About Me

I was born and grew up in France in a British academic family, before moving to the UK for the International Baccalaureate. I studied at Sevenoaks School and then went to UCL to study Biochemistry. I have an 8 year old daughter.
I have travelled around the world a lot, including for tutoring, and have taught over a hundred students. I have worked with people who had completely lost interest in a subject, students with low self-esteem or lack of faith in their abilities, as well as with A* students and everything in between. I have helped students to develop, enjoy learning and to prepare to gain entrance to the best schools and universities. I have also worked together with families to improve interpersonal dynamics, and have mentored students to help them develop critical life and organisational skills. I have had consistently strong academic and personal results.
Each student is unique and requires a personalised approach to learning. I adapt my teaching style to each student's individual needs and make my lessons clear, interactive and engaging.

Tutor Experience

I have been tutoring for over 15 years, specialising in Maths and Sciences up to A Level and IB Diploma. I have worked with more than one hundred students across a wide academic range, from those struggling with confidence and foundational gaps to those aiming for top grades and competitive school or university entry. Alongside subject teaching, I mentor students in study skills, time management and exam technique, recognising that organisation and mindset are often as important as content mastery. I am also trained to support students with learning disabilities.

For 11+ and 13+ preparation, I teach Maths, English, Science, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, comprehension and interview technique. I have prepared students for leading UK independent schools including St Paul’s, Westminster, Wycombe Abbey, Winchester, Sevenoaks and many others. Students typically sit multiple entrance exams and consistently secure places at one of their preferred schools. My approach combines strong foundational work, targeted exam practice and confidence building.

At GCSE, IGCSE, A Level and IB, I teach Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics across all major exam boards (OCR, Edexcel, AQA, CIE, WJEC, MYC). I focus on deep conceptual understanding and precise exam application, and have helped many students move from mid-level grades (5–7) to 8/9.

Revision planning is a key part of my work. I help students construct realistic, structured timetables that balance content review with past paper practice and exam technique, ensuring they feel organised and confident.

I also have experience working with students with ADHD, OCD and other social, emotional or behavioural difficulties. I combine clear structure with patience and adaptability, creating a focused but supportive learning environment tailored to each individual.
