About Renee
Hi, I'm Renee - a fully qualified experienced teacher and former GCSE examiner. I am slightly unusual in that I tutor in English, Biology and Science and English subjects. I studied English Literature and Biology through Masters degree and taught: A-Level Biology; GCSE Science; A-Level English; and GCSE English Literature and Language. I cover all exam boards across these subjects. At higher levels I taught academic skills at London Metropolitan University for 15 years which means I am fully skilled to assist students of all levels who need to improve their essay writing. I am also a highly experienced EAP/EFL teacher. Altogether 24 years for formal teaching which reflects a varied background and a number of subjects.
Indicative rates: £35ph
Most of my students are either GCSE or A-Level but I am frequently asked to assist both younger and older students including those studying at university (up to Masters degree in essay writing skills), students applying for entrance to private schools, and primary level students.
My approach to tutoring an academic subject is to provide a structured lesson on a topic in accordance with the exam board specification. For Science and English Literature lessons, all I will assess the student's abilities during the first lesson and make adjustments to the delivery accordingly. For EFL, if no IELTS test has been taken recently, I will initially provide a short diagnostic test prior to the lesson as well as assessment during the first lesson.
I always round off my lessons with exam practice anyway but I am quite happy to work through exam papers only with students if that is what they want to do. Sometimes students want help writing assignments rather than course revision.
I will discuss the plan with you the first time we meet and we can make any adjustments needed. Initially, I would deliver a structured interactive lesson designed to improve a student's knowledge of a subject and their exam/writing skills.
My training includes:
MSc Microbiology, University of London
MA National and International Literatures in English, University of London
BSc (Hons) Zoology, Roehampton University
BA (Hons) French and German, University of North London
Teacher Training: RSA Diploma, DELTA and CTEFL.

I always round off my lessons with exam practice anyway, but I am quite happy to work through exam papers only with students if that is what they want to do. Sometimes students want help writing assignments rather than course revision.

My hours are generally 9am-19:00 week days and 9am-18:00 weekends during the academic year. During the summer holidays, generally I prefer 10am-14:00, but will make exceptions at need!

Perfect! Outstanding tutor. Really gets into the detail of biology and explains it well.
Perfect! We are very happy with the lessons and the way Renne helps and improve my son's english for GCSE.
Perfect! Renee is an outstanding tutor. She prepared our son for English entry test at two independent secondary schools in Scotland (S1). His English wasn't great to start with but Renee was able to turn things around in just a few short months. The result is that our son has been offered a place at both schools!
Renee is a very a professional tutor. She knows her subjects extremely well. Her lessons are well prepared and focused. Renee's methods give great outcomes and we highly recommend her tuition.- Renee's response :Jan is a charming boy with a lot of potential. He is working towards 11+ and making good progress in his writing and reading comprehension.
Perfect! Knowledgeable English teacher
Ms. Renee is a friendly and well experienced teacher. My daughter achieved Grade 8 in English Literature and English Language with her help. I highly recommend her.
Subject : English
Outcome : Completely satisfied- Renee's response :I taught GCSE English to Shanchita a year ago and she achieved a super result. She has now returned to me for assistance with her A-Level Biology. She is a great student and I am happy to teach her again.
Excellent! Very helpful
Rene tutored my son in chemistry (GCSE) , she is very patient and her explanation is detailed. Helped him improve his grades.
Subject : Chemistry
Outcome : Good understanding of topic.Perfect! Biology A-level Preparation
My daughter needed some support for her A-level biology. When I was looking for a good teacher I came across Renee through this site. Renee is highly talented, academic, experienced and kind teacher who is exemplary in her areas. She is also very accommodative and kind hearted. Because of Renee's support, my daughter has reached higher levels in her learning. My sincere gratitude to Renee and this site.
Subject : Biology

Have been using Renee for almost a year and have found her to be thorough in her preparation and conscientious in her delivery. Under her guidance my son has made some improvement and I am sure their will be more to come. Renee provides detailed feedback which has been helpful. Would recommend
Subject : School science
Outcome : Improving still in Year 10Perfect! Can't survive without Renee
Renee, teaches my two daughters, years 10 and 11, all the Sciences, English language and literature, French and History. I could not imagine life without her as it would increase the rows in the house. Renee is strict enough, very diligent with the girls, keeping on top of homework and keeping me informed. The children have improved in performance and confidence with Renee on the case. The girls respect her as I do, every penny spent with Renee is well spent. I have no hesitation in recommending her, just don't take all my slots.
Subject : French
Outcome : Better educated children.Perfect! exam preparation
My son needed a tutor urgently and Renee responded promptly, and it was so nice of her to agree to start as soon as possible. Though she seemed rather busy, she made an effort to carve out some time to help my son to prepare for his literature exams. She has given him clear guidance and has made him work hard on the areas of the subject he at times finds tedious and which he therefore tries to avoid delving into too deep. My son feels supported and better prepared to go ahead with his literature exams. That’s exactly what we were hoping to achieve. Thank you, Renee!
Subject : English Literature
Outcome : better prepared for the examPerfect! A very knowledgeable, experienced and patient tutor
Renee was brilliant. In a short period of time she helped my son to prepare for a 13+ assessment at an independent school, which he successfully passed. Being an examiner herself, Renee has a good understanding of what is expected in exams and was able to point us in the right direction. She also helped our son to organise himself and get into a working pattern, giving him small tasks that he really enjoyed doing. During lessons with Renee, our son's literacy and creative skills improved a lot. He is also now able to concentrate better in lessons. Despite being very busy, Renee was able to help him feel much more confident. I can definitely recommend her.

Renee is definitely a superb teacher . My son only had two online sessions with her, but the way she did those lessons with him like she know him very well and assisting him for a quite while , she knows where he needs help and the right technique of assisting him so he understands well.
My son was really impressed with her assessments and he already feeling more confident towards his subject (English)
The only regret have is that why didnt I found her earlier .
She is talented and very intelligent tutor. When I told her about my sons cutrent school , she found out in second about his subjects and what topic they are working at school and what chapter they are on made me stunned . I believe my son will definitely will be improved if he carry on assisting with Renee .
Once again thanks for assisting my son .
Subject : English
Outcome : Waiting for the school assessmentsPerfect! Wonderful Tutor!
Renee took on tutoring my son at short notice and even though my son was unprepared she compensated wonderfully. My son was really struggling with English Lit and Language, and its safe to say, a rather reluctant student in this subject. We booked the online internet classes with Renee.
In just the first three weeks Renee took him from struggling to comprehend his litrature classes to turning everything around. So much so that even his teachers at his school noticed the rapid and great improvement.
My son expect to fail the subject but I am happy to report that he just passed GCSE English Language and Literature with a strong pass mark. I am convinced he wouldn't have achieved this without Renee's help and guidance.
Renee's enthusiasm for teaching the subject is a joy to witness.

Subject : School sciencePerfect! Amazing!
I am nearing the end of my A2 English Literature course. My exam board is Edexcel, and these exams were the first of the new spec.
I have always been sceptical about tuition, but contacting Renee was the best decision I made during exam season. She replied swiftly, asking for all the relevant information in order for her to help as soon as possible. My only regret was that I wish I had contacted her earlier in the year and had more time to work with her.
The great thing about Renee was that she was not merely someone to help with essays (which is the area that I struggled the most with) but also helped me with my confidence - which is one of the most essential things when approaching exams.
Renee also goes beyond what she has to do by supplying extra reading and areas to consider.
I would highly recommend her! She helped me so much, and should you choose her I am confident she will help you too!
Thank you so much for your time and help, Renee.

Renee has really helped me over the last year and I managed to get a 7-7 in combined science for my GCSEs. This is a big improvement and I could not have done it without her help. I would highly recommend her.
Renee is a very straightforward teacher, works and tells what the flaws are and improves on them. She really inspires my daughter to work hard. She is an experienced professional and puts a lot of effort in every class so I would recommend her without any doubt.
I engaged Renee as a Biology tutor for my 18 year old son who is retaking his A level. We both found Renee to be very friendly and flexible and extremely passionate and knowledgeable about her subject. She had a nice way of relating to my son and I would recommend her.
Thanks for all the great lessons.
Renee was a very helpful and capable tutor who helped me to improve my academic writing skills when beginning a scientific degree course. She provided useful feedback and guidance how to achieve top marks in assignments.
Renee tutored me in English language when I was 17 when I first moved to the UK and that helped me to get into university in London to do a philosophy degree. At University she was one of my lecturers and in her class which I took as a free module, I had to dissect poetry and analyse and write about a novels from Paulo Cuelo,Thomas Hardy, JR Tolkein. During my first year at university she also tutored me outside class in my academic writing. She is really great at essay writing. She was very patient and helped me a lot.
