My Experience
I have over 7 years experience teaching English, Maths and the Sciences at primary and secondary school level (KS2 to GCSE). I have taught at Hayes School in Bromley and have tutored students attending a wide variety of schools including Westminster, St Paul’s Girls School, Godolphin & Latymer and Wellington College. I have helped students prepare for entrance exams into schools such as Downe House, Oundle, Harrodian and Emanuel School. I have also taught students attending international schools such as Southbank International and ACS Hillingdon (IB and American curriculums respectively).
I have experience in preparing students for 11+, 13+ Common Entrance, Independent School entrance and GCSE examinations (AQA, EDEXCEL, OCR and IGCSE). I also have experience delivering lessons in person; over Skype; in a group; via tailored courses for home-schooled students; whilst travelling abroad and travelling within the UK with clients for intensive Holiday/Residential tuition.

My Reviews
"I cannot recommend Theodora enough, my daughter had lost all confidence in her abilities in the run up to her GCSE's. With Theodora's expert help and positive attitude she helped build a new confidence and genuine interest in learning in such a short space of time. She was very upbeat and energetic and this in turn rubbed off on my daughter. She is delighted with her results and so are we. Thank you for all your hard work, it's like a miracle has happened!" Katie
"Theodora was a lovely tutor for Ivy - she had a good knowledge of all three sciences at GCSE level (and I’m sure beyond!) and gave Ivy help and confidence in embedding the understanding, as well as the sheer mass of knowledge, that is required for triple sciences. Ivy [achieved A*s in Biology and Physics and] was very close to an A* in Chemistry too - so we are thrilled with her results and know Theodora played her role in helping Ivy achieve them. On a practical level, Theodora was always on time and very helpful the few times we need to rearrange a lesson." Harriet & Ivy
"My daughter found the Sciences amongst her most challenging subjects. Working with Theodora rapidly had a significant impact. The tuition sessions stimulated real interest and learning. Theodora compliments her technical skills with excellent personal rapport. Maia was delighted with her results – 3 A* for Sciences!" Nick & Maia
