I'm a qualified & experienced teacher turned 7+ and 11+ tutor.

I have taught in state and in preparatory schools in London, and have been lucky enough to teach & tutor children from Year 1-6, though I specialise in 11+ and KS2 education. 

With an academic background in psychology, being Head of PSHE in a prep school for several years, as well as being a qualified mindfulness teacher, my mission has always been to make learning as fun as possible whilst promoting positive mental health & well-being for young impressionable minds. 

 

I absolutely love teaching, but my vast experience as a classroom teacher made me realise how difficult and frustrating it can be for some children to “get” everything in a fast-past classroom environment, especially when there is so much in the curriculum to cover, so I decided to set up the Bright Minds Club - a safe and mindful place where children can learn confidently and reach their academic goals. 

​​

My passion is supporting children with unlocking their academic and personal potential. Since leaving the classroom, I have tutored and supported children with preparation for the 7+ and 11+ entrance exams. I have loved being a part of their success!

To support even more children, I now teach online, small-group classes & courses, teaching 11+ English and exam skills.

There are 3 ways of working with me:

1. Join my live, weekly English classes during term-time.

2. Join my recording and resources membership

3. Join my mail list for freebies to support your child at home!

I look forward to helping your child to ACE their 11+ English exam!
