each question type and time is spent on improving their vocabulary and Maths. A reasonable amount of homework is set based on the techniques studied during the lesson. To improve speed, accuracy and confidence we work through various practice papers.

Parents are regularly updated on their children`s progress and I am quite happy for them to phone me with any concerns or suggestions.

I live with my husband and our two sons in High Wycombe.

I have a current enhanced CRB certificate.
