Contact Emily

I am a very experienced tutor with a background in Higher Education and 11 plus as well as GCSE and A-level tutoring. I have a doctorate in English literature and have taught undergraduate students at university. I greatly enjoy teaching and at all levels and helping my students reach their full potential.

Tutoring experience

I have several years experience, working with several tutoring agencies, including JK Educate, Holland Park Tutors and Greater London Tutors - I have successfully prepared 11 plus students for highly competitive state selective as well as independent school entrance exams.

I have also prepared students for GCSE and A-level exams and I have taught undergraduate students at Brunel University for several years.

At JK Educate I received training in SEN teaching, 11 plus preparation, exam content, and student assessment. In addition, I have knowledge of the appropriate resources (both books and online materials) for 11 plus preparation through to university level.

Furthermore, at JK Educate I trained other tutors, guiding them in lesson planning and resources as well as monitoring their progress with students.

Approach to tutoring

My approach is to take the stress out of learning for my students. I create a safe environment that is high achieving but where my pupils feel they can make mistakes and learn from them. I use a thorough, step by step approach so that my students learn the fundamentals of a subject. I focus on teaching my students how to appreciate and enjoy a subject as much as exam technique and revision. I strive to build my students' confidence and to incorporate their interests and passions in lessons in order to make subjects fun and engaging.
