You can spend a lot of time – and a lot of money – chasing all-important grades.
But then all that expenditure is lost as you move on to the next target, and have to start from scratch again.
By contrast, an investment in developing higher level problem-solving skills may take a little more effort initially, but it literally pays off as those skills strengthen over time and make it easier over the years for the student (and therefore cheaper for the parent) to adapt to new, more advanced material.

Why Hire Me?
You shouldn’t hire me just because my academic resume says I’m a straight A student and scholar at both Eton and Oxford.
You shouldn’t hire me for my background in professional comedy and ability to make your child laugh while studying a subject they hate.
You shouldn’t hire me for my authentic British accent – though I do narrate audiobooks professionally.
You should hire me because I am able to hear how your child thinks.
The great privilege of tutoring one-on-one is that I get to know how my students’ brains work.
By listening carefully to how a student answers questions – regardless of whether they’re right or wrong – I am able to “diagnose” underlying issues and any gaps in their thinking skills.
Once we identify the source of their challenges we can clear the path forward, resulting in huge personal growth, newfound confidence, and thinking skills that can be applied to every part of their lives.
From my very first tutoring job I have been obsessed with understanding why some people find it easy to understand a concept, and some don’t; and then helping those who don’t “get it” to course-correct.
With my unique experience, I hear tiny little clues that tell me exactly what is causing the mental block, which allows me to target the actual source of the student’s difficulties.
Unfortunately, adults who already understand concepts often struggle to understand why other people do not.
My job is not to make your child learn facts, but rather to get into their brain and understand why they are getting lost. By listening to their confusion, I can join them in their mental maze and show them the way out.
This is the skill that I offer, and why I enjoy this job so much.
