About Madeleine
That's how former students/parents describe me. I've been this site's top selling tutor, with over 1,750 hours on this site and over 6,000 hours' experience since 2011. My students have been getting into top secondary schools, universities, and graduate programmes for the past decade.
My approach to tutoring is flexible, tailored to each student's unique needs. My psychology background informs my approach to tuition. I use my expertise to improve my students' cognitive (thinking) skills and to identify their individual needs and strengths.
I specialise in 11+ admissions/common entrance, LSATs, and Psychology (A-Level - PhD). My students have been placed at top Universities, including Cambridge, Durham, Georgetown, BU, USC, UCSD and NYU and top UK schools including: St. Paul's (girls' and boys'), Eton, Godolphin & Latymer, Latymer Upper, North London Collegiate, King's College Wimbledon, Wetherby, LEH, JAGS, Francis Holland (both), Regent's Park, City of London, St. Mary's Ascot, Harrodian, Kew Bridge, Notting Hill and Ealing School, South Hampstead Highschool, and the American School London.
I think it's important that an educator is excited about the subject they teach in order to engage their students. I have a passion for spreading knowledge and motivating others and I love learning.
I focus on developing time management and study skills, which will help students to help themselves, in addition to working on subject proficiency. I like to give students guidance, not answers, so that they can develop their own ideas and produce their own work. I have a professional, yet friendly and approachable demeanour, excellent communication skills, and tactful, diplomatic, student-oriented approaches to problem solving.
Former parents/students say:
"We cannot be more happy for her it was a result!" -Marisa (11 plus)
"She got a place!!!!" -Kat (11 plus)
"Good News: E has been admitted to Kelvinside Academy for January
entry!...You have really helped her a lot, Madeleine. E really likes learning maths from you, and we are all very grateful to you for your excellent help." -Graham (13 plus)
"It went very well...I share this with you of course for all your guidance assistance and support during this process" -Marios (Graduate Business)
“Really really helpful! Gave me lots of ways to understand statistics within psychology, thankyou!”
-Alice (University Statistics)

"I moved up a maths set!"
-Charlotte (Maths and Basic Skills GCSE)
"Madeleine, just got Julien’s report...it is superb!"
-Caroline (ISEE, Primary 11+)
“My son's confidence and motivation have certainly increased as he has received the guidance and advice that he needed, and wouldn't take from parents, on how to study and take exams as well as coaching on specific topics. He says these sessions have been much more useful to him than the classes at his college.” -John (A-level Psychology)
"I graduated with 1st class honours! I got an A in my dissertation! So thank you for all your help along the way!"

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Madeleine.
Perfect! Very competent and friendly
I have got Madeleine for tutoring my daughter for 11+ exams, to polish up her maths. My daughter was initially opposed to the idea of tutor - but as reviewing with me was getting us into heated situations, she agreed to try a tutor. After first lesson with Madeleine we never looked back. Rachel was completely at ease from the start, I could hear pleasant chatter and some giggles - and my daughter was very happy to go ahead with the lessons. Madeleine had always the plan what to cover, suggestions for Rachel what and how to practice without adding strain, and in addition to math, she contributed significantly to my daughters improvement in comprehension and interviewing skills. Today, our daughter received an offer for our dream school that always felt to be a stretch a bit too far away. I am very happy and grateful that we found Madeleine a year ago, it made all the difference.
Subject : 11+ School Exam Preparation
Outcome : An offer from the preferred school, and from all other schools that we applied for. A perfect result.Perfect! Subject : 11+ School Exam Preparation
Perfect! Broad knowledge base, along with excellent specialist skills
Madeleine has been tutoring my 14 year old daughter, starting with maths but going on to cover English, other subjects and school life generally. She has excellent insight into our daughter's lack of confidence as a learner, and a wide range of strategies for tackling this. Madeleine is always punctual and reliable, kind and understanding, without losing sight of the academic focus. In addition to her excellent academic credentials, Madeleine's experience in other fields - including psychology, drama/dance etc - mean that she is able to connect with and really engage my daughter.
Subject : Maths
Outcome : Improved maths and English, motivation and study skills. Ongoing.Perfect! American SSAT Support
Madeleine came to support my daughter as she prepared with very little time for the US boarding school entry test the SSAT. She was punctual, cheerful and very helpful in explaining how the test would be different from the UK ones -- especially for the Verbal section. i highly recommend her to others navigating the USA tests.
Outcome : Very good score on the SSAT. Accepted to top-choice US boarding school.View more reviews

Madeleine was a fantastic help to get me prepared for my second LSAT attempt. In just one week she taught me new techniques to improve my accuracy in the test and I felt much more confident this time around. I don't think I could've done it without her - thanks Madeleine!
Highly highly recommended. Every single technique that Madeliene taught me immediately proved to be highly effective when applied. She has raised my confidence, scores and general test-taking ability in the month that I've seen her. Paired with her LSAT skills she also has a great knowledge of method and psychological preparations which mean so much in the LSAT.
Madeleine was a fantastic tutor. We worked exclusively on the logical reasoning section of the LSAT and my scores improved 20%. I could not have asked for a better tutor!
I thought that Madeleine was very good at breaking down the information and making it simple and easy to learn. This made it easer to remember the information.
Madeleine was very effective and at the same time made the subject fun! A summer refresher series of lessons massively improved my 14 year old daughters Maths results the following term. I would thoroughly recommend her.
