Private tutoring that builds confidence.
I'm a qualified teacher with more than 25 years of teaching experience. I offer one-to-one lessons, from exam preparation to Russian for every age.
SATs preparation
Calm, structured support to get ready for SATs, filling gaps and practising in a relaxed way.
KS2 and KS3 support
Help to catch up, keep up or stretch further, with lessons matched to what your child is learning at school.
GCSE Maths and English
Targeted preparation for GCSE Maths and English: revision, exam practice and the techniques that turn knowledge into marks.
Russian, all levels
I teach Russian to complete beginners through to fluent speakers, children and adults alike.
Whether you are learning for family, travel, work or exams, I shape lessons around your goals and level.
How lessons work
I have more than 25 years of teaching experience and a background in psychology, so my lessons pay attention to how a learner feels as well as what they know. I give nervous learners time to settle and build confidence.
The first lesson is about finding out where the learner is now and what they need. From there, I plan lessons around clear goals so progress is easy to see.
Lessons take place at my practice in Milton Keynes, or online by video call.
Payment and missed lessons
Tutoring is paid monthly, and I reserve a regular slot for each student. Because that time is kept for them, missed lessons are not refunded, but up to 3 lessons a year can be rebooked.
Online lessons
Can't make it to Milton Keynes? I also teach online by video call, with the same one-to-one attention as lessons in person.
Online lessons work well for busy families, for students further away, and for adults learning Russian. All you need is a laptop or tablet and a quiet space.
Celebrating every success
When students reach their goals, I mark it with a certificate of achievement. The thank-you cards I get back from students and parents are one of the best parts of the job.
