- GCSE Economics, History, Art & Maths

- A Level Economics & Art

- Oxbridge Preparation

- School Entrance Interview Preparation

I have experience tutoring a range of students in both the 13+ and 11+ entrance exams. I have worked with students from Year 5 to Year 8 preparing for ISEB pre-tests, interviews, the Common Entrance and school-specific exams. Two of my 13+ students went on to receive academic scholarships at their top choice schools: Dulwich College and City of London. I recently worked with a student doing their ISEB pre-test exams, whose target schools are Westminster and Winchester. As a result, I have an understanding of what is required of a student for them to excel at the 13+, as well as the specific requirements which different schools have.

I have tutored students taking the 11+ exam and helped them to achieve places at Highgate, Notting Hill and Ealing and Francis Holland respectively. This means I have an understanding of the London 11 Plus Consortium Exam, as well as the specific requirements which some schools have. My prior experience means that I know the 11+ curriculum, and have an ability to work with younger students to increase their confidence and exam technique, also helping them with strategies to manage their nerves.

Alongside helping students prepare for school entrance exams, I have tutored multiple students in A Level Economics across several exam boards (AQA, Edexcel and OCR) since 2020. Recently, I taught a student whose A Level Economics grade improved from an E in February Year 12 when we started lessons to a high B in their final exam. This is testament to my ability to help students nail their exam technique.

I also teach Maths up to GCSE level. Maths is a very rewarding subject to teach because students’ often benefit hugely from having one-on-one attention when they can ask questions they may feel too shy to ask in big classrooms. Past students have been moved up to the top stream Maths class after a few terms of tutoring with me.

Other subjects which I tutor are French up to GCSE level and History up to A Level. Having studied HSPS at Cambridge and recently completed my MA dissertation, I have excellent essay writing skills which allow me to help students with exam techniques – particularly structuring essays. I have also mentored students doing Oxbridge entrance preparations. For example, I worked with the French Lycée to lead a set of five 2-hour classes focused on students wanting to study social sciences at Oxbridge.

I also teach art, both in classroom settings and as a private tutor. I taught regular GCSE and A Level portfolio preparation classes at Kite Studios, an art school in West London. I also worked as the art teacher at the Collège du Léman’s summer school (elite boarding school in Switzerland).

Biography

I was born and raised in London, in a bilingual French and English family. I went to l'Ecole Bilingue (a French primary school), and City of London School for Girls. I studied Economics (A*), History (A*), Art (A*) and Maths AS (A) for my A Levels. My love of social sciences drew me to studying Human Social and Political Sciences at Cambridge University, where I graduated in 2020. Since graduating from my BA, I have devoted myself to making art and working as a part-time tutor. In 2025, I graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art’s Masters programme in Painting with a Distinction (UCL).

Approach to Tutoring

I am a kind and encouraging tutor who aims to develop my students’ confidence, ability and enjoyment of their subject. I do this by planning lessons which are both rigorous and engaging, carefully selecting questions and materials which will build on the skills my tutee already has. As a creative person, I come up with fresh ways of explaining topics that a student is finding difficult – adapting my approach to the particular learning style of each of my students. I often try to link abstract concepts in Maths or Economics to real world situations the student will be familiar with. I find huge satisfaction in helping students to achieve their goals – be this securing a place for them at their dream university or mastering a particular topic which they find difficult in school – and will go the extra mile to help them fulfil their potential.

When not tutoring

Alongside being a tutor, I am also an artist. I spend the majority of my time outside of classes painting in my studio in Camden. I have exhibited my paintings in venues across London, including the Saatchi Gallery and Terrace Gallery. In my free time, I like going on long walks in the countryside or rock climbing.

What clients say about Anna:

"Anna tutored our daughter in the year running up to her GCSE French exams in 2023 after having struggled with another tutor. Anna did a great job at developing a strong working relationship and trust with our daughter. She was structured in her approach, building her confidence, motivating her and providing tools, an enthusiasm for French and the belief that she could do it. She ended up with a 7 grade, which she was very happy with! A big thank you to Anna for all her support in this.”

" I would not have made the grades for my university offer had it not been for Anna's amazing support during my Economics A Level. Anna helped me to progress in Economics A Level from an E in February of Year 12 to a B (7 marks off an A) in my A Level exam in Year 13. I couldn't have done it without her. "
