I currently tutor a range of students.

I tutor one nine year old student who is improving his English writing and comprehension in the build up to the 11 plus. We are working on structuring better essays and stories as well as on general grammar and writing style, as well as comprehension.

I am working with a very bright young man, currently preparing for the 13 plus, who has dyslexia. We are working together to give him as much support and opportunity to frame his ideas and write clearly under exam conditions.

I am helping an exceptional student prepare for Scholarship Papers and King's College School and St Paul's School.

I am working with one GCSE English student to help her organise her ideas and further understand her literary texts and to perform better on her language paper.

I am also teaching several adult learners singing. Helping them prepare choral music and work on technique in a fun and relaxed way.

I have a degree in English from the University of Oxford and a Masters in Music from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

I have taught singing privately for the last 5 years and enjoy working with singers who are keen to improve their vocal technique and interpretation.

I have taught English both in the UK and abroad and have successfully tutored for the 11+.

At school I achieved 4 A Grades at A Level in Latin, English, History and Theatre Studies and received full marks for my Theatre Studies written examinations. I also received a distinction at Advanced English.

Becca has tutored me from since I was in year 4 to the end of year 8. We have done a mixture of in-person and online lessons and she has been immensely helpful in each respect. Becca mainly taught me English and creative writing which enabled me to greatly improve my 11+ scores in those areas. Later on, she also taught me some Latin and Humanities so that I obtained an 13+ scholarship in my top choice of school. Outside of academics, we have also read many pieces of English Literature together, books that I may otherwise find hard to comprehend by myself. This has really enriched my understanding and appreciation for literature and reading. I am so grateful to Becca for everything she has taught me; she is one superb tutor, trust me.

Becca provided the most amazing help to both my boys for their 11+ /13+ English exams. Not only did she teach them how to tackle difficult comprehension questions and greatly improved their essay writing skills, more importantly, she was wonderful at instilling confidence in them so that they themselves began to enjoy English rather than dread it like they did before. I cannot recommend a more knowledgeable and experienced English tutor to help students excel at their exams.

Becca is a super nice and friendly English tutor helping us with the 11+ exams. Her teaching is very efficient to help my daughter sharpening the comprehension and writing skills. She is also very organised, which is very important for a tight schedule of exam preparation. We all very much like to work with her.
