Louis J
Tutor in Charlton, South East London

Hello! I've worked for around 300 clients over six years of tuition - predominantly agency work, but I've also had a number of word-of-mouth clients to whom I've been recommended. I've helped students get into Eton, Westminster (where I attended as a Queen's Scholar), Harrow, Sevenoaks, Winchester, Wellington and many other private schools - both via Common Entrance and Scholarship exams - and I've helped children from both state and private education attain As and A*s at GCSE where previously they were predicted Bs and Cs. I've been on numerous overseas assignments - holiday work in Italy or France, winter's break in Russia etc - and I've taught afternoon classes at various preparatory schools. I have a record of client loyalty - there's one family I've been with for all six years - and I have accrued an enormous bank of teaching materials and past papers in all 11+ and 13+ (and also younger) subjects. My style is friendly and somewhat informal but I am always fiercely determined that my students exceed expectations! I also enjoy seeing them flourish as well-rounded, interesting people. My existing tuition schedule takes me all around London and I am happy to travel, but I have also logged hundreds if not thousands of hours of online tuition, and am extremely comfortable adapting to whatever format suits a family best. I also devise and run courses with GIFT, an organisation for gifted and talented children whose operations usually take place in residential study centres. I believe that while often there's nothing better than looking at past papers, creative approaches to education are often very fruitful, and I have no problem devising unusual or demanding tasks to push a child in the right direction.

I live in Charlton and can often be found birdwatching, playing sports or writing. I self-published a novel early in 2017 and am currently working on another one.
