About Jenna
For over 15 years, I have tutored a wide variety of students in their homes, schools and community settings, supporting them to: increase their academic attainment; develop their social and personal skills; gain entrance to top independent schools; and learn to love and enjoy learning.
My approach is comprehensive and very much about the child as a whole. I strive for students to look forward to their schooling, no matter what their needs, and to bring out the best in my students.
Through regular bespoke tutoring, homeschooling and/or mentoring sessions, online and in person, I support students who are struggling to achieve their potential.
Every learner can benefit from a patient tutor who believes in them and will take the time to find the right method that works with their strengths and weaknesses.
With me, students learn how to learn, how to utilise the way their brain works, and how to develop the skills, techniques and habits they need. I ensure my students have balance and feel supported by using different ways of learning, from visual methods to more bespoke techniques.
I have always maintained a special interest in education, with plenty of qualifications under my belt. This has led me to specialise in learning outside classrooms – ideal for home education, young people with SEND or SEMH needs and those who just need a different way of learning than the rigid group lessons that classrooms offer.
Since starting full-time tutoring, I have become a certified member of a number of esteemed professional organisations:
• The Tutors’ Association
• National Association of Designed Safeguarding Leads (regional coordinator for West Midlands)
• National Association of Special Educational Needs
• Association of Child and Adolescent Mental Health
Beyond tutoring, I also offer body-doubling, study sessions, reading groups, mock exam sessions, quizzes and plenty of extra-curricular activities.
If you’re looking to actively support your child to make the most out of their education and are willing to take an active role, we could be a good match.
Other Qualifications :
Having a special interest in education means that I am always learning about education, child development and other associated topics (eg safeguarding). I enjoy learning about research old and new, teaching and learning methods, pedagogy and more. There are so many ways that I consume this knowledge: reading academic journals, participating in courses, listening to podcasts, networking, undertaking my own research, attending webinars and lectures, etc; I am always learning and always interested.
I could list all of my certificates, qualifications and specialisms, but I would definitely run out of characters. Instead, here are some of the key areas and highlights that I have particular expertise, experience and qualifications in:
education and training, teaching students who have experienced complex trauma, teaching for specific and general learning difficulties (including: autism, ADHD, Tourettes, dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc) educational psychology, educational neuroscience, safeguarding and child protection, first aid, mental health (including: anxiety and depression, eating disorders, mental health first aid, and more - I used to be the CEO of a mental health charity so have good awareness and maintain CPD and research), healthy eating and eating for mental health, LGBTQ+, disabilities and chronic health issues
Please feel free to ask me for further information if you would like to.

My approach is very much based around working from the ground up: we start with skills and topics that should already have been covered in order to develop confidence, then consolidate and extend existing knowledge, and cover all of the gaps and areas of worry or weakness.
Lessons utilise a wide variety of approaches and resources, including some games, so that we avoid monotony and instead aim for engaging and thought-provoking. We even achieve fun every now and then!
This way, students quickly feel their ability, attainment and confidence bloom and grow, all while developing interest and inspiration in/from the subjects.
I find that even the most reluctant learners quickly start to overcome their fears and anxieties through this style of learning.
At the end of each lesson, you'll get a detailed written report covering what we did in the lesson, feedback, and notes on any homework set.
As well as offering most subjects up to GCSE and 16+, I offer a handful of subjects at A Level and beyond, as well as offering a number of extra-curricular opportunities. Depending on your needs, I also offer mentoring, school selection and application support, and university advice.

Perfect! Brilliant Tutor. Highly Recommended
Jen tutors my 2 sons (eldest in yr 4) in preparation for 11 plus exam. They really enjoy the lessons as she uses an interactive online white board. She engages them well including timed challenges and talking about their interests. My boys actually look forward to lessons and I have seen an improvement in their enthusiasm to work. Jen is very organised, accommodating and provides helpful homework to reinforce the lessons.

Jen always puts an incredible amount of time and effort into all students, regardless of how much time they spend in lessons. Prep will always be set and marked, and lessons will always be prepared up front, tailored to the student's attainment and progress and adapting as the course progresses to help the student achieve the best. Always reading up about new best practices and chasing knowledge and qualifications in more and more areas!
