About Victoria

My name is Vicky and I specialise in the 9-11 age group as they prepare for the important transition from primary to secondary school. This includes English, maths, verbal & non-verbal reasoning. I also support students to write academically throughout secondary school and into further/higher education. I have been teaching for a grand total of 26 years, including 6 years as a private tutor. I have successfully guided students in attaining offers from high ranking schools including St Paul's Girls, Westminster, Alleyn’s and St Olave’s Grammar School in Kent. My strengths are in preparing children to sit private school entrance tests. These often require full written answers - there is a strong emphasis on explaining your answer with evidence from the text and analysing the author’s word choice. For the purpose of online tuition, I have adapted reading comprehension tests for many private schools. Rather than just reading from a mark scheme (often there isn’t one), I complete all reading comprehensions myself beforehand in order that I can provide in-depth advice and show students ‘what a good answer looks like’ (WAGALL). Creative writing is a requirement for many schools, and can be a source of anxiety for some learners if they have not been adequately prepared. With guided practice and expert feedback, I can help learners harness their creativity and turn it into something extraordinary. My experience is supported by a range of relevant qualifications. As well as a Master’s degree in Applied Linguistics, I have a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education, an ESOL Diploma and a Certificate in Dyslexia Support. I have worked at a range of institutions including the British Council in Thailand, Chiang Mai University, and 11 years at a busy London college supporting students in English & Maths up to GCSE level. Often the students had complicated learning histories. By means of additional in-college tutoring, I was able to enhance their performance and confidence; many went on to achieve pass grades where previously they had failed. Initially, I tutored students in their homes as an adjunct to my main job. At the onset of covid, I packed in the day job and dedicated myself entirely to online tutoring. Although out of necessity at first, I soon discovered a much richer learning experience than the traditional face-to-face model. I have become adept in the use of digital annotation tools, digital flashcards and enjoy instant access to definitions, images, example sentences and more. It also provides a far more efficient way to set targets and track progress. If you are unsure whether online tuition is for you, you may wish to read my article which compares online with face-to-face tuition (see 'Resources' below). As much as knowledge, I aim to instil an approach to learning that will benefit learners beyond the direct tutoring that they receive. I frequently set research tasks for homework and we discuss study techniques such as note-taking and information recall. Prior to the first lesson, I like to meet briefly online in order to check the technology and readiness for learning. It is also an opportunity to meet the parents and ask any questions. It is important to get these things right from the start in order to ensure a smooth learning journey.

Vicky is great! She has taught my daughter for around two years. Vicky explains things very clearly and my daughter has a much wider vocabulary range, as well as better descriptive skills in English. Vicky was always available and happy to discuss the learning process so that my daughter could benefit as much as prossible from the lessons. It can be a stressful time for parents so she was able to provde valuable advice and reassurance.

I worked with Victoria in the Literacy and Mathematics Support Department and always found her to be an extremely conscientious, professional and dedicated teacher. She has excellent subject knowledge and tailors her teaching approach to the individual needs of the learner. Her attention to detail, clear explanations and high quality resources make her a much valued and sought after teacher, who always goes above and beyond to help her students. I would highly recommend Victoria as a tutor to anyone wishing to progress and achieve their goals.

Both my son and my daughter were taught by Vicky. I am very pleased. Her method is fun and easy to learn. Especially my daughter finds it difficult to concentrate. Both my children made a lot of progress and got offers from grammar and private schools. I definitely recommend Vicky and have recommended her to my friends. They are also pleased, she is a great teacher.

Vicky is an extremely dedicated tutor. She was always available to discuss the best way to help my son pass his GCSE English retake. It was his least favourite subject and it was holding him back. We were really grateful for the tuition he received, not only did it boost his confidence no end but it gave him the skills he needed to pass. We expected a grade 4 but he ended up getting a grade 5 ! I highly recommend Vicky as a tutor.
