Hello!

I'm Anna

Thanks for stopping by! Having been a primary classroom teacher for 14 years and 11+ tutor for the past five years, I love seeing my students make progress. With a BA (Hons) from Sussex University and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from Nottingham University, I understand the benefits of having a great education and am a keen advocate for students to reach their full potential.

Before training to be a teacher, I worked professionally for ten years as a full-time writer and editor in business publishing in London and Manchester, and there, my passion for writing was soldered. I love the authority of the written word and am passionate about my students finding this superpower.

Ofsted described me as an 'outstanding' teacher, and I have been trained to a high level to teach children how to write a wide range of texts, assess their abilities and spot gaps in knowledge and skills; this helps them move quickly and confidently towards their goals.

So, if you're looking for an experienced and enthusiastic creative writing tutor with a proven success rate, please get in touch to see if I'm the right fit for you. Together, we can help your child achieve their academic goals and become a confident and successful writer.

My approach

My approach is student-centered, focused on creating a positive, engaging, and supportive learning environment that meets the needs of every individual student. In a nutshell:

  • All lessons are freshly written with current students in mind (nothing is repeated from past lessons).
  • Entrance exam students have ongoing assessments and targets to ensure progress.
  • Lessons are designed to nurture a love for learning which leads to motivated students.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add more than one class to my basket?

Yes. Add as many classes as you like to your basket. We send an email confirmation with Zoom links for each class.


Can I cancel a class?

Once booked, unfortunately refunds are not available as per our Terms and Conditions. This is because there are limited places on each class and once a place is booked, other children are then not able to join the class. Missed classes cannot be refunded, but course materials, homework and marking can still be accessed.


What if I can't connect or I've deleted my email with the link?

Please check your Zoom link at least 10 minutes before the class. See our 'Technology Support' section for more help with Zoom. If you have lost the original email with the Zoom link, don't worry, we send a reminder email with the Zoom link 24-hours before the class is due to start. Please check your junk/spam folder if you can't find it. The parent login area that you join when you book a class also displays all your orders, Zoom links and any downloadable class materials.
