I’m a Specialist Tutor With a Reputation for Excellence and Empathy.
About me
Drawing on 13 years of teaching experience across the primary years, I combine rigour with reassurance, cultivating academic ability and calm self-assurance in equal measure. My specialism is 11+ preparation, with a proven track record of guiding pupils into top independent and grammar schools, but I work with children from Year 2 onwards, building strong foundations in English, mathematics, and confident thinking from an early age. I also support pupils with the transition from Year 6 to Year 7 through targeted revision of Key Stage 2 maths and English skills, helping them build secure foundations and confidently apply their learning as they progress through Key Stage 3.
My guiding principle echoes the spirit of Scholé: the classical idea of learning through thoughtful attention rather than pressure.
My Philosophy
“My goal is to help children approach challenge with curiosity and calm confidence, to enjoy the process of thinking clearly.”

The Salisbury Scholé Ethos
Success is not only academic. It is emotional balance, quiet confidence, and a genuine love of learning. Each session at Salisbury Scholé is designed to calm the mind and sharpen the intellect, preparing pupils not just for an exam, but for thoughtful success beyond it.
‘Scholé’ is the ancient Greek word that gives us ‘school.’ It means time set aside for learning and reflection. At Salisbury Scholé Tutoring, we create that same calm, focused space so students can think deeply, build confidence, and truly understand.
