About Louis

Hello! I've worked for around 450 clients since 2011 - 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 7s, 8s and 9s at GCSE where previously they were predicted 5s and 6s. 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 nine 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 schedule used to take me all around London, but recent years have seen a shift in emphasis towards online tuition, which often seems to suit children just as well or even better; I'd still be willing to teach in person if a client lives close by! 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 Camberwell and can often be found birdwatching, playing sports or writing.
