Nancy's biography

Nancy acquired a BSc before pursuing a career in education. She has worked in primary education for nearly twenty years and across all year groups.

Nancy has extensive experience preparing children for Key Stage 1 and 2 SATs and a proven track record of improving pupil outcomes. She also offers comprehensive support for pupils targeting entrance to London based grammar and independent schools preparing them for all elements of the 11+ exams.

Nancy believes that tutoring sessions should be tailored to the need of the individual child to enable them to develop a strong conceptual understanding of each subject that can be build upon in future. She also aims to employ a range of interactive strategies in sessions to keep pupil engagement high and help to foster a lifelong love of learning.

Nancy has held several leadership positions in schools including, but not limited to the leadership of maths and humanities and has made substantial contributions to curriculum development. Her work as a private tutor includes preparing pupils for the 11+ and supporting pupils to 'catch up' with age-related expectations (particularly post covid).
