Tutors in St John's Wood

The leafy lanes of St John’s Wood are fertile ground for bright young minds. The area is home to the American School in London, and on Halloween most doors are visited by ghouls and ghosts out trick-or-treating. Our tutors know the sights and secluded spots of St Johns Wood just as well as they do their subjects. While the crowds might flock for a selfie on a certain zebra crossing on Abbey Road, or head down to Lords for an afternoon’s cricket, we know that students don’t want to be cooped up in their bedrooms all day studying. Why not a cosy lesson in a sunny spot of Regents Park, or in the peace and quiet of Swiss Cottage Central Library, just a stone’s throw away from Quinton Kynaston Academy? We also gladly cater for any boys at Arnold House about to take their all-important entrance exams for senior school.

My approach to private tuition reflects the fact that for accounting and all areas related to corporate finance and private equity, it is vital for students to understand the underlying principles and concepts correctly from the outset. Much confusion and many errors arise in these subjects because they have been taught incorrectly or inconsistently and students are struggling to follow...

Mentoring one-on-one gives the opportunity to learn at the student’s optimal pace. I strongly believe that success at school and beyond is based on strategy, time management, and self-confidence. My passion, diligence and creative skill-set drive my students to succeed....

At GCSE and above, I help to link up all the disparate bits of information floating around in the minds of students, so as to structure persuasive essays and give rigour and cohesion to intellectual thought. My approach is to balance content with strategy - making students feel calm and in control, confident of their own ability rather than mine. For 11+...

I begin any tutoring with a clear translation of the syllabus to the student, presenting clearly the weighting of assessment criteria before evaluating and discussing how this might align with the student’s strengths, as well as addressing areas where they might be struggling or lack confidence. This stage involves the outline of goals, achievements, targets and routes, the amount of work...

As an experienced classroom teacher, having taught at South Hampstead High School for three years, I have quickly established myself as an enthusiastic, approachable and highly successful tutor in London, helping students gain places at their preferred institutions from 7+ to University level. I specialise in German, Italian and French as well as 11+.  With my PGCE from the Institute...

I think that a teacher's job is to stimulate their students’ interests and help them to acquire new knowledge, not just to fill their heads with lists of facts or prepare them for an exam. I see one-to-one tuition as a great way to make sure that my students are really understanding what I teach them, and that they are...

I help my students to feel more confident about what they are doing, whether it’s writing, analysing or figuring out the best way to perform in exams because I understand in detail where that confidence comes from and how it can make us perform much better than we think we can.

I keep communications open so students can email me with...

Having had plenty of life experience, I understand that everyone is different – the way we approach problems, our general outlook, the way we learn. I love to get to really know my clients, and then find a fun way of motivating them in way that’s fun, to find out their next step in life. There’s nothing more fulfilling when...

My approach is different for each student – normally, I find where my tutee’s weaknesses are and quickly find a solution or help him find a new way of understanding the topic. I try to be as engaging as possible, so if we have gone through a lot of content in our lesson, I will talk to my tutee about...

I have always been a front runner for policy changes and curriculum differentiation for students. Each child is special and it is just a matter of time till they excel in something or the other. Mathematics is just a core skill they need to pick up along the way. Some take it as a career, some just as a means...
