As an Oxford graduate and qualified primary teacher with 17 years' experience in education, I specialise in helping children build confidence, achieve outstanding academic progress and gain places at leading independent schools.

For seven years, I taught Years 4–7 at a leading London preparatory school, preparing pupils for competitive entrance exams. My students have secured places at top independent schools including King's, Latymer, Wimbledon High, Westminster, St Paul's, Godolphin & Latymer, Harrodian, Francis Holland and Emanuel, with many receiving scholarships and multiple offers.

I hold a CELTA qualification and have five years' experience teaching English as an Additional Language (EAL) to both children and adults. In addition, I have extensive experience of helping children with neurodiversity, including dyslexia, ADHD and autism, succeed.

My lessons are engaging, enjoyable and carefully tailored to each pupil's individual goals, strengths and interests. I focus on building confidence alongside academic skills, encouraging a genuine love of learning. For entrance exams, I provide structured preparation using past papers, targeted practice, exam technique and interview coaching where appropriate.
