Hello!

I'm Anna

Thanks for stopping by! As a primary classroom teacher for 14 years and an 11+ writing tutor for the past five years, I have had the privilege of witnessing my students' journey to finding a love and confidence in writing. With a BA (Hons) from Sussex University and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE 2005) from Nottingham University, I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education and am dedicated to helping students 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. There, my passion for writing was ignited, and I discovered the authority of the written word. I am deeply passionate about instilling this love for writing in my students and helping them develop this superpower.

Ofsted has recognised me as an 'outstanding' teacher, reflecting my extensive training and passion for helping children excel in their learning. I now specialise in guiding students in crafting various types of 11+ exam texts, while effectively assessing their abilities and identifying areas for improvement. This targeted approach empowers them to progress swiftly and confidently toward their writing goals.

If you're seeking an enthusiastic and skilled 11+ writing tutor with a proven success record, please get in touch. Together, we can unlock your child's potential, helping them achieve their academic aspirations and flourish as a capable, confident 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. Class sizes are kept small for this reason. In a nutshell:

  • All lessons and materials 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 who want to come to class each week!
