I have several years of classroom teaching experience, having taught for many years in primary schools across London. Alongside this, I have also privately tutored a large number of both children and adults, on a one-to-one basis, and in a variety of subjects. I mostly tutor in English and Science for children needing a bit of a grades or confidence boost, or to prepare them for entrance exams at 7+, 8+ 11+ and 13+. I also have particular experience in helping pupils coming from abroad to transition smoothly into the English independent school system. Having attended two large public boarding schools, I am very familiar with how their entrance system works.
I am experienced in getting fantastic results and am particularly skilled at tailoring learning to the specific needs of individuals.
I am a fully qualified teacher with many years of successful one-to-one teaching and classroom teaching experience. I have now worked full-time as a professional tutor for seven years.
I attended both Port Regis and Bryanston School as a Music Scholar, before gaining an honours degree from the University of Bristol. I graduated top in my year group at Bristol and won two university awards. My dissertation was later published.
I later went on to gain a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE(M)) from St Mary’s University, Twickenham, and have successfully taught for several years in primary schools across London and Surrey.
I have extensive teaching and tutoring experience, both in the classroom and on a one-to-one basis. I teach children with a wide range of ages and abilities and I have also taught many children with special educational needs and behavioural challenges.
I have particular experience in helping children coming from abroad to gain entry into English independent schools, including scholarship students.
“Katy is superb, she is a very talented teacher and a wonderful person. She is very caring and has a genuine interest in seeing Oscar succeed not just academically but emotionally also. She's been wonderful and I highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Katy has been working with our daughter over the last term - we have seen a distinct improvement in her marks but perhaps most importantly a regained confidence and enthusiasm for science generally. The fact that our daughter loves animals and that Katy was a vet is, of course, a huge bonus. Professional, warm, open and friendly - we’ve been extremely happy with Katy’s work.”
“Katy communicated clearly, vividly but concisely. She displayed in-depth knowledge of the subject matter and delivered the lessons with great skill and empathy. She has an excellent rapport with the children.”
“Katy’s positive energy made the sessions fly by. She gave simple explanations that built to more complex concepts. He is very hopeful about his exam results!”
I find helping children to learn inspiring and extremely rewarding, and I thoroughly enjoy all areas of teaching and tutoring.
My lessons are aimed at helping students to problem-solve, build their confidence, independence and exam technique and boost their creativity. Sessions are fun, challenging and engaging and aim to help the student to really start to enjoy learning. I teach in a friendly and supportive manner, helping to stretch an individual’s academic ability, whilst equipping them with the tools required to tackle exams with clarity and confidence.
In my spare time I like to travel, go to music concerts and art galleries, swim, scuba dive, ride horses and go for walks on the beach with my dog.
