Company details

  1. Private Tutor

Written by the company

I have a significant amount of experience helping undergraduates and postgraduates with research projects, as well as teaching IB biology and mentoring IB students through their IAs and EEs. I also teach AQA and OCR A level biology and science and maths at GCSE. ​ In the last year I have been preparing students in years 5 and 6 to take their 11+/Kent test, further to requests from parents in the southeast of England. ​ I have considerable experience with autistic, dyslexic and ADHD students. I find teaching students whose needs are not being met in mainstream education very rewarding. All students have different learning styles and I use my lived experience and knowledge of the underlying neuroscience to tailor my lessons to suit the needs of each individual student. My mission is to give each individual the knowledge and confidence to achieve their full potential in their coursework and exams.

Dr Katie, Thank you

Dr. Katie is an exceptional tutor, undoubtedly surpassing all others I have encountered in my experience with several tutors. She possesses an extensive breadth of scientific knowledge, along with a proficient instructional methodology in the English language. Katie played a significant role in clarifying and simplifying complex topics. Her faith in me and calming approach was vital in eliciting optimal performance from me. Always updating me how I was improving.
There is a scarcity of private tutors that demonstrate exceptional dedication who are willing to go above and beyond, and it is this characteristic that distinguishes Dr. Katie from her counterparts. thank you so much Dr Katie for all your support and faith in me.

Exceptional understanding of our pupils needs and a creative and flexible approach to tutoring

Katie has been providing several of our pupils with virtual, and occasional in person, tutoring. She has been instrumental in supporting them to address the gaps in their foundation learning, developing their confidence, and enabling significant progress in both English and Maths. She has been particularly good with those pupils that need a creative and bespoke program to access teaching and learning. I would highly recommend Katie to any educational professional looking to use the NTP to support pupils.

Katie made a huge difference in my confidence and ability

Katie was helpful, present and understanding throughout helping me with the final year of my degree. Undoubtedly her dependability and pragmatism had a huge positive effect on my studies. Id recommend her to anyone struggling with any aspect of their academic career.

Fantastic tutor

Lockdown struck when I was doing my GCSES and I was really struggling with maths. Katie explained things very clearly and actually made the sessions enjoyable. I passed the exam and this was all thanks to Katie. I would highly recommend!
