Experience

I have worked as a teacher for 40 years both in various UK schools and in an International School in Italy.

I have taught children from Year 3 up to Year 11 in both the state and Independent sector.  During this time I have held various positions of responsibility, including Head of Girl’s PE and Games at Orley Farm School in Harrow and Head of Upper School at Belmont (Prep School to Mill Hill) in London.

I first started teaching with Susan in 2009, initially tutoring Year 4 students (the Year 4 Foundation Course was a new addition for SDE at that time).  Then in 2014 I was granted the first SDE franchise in SW Herts.  Since then I have successfully built this into a successful franchised SDE 11+ Tuition Centre with over a hundred students attending the Tuition Centre in Bushey each week. 

Everything we do at SDE (West Herts) LLP is the same as at other SDE 11+ Tuition Centres, although if you join one of my classes there, you will communicate with me directly on all matters, whether educational or administrative.  At my SDE 11+ Centre we also offer a Year 5 11+ Course which is specifically designed for students who are attempting the SW Herts Consortium Schools 11+ tests which only test VR and Maths, as well as different classes for those Year 5 students who need to cover all four 11+ subjects (VR, Maths, English and NVR).  We also offer the Foundation Course for students who wish to begin their 11+ preparation in Year 4.

Additional information

Working with children who are moving from Junior to Secondary school is especially rewarding as children of this age tend to be enthusiastic, motivated and keen to learn. They are receptive to learning and this makes the job of the teacher interesting and fulfilling.

I enjoy knowing that what we do will help the children transition to Secondary school where they will be able to reach their potential.
