Patient, structured tutoring in maths, English and the sciences, built around how your child actually learns and what their next exam asks of them.
Online sessions · Home visits by arrangement
Each subject starts from the gaps, not the syllabus page number. We rebuild the foundations first, then practise the exam skills that turn understanding into marks.
Lower secondary to advanced level
From fractions that never quite clicked to calculus that suddenly feels fast, we slow down, find the sticking point and practise until it becomes routine.
Language and literature
Close reading, confident essays and clear writing. Students learn to plan an argument, choose evidence and say what they mean in fewer words.
Biology, chemistry and physics
Concepts first, then the calculations and long-answer questions. Diagrams, worked examples and short recall drills keep ideas from fading.
No guesswork about what happens in a lesson or why. Every student follows the same simple rhythm, adjusted to their pace.
A short, free conversation with parent and student about goals, worries and upcoming exams.
Relaxed diagnostic work that shows where understanding is secure and where it wobbles.
Focused lessons that mix new material, recall practice and exam-style questions.
A brief written update after each block of lessons, so everyone knows what has improved and what comes next.
Choose the format that suits your family. Many students mix them, going online during term and meeting in person before exams.
Live one-to-one sessions with a shared whiteboard and worked examples saved afterwards for revision.
In-person lessons at your kitchen table, for students who focus best with paper, pencils and someone beside them.
Short, intensive runs of sessions before mocks or finals, built around past-paper practice and timing.
Most students aren't bad at a subject. They're missing one small step that everything else depends on.
I tutor because I love the moment a student stops guessing and starts reasoning. My lessons are unhurried but purposeful: we talk through mistakes openly, keep a tidy record of what's been learned, and practise until the new skill holds under exam pressure.
I work with students who are catching up, keeping pace or aiming higher. What they share is a wish to feel less anxious and more in control of their own learning. You can read more about how that works in how sessions work.
Anything not covered here can be answered in the free first chat.
Yes. After the first chat, the baseline session works as a trial. You can decide afterwards whether weekly lessons feel right, with no obligation to continue.
Most lessons run for an hour. Younger students sometimes start with shorter sessions, and revision blocks can be longer when practising full papers.
Life happens. Let me know as early as you can and we'll find another time that week wherever possible. Cancellation terms are shared clearly before lessons begin.
You'll receive short written progress notes after each block of lessons, covering what's improved, what still needs work and the plan for the next few weeks.
Earlier is calmer. A term or more gives time to fix foundations, but short revision blocks can still make a meaningful difference closer to the date.
Tell me a little about the student and the subject. I'll reply by email to arrange a short conversation at a time that suits you.
