Roundtable Tutors

Louisa is an experienced generalist tutor. She tutors all subjects up to 13+, and English Literature, Creative Writing, Latin and Ancient Greek beyond that.

After completing the IB at Sevenoaks and going to Cambridge to read Classics, Louisa moved to New York where she took Master’s courses in Film History and Screenwriting at Columbia University. Soon after she moved to Los Angeles where she sold her first screenplay. When she returned to London, Louisa saw tutoring as a profession that could complement her writing.

Over the last six years Louisa has taught numerous children through 11+, pretests, 13+ and scholarship exams, as well as GCSE, A-Levels and IB. She also sits as President of the Tutors' Association, having won the highest number of votes from her peers to take up the role. Louisa has championed the creation of a set of professional and ethical codes which will promote a responsible tuition industry.

Claire studied Geography at Jesus College, Cambridge before taking her PGCE and qualifying as a teacher. It was whilst teaching at a large secondary school that Claire found that the most rewarding part of her job was helping students who had come to see her for extra support. She started tutoring on a one to one basis in 2012.

Claire has excellent knowledge of the human and physical geography topics that are examined for GCSE and A Level, and she has had training from senior exam board members on exam specifications and marking.

Claire also has her own experiences – of scuba diving through underwater rock formations and working on charity projects overseas – so she is able to teach academic concepts to real life experiences, explaining things in a way that students can relate to and understand, inspiring them to enjoy and connect with the subject.

Stephane is our training principal and is responsible for overseeing our professional development. He ensures that, as tutors, we have the tools to help our students as fully and thoroughly as possible. In this role, Stephane meets tutors regularly and runs our training sessions. He has fostered a truly collaborative ethos, through which tutors are able to exchange their own ideas and experiences.

Originally majoring in Computer Science, Stephane later took a Diploma in Psychology from the Institute of Education, and then a Masters degree in Child Development from University College London. He frequently provides advice to parents as part of our Consultancy Team.

As a tutor, Stephane works predominantly with children who don’t ‘get’ Maths, helping them to learn techniques that will empower them in the classroom, and the wider world. He is also a fluent French speaker.

Katherine graduated from St. John’s, Cambridge, with a First in Natural Sciences and winning the Physiology Society Prize for the top student in her year. She moved to London to study Medicine as a postgraduate at King's College London and began to tutor alongside her studies.

Katherine trained with London’s Keystone Tutors and was soon taking on residential posts overseas during university vacations. In 2012, she travelled to Oman, to home-school a girl for two months in the run-up to her GCSE Biology exam, using a local school laboratory to conduct the coursework experiments.

Joining our team in 2013, Katherine tutors Biology and Chemistry up to A Level, and also supports students who are applying to Medical School. Outside of education, Katherine is a keen triathlete and has competed for Great Britain in her age group team.

Will is regarded as one of London’s best GCSE Maths tutors. He has a track record of helping students conquer the course and perform above expectations. His intricate knowledge of exam questions and the common weaknesses of his students allows him to deconstruct and demystify topics for students in relatively short periods of time.

Will studied Astrophysics at UCL before his interest in education led him to take a Master’s in Child Development, with a focus on the psychology of education. He has tutored over 4000 hours of Maths and Science, and now also provides support and training to other tutors.

Outside teaching, Will loves adventure sports. He is a fully qualified ski instructor and a PADI qualified diver. He also climbs regularly and during his spare hours Will can usually be found at one of London’s climbing walls.

Tadhgh is one of only a handful of tutors who can work with equal competence and enthusiasm across a range of subjects up to GCSE level, from Maths and Science through to English and History. He has been particularly successful in working with families relocating to the UK, who need help transferring to a new curriculum.

Tadhgh was an Arts Scholar at Magdalen College School, and went on to read English Literature at St John’s, Cambridge. He has taught at a London academy where he was responsible for helping students with their applications to Oxbridge colleges.

Tadhgh provides academically rigorous teaching, whilst maintaining an atmosphere of fun and enjoyment. He is a firm believer that students should not be spoon-fed; they should be empowered to succeed as independent learners.

Olly has developed a specialism for working with children who are struggling at school, particularly those with a special educational need. He helps his students understand how their minds work, how they best learn and he shows them the true extent of their potential.

After graduating with a degree in History from Exeter University, Olly worked for a scheme that delivered academic tutoring for young sportsmen. He went on to manage study-centres at Crystal Palace FC and the Oval Cricket Stadium, and he helped to develop a computer-based learning platform for Maths and Spelling.

Olly is one of those characters everyone feels comfortable with. He is able to build supportive and trusting working relationships with children, including those with emotional and behavioural difficulties. He has received dyslexia and SEN training, and draws on his growing professional experience.
