About Daisy

I'm a qualified English and Drama secondary school teacher, with a year's experience in inner-London schools, praised for focusing on individual student needs and quickly establishing rapport. Over three academic years of tutoring, I've consistently helped students surpass target grades, fostering a notable boost in their confidence.

I am also an ICF trained coach, where I specialise in supporting anxious teenagers with low confidence, as I strongly believe that a lack of confidence is one of the biggest contributors to low academic achievement or students not achieving their potential. For those reasons, I would recommend that students take part in my coaching alongside tutoring and I am currently running a £25 per hour introductory offer.

Having taught ages 11-18, including A Levels, IB, AP English, and the Australian 11+ system, I'm well-versed in curricula from key stages 3-5. My diverse experience encompasses students of all abilities, including those with special educational needs and English as a second language. Additional roles as a teaching assistant and volunteer in Spain further enhanced my adaptability.

Outside of teaching, I manage a thriving online international writing community with over 75 writers. This reflects my passion for creative writing and commitment to nurturing the next generation of writers. Through teaching, I aim to inspire students to explore their creative potential and develop a lasting love for writing.

About the lesson

I tailor my classes to each student, creating a personalized profile after our initial meeting to address their specific needs. Beyond focusing on grades, my emphasis lies in nurturing self-esteem and confidence. I passionately believe that confidence significantly impacts academic performance and anxiety during exams.

My classes are characterised by interactivity and a focus on building rapport with students. I take pride in providing a supportive, judgment-free learning environment. This approach has proven successful, with all students achieving or surpassing their target grades. Notable achievements include a GCSE student overcoming educational gaps to secure a B, an A Level student progressing from an E to a B, and another A Level student exceeding their predicted D with a B.

I would say that I specialise in the E or D to B pipeline, helping students who are struggling to achieve beyond what they may believe they are capable of at this point in time.

I'm equally proud that all my students experience increased confidence, positively affecting their mental health. Previous reviews on a different platform, where I maintain a 5-star rating, attest to the effectiveness of my teaching style:

03/12- Samantha - This class was fantastic, writing from a student's perspective, Daisy was very enthusiastic and gave constructive and detailed explanations for how I could improve the structure of my essays. I am very exited to work with Daisy again and would give her 10 out of 5 stars if I could, she really helped to motivate me :)

17/11- Konstantin - Amazing class! Daisy helped me thoroughly analyse the play which we are studying!

15/11- Britt - Extremely good tutoring. Helped a lot. Thank you.

13/10- Deri - Daisy is great and really helps explain the work and get a good amount done whilst also being friendly and. chatty :)

14/08- Balini - According to our daughter, ''Daisy was really fun and she made the session exciting and interactive. She discussed different styles of writing and techniques which helped her to improve her creative writing ability''.

22/01- Wiktoria - Brilliant! Extremely helpful and a wonderful atmosphere :)

23/11- Zoe - My daughter loves her class with Daisy

08/03- Susannah - Super pleased with the progress made by Priya with Daisy. I can see that Daisy is able to guide Priya towards better understanding.

Daisy has been tutoring Eva for nearly 3 years. Eva was her very first student. Daisy is truly unique, the bond that she has formed with Eva over the past 3 years has been amazing; an incredibly special one. Eva was predicted a D at the start of her GCESE year. Through hard work and determination with Daisy, she managed to get a B in both English language and literature.
Daisy is just an incredible teacher. So likeable, warm and fun. Daisy continues to help Eva with her EPQ work. Eva would be lost without Daisys amazing support. She is simply the best. Would recommend her to any parent looking for English tutoring for their son or daughter. Eva has made a friend for life.
