About me
As an experienced educator and leader, I have spent years honing my skills in preparing students for the competitive entrance exams, with a particular focus on the 11+ process. Through my experience in both the state and private sectors with Year 5 and 6 students, I have gained a thorough understanding of the requirements. As a result, I am able to guide families through the process with confidence and clarity.
I am committed to helping students achieve their best outcomes by having fun, focusing on their unique needs and fostering a love for learning that extends beyond the exams.
I hold a clear enhanced DBS check and have over 12 years experience in this wonderful profession.
With years of experience as a qualified Maths Specialist Teacher (MaST) and having served as Head of Maths in senior leadership roles, I hold a deep understanding of the specific skills required for success in the 11+ maths exam. My approach is both structured and tailored, designed to ensure students build the confidence and expertise needed.
I have led the development of comprehensive maths curriculums which have emphasised both mastery of the content and the ability to apply mathematical thinking to solve complex problems. My focus is to ensure that students are not only proficient in these areas but are also confident in their ability to approach new or unfamiliar problems. I use a variety of strategies to support students’ progress and address any areas they may be finding challenging or need stretching in.
In addition to my expertise in maths, I am deeply involved in the 11+ interview preparation process. I understand that the interview plays a crucial role in selective school entry, and I work with students to develop strong communication skills, practice common interview questions, and build self-confidence. I guide students through mock interviews, helping them express their thoughts clearly, confidently showcasing their unique personalities with ease enthusiasm. My aim is for student to feel prepared and able to convey their academic achievements and personal qualities with ease.
