I have over 8 years' experience tutoring Maths and Science, English, and VR/NVR from KS1 to A Level - covering the National Curriculum and AQA, OCR and Edexcel exam boards, and have helped pupils with their 11+ entry to schools such as King's College School Wimbledon, Harrow and Eton.

I have home-schooled pupils in Maths and Science at KS3 and GCSE, undertaken pro bono work at Godolphin and Latymer helping prepare pupils for their Maths 11+ through The Bridge programme, at St Paul's for NVR, and have also run GCSE Biology revision courses. I have also undertaken training led by a leading examiner in all exam boards.

I have helped pupils feel comfortable with the daunting transitions between primary and secondary school, and from secondary school into 6th form. I took part in the “Science into Schools” programme at Durham University, teaching Year 6 Science at a local primary school. I was also a Nursery practitioner for two years, helping pre-schoolers learn to read and write, introducing Numeracy and Science.

I have just finished an MSc in Neuroscience at King’s College London and was awarded Distinction, and the Henry McIlwain Award. I graduated Durham University with a 2:1 in Natural Sciences (Mathematics and Biology). I am currently also pursuing a career in acting and voice over.

I grew up on the south coast in a tiny village in Hampshire and went to Sherborne Girls School where I achieved 9A* and 1A at GCSE; A*AA in A Level Maths, Further Maths and Chemistry respectively. I took AS Level French and Classical Civilisation and was awarded a 6th form academic scholarship.

“My daughter has now completed her Easter sessions with Grace. They went really well and she loved the sessions and said that she learnt a lot. We all commented on how upbeat and enthusiastic Grace was and wish all teachers could be like that!”

I aim to improve pupils’ confidence in their own abilities to help make STEM subjects seem much less daunting. I strive to create an environment where pupils feel able to ask questions and be themselves. My online tutorials make the most of interactive online whiteboards and quizzes, so pupils can engage with the content in the same way as they would in person. I tailor tutorials to each individual student’s needs, helping them find their own passion and enjoyment in the subject.

I love acting – I have been in productions in the West End, taken shows on tour across the UK and worked as a voice over artist. I enjoy finding new places to eat and am always trying to become a better cook. I played lacrosse throughout both school and university.
