My Summary
About Me
I was born in Malta and have been residing in the UK since 1998. With over 25 years of experience as a tutor started in Malta, I am also a proud mother of three teenagers. I have a passion for languages and am fluent in Maltese, Italian, and French. Previously, I worked as a logistics business travel consultant for Walt Disney. After having my three children, I transitioned to teaching more full-time from home. I am patient, adaptable, and have excellent communication skills. My extensive background has equipped me with the ability to connect with students of all ages, understand their unique learning styles, and create personalized approaches to help them achieve their academic goals. I am dedicated to fostering a positive and encouraging learning environment that empowers students to thrive. Additionally, I enjoy supporting and participating in charity events as well.
My Experience
I am a highly experienced tutor with over 25 years of tutoring expertise and more than 30 years of babysitting experience. I specialize in preparing students for the 7+ and 11+ entrance exams, with a proven track record of success in helping students gain admission to prestigious schools such as King's, St Paul's, Tiffin, Reeds, and Guildford High.
Additionally, I provide tuition for students in Years 9 through 11, focusing on English Language and Literature for AQA and Edexcel exams, as well as Mathematics for both Foundation and Higher papers. My area of expertise is Algebra, and I occasionally conduct two-week master classes in Algebra for GCSE preparation.
I possess extensive experience working with neurodivergent adolescents, particularly those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dysgraphia. My GCSE students consistently achieve a 100% pass rate in Maths and English, with over 85% attaining higher-tier grades of 8-9.
My teaching approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each child, ensuring that every lesson plan is individualized. Above all, my primary focus is on building the confidence of each student to facilitate their growth and success.
