Passionate 11+ tutor with a unique blend of academic rigor and personal experience in preparing students for competitive selective exams. With a PhD in Evolution and Stochastic Search Algorithms, I bring a structured and analytical approach to tutoring.
Having successfully guided both my daughter and son through the 11+ process, securing placements at highly selective schools, I understand the journey from a parent's perspective. My approach combines academic precision with empathetic, student-focused guidance to create a supportive learning environment. Currently a senior consultant at a leading IT company, I leverage my professional and personal experience to foster success for each student.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is highly personalised, focusing on the unique needs and learning styles of each student. Having successfully guided my own children through the 11+ journey, I bring a parent’s perspective and a deep understanding of the challenges and pressures involved in selective school preparation. I use a structured, analytical approach to identify and target each student’s strengths and areas for improvement, creating a supportive, goal-oriented environment.

With expertise in English, Maths, Verbal, and Non-Verbal Reasoning, I tailor each session to build confidence and mastery in these subjects. I work closely with parents, providing regular updates to ensure a collaborative effort that supports the student’s progress and success. My aim is to equip each student with both the knowledge and resilience needed to excel in the 11+ exams and beyond.
