Online one-to-one tutoring from a UK qualified teacher.
What I teach
I'd rather be genuinely good across a focused range than spread thin. Here's exactly what I take on.
Maths and English most weeks, but also science, humanities, languages and general study skills. For younger children the work is as much about confidence and habits as content - knowing how to start a question is half the battle.
Exam-board specific preparation for AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC. Past-paper technique, mark-scheme language, and the handful of topics that quietly cost the most marks. Foundation and Higher, triple and combined science.
Grammar school 11+ (GL and CEM style) and independent school papers, including ISEB Pre-Test and individual school papers. Verbal and non-verbal reasoning, maths, English and creative writing - plus interview practice for schools that ask for it.
Grammar, translation both ways, the set texts and films, essay structure and - the part most students dread - the individual research project and speaking exam. Sessions run largely in Spanish once confidence allows.
For families educating at home, I can be the weekly anchor: teaching a subject you'd rather not, planning a term's route through a topic, or simply giving your child another adult to be accountable to. Daytime slots available.
Experienced with EHCPs, dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD and autism. Sessions are paced, structured and adapted - and I'll happily liaise with your school's SENCo. More on how that works →

Happy to put you in touch with a current family for a reference before you commit to anything.
Something most tutors don't do
Most tutoring runs on scattered WhatsApp messages and a vague memory of who owes what. Every family here gets a portal instead - everything in one place, from the first session onwards. The three things you will use most:
No app to download - it's just a web page
01
What's booked, and a written-up note after every lesson saying what you covered and what's next. No more asking your child how it went and being told “fine”.
02
The green hours are genuinely free - it's my real diary, not a form. Ask for one and it shows as pending until I confirm. Need an extra session before a mock? Two clicks.
03
What's owed or what's left on a prepaid block, the full history, and how to pay. Check it at two in the morning if you like - no awkward conversation required.
Also in there: two or three targets for the week, which your child ticks off and I can see; and messages, which sit with your child's notes rather than scrolling away in a group chat. And behind the scenes I run my whole week from the other side of the same system, so your notes and your balance aren't typed up later from memory - they're what I'm working from as I go.
The demo is fully working - pick one of the made-up families, request a session, read the notes from last week, tick off a target. It is the real thing filled with invented people, so nothing you do there touches anybody's actual records.
SEN
A lot of the children I work with have already had a rough ride at school - they've been told they're not trying, or they've quietly decided they're "just bad at maths". Very often the content isn't the problem. The pace, the noise, the working memory load, or the sheer length of the task is.
One to one online removes most of that. There's no class to keep up with, no one watching, and we can stop and rebuild a foundation from three years ago without anyone noticing.
Tell me as much or as little as you want on the booking form. Nothing is a barrier to booking - it just helps me plan the first session properly.
Fees & payments
Every family gets a portal. Sign in whenever you like to see what's been invoiced, what's been paid, and what's left on a prepaid block - no chasing, no awkward messages.
Sessions are added to your portal as they happen and invoiced at the end of each month. Payment by bank transfer within seven days. You'll always see the running total before the invoice arrives.
Buy six sessions up front for 5% off. Your portal shows the balance in credit and counts down as sessions are used, so you know exactly how many are left.
24 hours' notice and there's nothing to pay - we'll rearrange for another free slot that week where one exists. Shorter notice is charged at the full rate, illness excepted.
Balance, upcoming sessions, session notes, weekly targets, the booking calendar and a direct message thread with me - all in one place.
Qualifications & safeguarding
Online tutoring should come with the same checks you'd expect from a school. Here are mine, and you're welcome to ask to see any of them.
Availability
Straight from my diary, so you can see whether I'm likely to have room before you get in touch. Nothing is booked from this page - we'll find the slot that works on our call.
What you see here is mostly after school and weekends. Daytime sessions are available on request - home educating families and anyone who would rather work in the morning, just ask on the call and we'll sort something out.
Seen a gap that would suit? Mention it when we speak.

Start here
One short conversation is how everything starts. Just you and me - your child doesn't need to be there. You tell me what's going on, I tell you honestly whether I can help, and if I can't I'll try to point you somewhere better. Nothing is booked or charged off the back of it.
I'll come back within 24 hours on weekdays with a couple of times to choose from.
