I'm a qualified teacher with sixteen years of experience in schools, most recently as Assistant Headteacher (Academics) and 11+ Leader at a London prep school. I teach English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning and interview technique, but what I love most is the moment a child stops dreading a question type and starts looking forward to it.
The 11+ catches most children out on timing, not ability. They can answer the questions - they just can't answer them in forty-five seconds. I teach methods rather than repetition: every question type is broken into clear, repeatable steps, so children walk into the exam feeling prepared rather than hoping for the best.
I offer small group classes, taught live on Zoom and personally led by me. Children work hard, but they enjoy themselves - there's laughter in my lessons, and getting something wrong is never a disaster. After every lesson, you'll get an email from me explaining what we covered and suggesting activities for consolidating learning at home. Click here to see the group class schedule.
In 2024-25, 90% of my pupils got their first choice school. In 2025-26, 86% did, with the rest securing their second choice. That year, my pupils achieved the highest number of offers and scholarships in the school's twenty-nine-year history. But the messages that mean the most come much later - a parent writing a year on to say their child is happy, settled and in exactly the right school.
I know how much this year asks of a family, and I’d love to support you through it. Send me a message through my Contact Page or book a call - I am always happy to talk first.
