Tutor Profile

Juliet

Private English and Entrance Exams Tutor in London

I am a qualified teacher having been awarded a PGCE from the University of Cambridge. I also have a First Class Bachelors degree. I previously taught at Queen's College Preparatory School, London and now teach online for Eton College. I am a member of the professional body for tutors; a member of the Chartered College of Teaching; Qualified Tutor; and the General Teaching Council of England. I regularly undertake CPD courses including safeguarding training. I am also a member and certified agent of the Boarding Schools' Association. I have four young children of my own and enjoy working with children and helping them to become interested in and succeed in schoolwork. All of my children attend UK independent schools and I have extensive experience in this sector. I have helped students prepare for and succeed in gaining entry to top UK selective schools at 4+, 7+, 11+ and 13+. I have also successfully helped students obtain full academic scholarships to several independent schools as well as helping those secure a place who find exams difficult. All lessons are online via Zoom.

Teaching Experience

Qualified from the University of Cambridge with a PGCE. I taught for two years at Queen's College Preparatory School, London before starting private tuition. I have been tutoring for 20 years in English, Maths, Science, Reasoning and Interview Skills. Further private tutoring for 4+, 7+, 11+ and 13+ School Entrance Exams, Scholarship Exams, Common Entrance Exams and the ISEB pre-test. I also provide guidance on school selection and have written a guide to the top independent schools in the UK and their admissions processes. It is never too early to start preparation for competitive school entrance exams and many students prepare for several years.

Tutoring Approach

Tailor made approach for each individual suited to help students get the best grade possible in exams. Homework is given after each lesson and feedback is provided to parents. My students have several online learning tools that they can use. One is very similar to the ISEB pre-test and another is an online reading platform where thousands of books can be read along with comprehension, spelling and vocabulary questions. I also offer an academic assessment for students aged 6 to 16 which gives a detailed analysis of standardised age scores, a full report and consultation. I teach online using Zoom and have helped UK and international students prepare for entrance exams to selective schools such as Eton, Harrow, Radley, Wycombe Abbey, Westminster, King's College School, Magdalen, Guildford High School, St Paul's, Downe House, Benenden, Winchester, Brighton College, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, City of London, Hampton, Concord College, North London Collegiate, The Perse, St Edward's, Charterhouse, Marlborough and Cheltenham Ladies' College. I regularly use WeChat and WhatsApp to communicate with parents that are overseas so I can be easily contacted. I have extensive experience teaching children from all over the world who do not have English as a first language. I have taught children in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, USA, Canada, UK, France, Norway, Switzerland, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, the Seychelles, Mauritius and the Maldives.

Juliet helped my son prepare for 13+ entrance exams. She was an outstanding tutor and gave my son a real confidence boost in a relatively short space of time. My son really enjoyed the lessons and found renewed motivation. He was ultimately successful in the entrance exams and offered a place. I cannot recommend Juliet highly enough. She is a wonderful teacher and we were so grateful to benefit from her vast experience and knowledge.

Tutor response

Thanks so much. I really enjoy teaching your sons!

If you are looking for a tutor who can give a structured and well-organized teaching, Juliet is the best. We have tried different tutors but Juliet so far is the most experienced. She has very structured way of teaching. She assessed my daughter's ability thoroughly and she can spot her problems immediately. She covers all the areas of English and she delivers them in a very organized way. We especially like the way she teaches writing. It is systemic, organized and active. to be honest once my daughter has one lesson she could immediately structure her writing much better than before. I would definitely recommend Juliet to any of my friends
