Teaching is part of who I am. My mother was a teacher, my grandmother was a teacher, and it is quite simply in my blood. I love what I do. There is nothing more rewarding than inspiring children and working with them as they learn and develop. I know the pressures children are under these days, exams are rigorous and competition is tough. But I also know that with the right guidance, support and motivation they will be successful. Each child is an individual, with different strengths and qualities, and the most important thing I have learned in my time teaching is to use these strengths. Hard work and commitment are a must for success, but with me as your guide, we’ll work the smart way, the fun way, the right way, and become successful together.

Founder of Birkbeck Tutoring and ESSEM Ltd

Since early 2011, I have been offering my services as a private tutor and have built up an impressive portfolio of tutees with varying needs and abilities. I am particularly experienced in tutoring my degree subjects, based on my extensive experience, knowledge and proven academic record in both subjects (History GCSE, Grade-A*, History A level, Grade -A, History and Politics Degree-2.1). Furthemore, I have adapted my skills to also become a very effective tutor for the 11+. Most importantly, I have been able to teach and consult effectively to support students and parents through the 11+ process. I am an enthusiastic, friendly tutor, with a passion for the subjects I teach. I believe I have many techniques and relevant advice for students. Essentially, I have the skills to identify potential, increase understanding and inspire confidence in students, enabling them to use their skills more effectively and assuredly. I have also become a bit of an expert when it comes to giving advice on which schools are suited for each student and how to navigate the applications and offers.
