Tutor profile - Adam

Having taught and led in 11/13+ environments since 2011, Adam has a huge amount of experience in helping students obtain offers and scholarships from both boarding and day schools, including St Paul's, Eton, Hampton, Winchester, Kingston Grammar, Wimbledon High, Putney High, Canford, Epsom and Emanuel. In 11/13+ contexts, he has taught children from academic years 3 - 8 (KS2 - KS3), and is therefore well aware of what a robust academic pathway through school looks like.

During his time as Head of English, his teaching and leadership led to an improvement in the English grades awarded to the students at 13+ Common Entrance. The percentage of A/A- grades attained by his scholarship set in the two years prior to his arrival was around 50%; at the end of his first year, the figure stood at over 90%, and during his tenure did not drop below 80%. Adam allso helped a number of students to win academic scholarships, with top grades in English, for St Paul's, Hampton and Canford.

Finally, having experienced three separate ISI inspections, the last two as a Middle and Senior Leader respectively, Adam has very clear view of what academic success looks like, and the processes by which this success can be obtained by his students.
