ABOUT MY SERVICES

I teach French, Spanish and English from primary through to undergraduate level, including
remedial grammar, essay consultation and preparation for retakes. I also provide Entrance Examination Scholarship
coaching and Oxbridge Entrance preparation (with a 100% success rate in both). In addition, I have attended the
Holland Park training course in 7, 8, 11 and 13+ examinations in English/Maths/Reasoning and
Common Entrance. In 2019, I was selected to pilot the Scholarship preparation scheme, 'Class Action', where I was the lead 'Supertutor' and organised and ran classes to prepare students for 7+ and 8+ examinations.

 

As well as extensive experience and success at all levels between 4 and 18, I have three adult learners (beginners’ French and English GCSE), 400 hours’ experience teaching French at Undergraduate level and 200 hours' experience teaching English at IB Level. I have also home-schooled three A2 French pupils - to A and A* success!

Recent successes:

• I am unable to name names, but the son of a high-profile family got his place at Eton under my tutelage this academic year (2026).

• Another student got his place at Harvard (after having achieved the King's Scholarship to Eton several years previously, with my assistance). The King's Scholarship admits only 20 boys per annum. Other pupils have achieved places at Oxford and Cambridge this year, as in previous ones.

• My English as a Foreign Language pupil gained a 9 (with full marks in one paper!) in English Literature. We had been working together since her admission to the UK at 13 plus, when her language was limited.

My home-schooled French A Level pupil gained an A* and his place at Oxford. Another home-schooled A Level retake pupil went from B to A* Level and received unconditional offers from top universities.

• Not one of my pupils got less than a 7 at GCSE this academic year, with most achieving 9s.

• Pupils gained entrance to Westminster, Eton, Harrow, St Paul's, SPGS, Winchester...the list goes on!   

• My remedial IB pupil improved his grade from Level 4 to Level 6 after working intensively on his English Language and Literature with me for 4 weeks. He then, with my ongoing help, went on to secure his Level 6 and his place at University College London.

•  My English pupil gained entrance to Westminster at 16+, and also received an offer, as one of only 16 girls, to enter SPGS at this level.

• Under my tuition, my  pupil successfully gained his place at Eton on a French scholarship. Another two pupils were awarded scholarship to St Paul's - one of whom achieved the highest marks in the school for his French exam, for which he received a personal phone call.

• My Common Entrance pupil - with whom I had been working for three years - got a Merit for French, meaning he scored 80-90%. 

• All three of my EFL students gained places at the schools of their choice (Headington, Bradfield, Sedbergh and The Dragon School).

• I brought a GCSE pupil up from a Level 4 to a Level 7 in French. His school did not want him to sit the Higher paper but, together with his parents, we fought for his right to choose. He describes this as one of the defining successes of his academic career.
