I am a qualified teacher who has trained to teach ages 11-18 as well as 4-11. I have almost 20 years tutoring experience having established my own Tuition Service, West Wickham Independent Learning Centre, in Bromley in 2002 which operated until 2017. I then relocated but still tutored privately. I tutor Primary Key Stage 1 and 2, English and maths and prepare tutees for 11+ Exams. I also tutor in English and maths up to GCSE. I am registered to deliver the National Tutoring Programme currently being delivered in schools. I am patient and positive, utilising a variety of teaching strategies to suit individual students’ needs, beginning with a baseline assessment of strengths and challenges and designing a bespoke tutoring programme for each child. I am very happy to provide exemplary references and look forward to meeting with you to examine how best to boost your child’s confidence, resilience and attainment.

I'm a geeky, enthusiastic physics teacher of 14 years who is passionate about helping students to understand physics and not be scared of it. I've taught a wide range of abilities from ages 10 to 18 and have had excellent results at Common Entrance, GCSE, A-Level, IB Diploma (Higher and Standard), and Oxbridge admissions tutoring. Good tutoring requires clear explanations, checking for understanding and misconceptions, and using resources, demonstrations and lots of practice to help the students to realise that yes, they CAN do this and get the grades they want! Students have described me as "approachable" and "easy to understand". For students who are wanting to be challenged and perhaps go beyond the bounds of their current course or prepare for university, I have experience with Gifted and Talented students and enjoy bringing that spark of further knowledge and curiosity to them.

The Common Entrance Exam (also known as CE or the 13+) is taken by pupils as part of the admissions process for Year 9 entry into academically selective Independent Schools at age 13. Common Entrance consists of examinations in Mathematics (three papers: a mental mathematics paper, plus written non-calculator and calculator), English (two papers), Geography, History, Religious Studies, Latin, Classical Greek, plus either a specialist Physics, Chemistry and Biology or a Combined Science. There can also be a choice of four languages: Spanish, French, German or Mandarin, assessed via listening, spoken and written papers. The only compulsory elements of the Common Entrance Exam are Maths, English and a Science, with each schools offering their own combination and subject requirements.
The Common Entrance (CE) for admission at age 11, 12 or 13 to Independent Schools, usually from Preparatory Schools, is to be scrapped in 18 months. Many leading Public Schools now recruit more children from State Primary Schools and increasingly at Year 7 rather than at Year 9. Common Entrance was introduced in 1904. The "pass mark" varies widely and is high for the more prestigious schools but can be much lower for schools where academic standards are less demanding. For over a century CE has worked well, ensuring that privately-educated children transfer to an Independent School that matches their academic abilities and potential. Scholarships and bursaries are also available to rovide opportunities to a wider range of children, including those from less-privileged backgrounds.
