Notting Hill is home to some of the most renowned schools in London: Norland Place, the alma mater of Chancellor George Osborne, Holland Park School (known as āthe Socialist Etonā) not to mention Wetherby School, the prep school that prepared the young princes, William and Harry, for the next stage of their lives. Our private tutors work with students at schools such as these to give them the very preparation. Alongside the tuition we provide, it is important that students grow up to be well-rounded human beings, and time spent in Notting Hill will certainly broaden your cultural horizons!
In contrast to lecturing to large groups of students, private tutoring has the great advantage of being much more flexible, adapting each next step to the specific needs of the student in a dynamic way. In addition to technical knowledge, paying special attention to the studentās interests and identifying the gap between actual understanding and expected knowledge must be considered...
Effective learning arises in situations where strong trust, collaborative communication, aspirational expectations, and increasing self-efficacy are established. These core values underpin my professional approach to tuition, and promote the progression towards higher outcome goals. I facilitate effective learning by providing: hands-on mastery experiences that challenge current knowledge and facilitate progress; effective modelling to demonstrate performance expectations; formative feedback to support the...

I believe in using an individualistic way of teaching my students. As every student is different, I like to work with their preferred ways of learning and tailor my teaching to their specific needs, strengths, and weaknesses. I integrate my teaching with progress checks in the form of small progress tests and homework assignments, to ensure that they are getting...
I tailor my lessons to the level and needs of each individual I tutor, which I gauge and adapt to very quickly. I am firm but not strict ā I like to put students at ease and make the lesson entertaining as well as instructive. With students often being exhausted after a school day and overloaded with homework, I donāt...
I would describe my teaching style in three words: pragmatic, engaging and empowering. I believe examination success is the result of a clear understanding of whatās needed to achieve the top grades in exams, combined with active learning and practice. I consider each studentās learning style, and will work with them to develop their skills and confidence for exams. I believe...

I have learned to understand how empathy...
