About Me

My love of learning goes back to my own childhood where, from an early age, I realised that education was the key to unlocking a world of opportunities. I have carried this with me throughout my career and, as a passionate, energetic and creative practitioner, have worked hard to bring a love of learning to my students, enabling them to acknowledge and feel proud of their progress and outcomes. The magic of seeing a ‘lightbulb moment’ is something which has never lost its spark for me!

During my twenty-year career in education, I have had the pleasure of working with students of all abilities, supporting and nurturing them to identify and reach their own potential. I have had the privilege of teaching classes in both the state and independent sectors; leading a department and curriculum development at one of the top independent prep schools in the country as well as working as Head of School at a small rural primary school in Cornwall. I am now excited to be bringing my enthusiasm and wealth of experience to new students through my tutoring and home education business.

With a degree in History and a passion for the arts, I use a creative approach to teaching that is deeply rooted in my drive to enable students to not only acquire knowledge but also develop a genuine enthusiasm for learning. I use a variety of creative techniques that cater to the individual child to engage and inspire them. I support students in becoming lifelong learners who appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around them, whilst empowering them to think critically and express themselves with confidence.

I have up-to-date safeguarding training, an enhanced DBS check and am fully insured.

I am a member of The Tutor’s Association, a non-profit professional membership body for the tuition industry and the supplementary education sector in the UK and beyond. Membership of this body shows my commitment to providing a high quality, professional service to families.
