Tutor Profile

Josie

Private English and Maths Tutor in London

I'm a friendly and experienced tutor with 10+ years experience. I received straight As in my GCSEs, AAA in my A-Levels (Maths, French & English) and recieved a BA in English from University College London (2:1), followed by an MA in Acting from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Alongside tutoring, I work as a freelance creative in the arts.

Teaching Experience

I've been teaching both Maths and English for 10+ years and have only ever received 5* reviews. I also have lots of experience working with young people as a theatre facilitator, for which I've been trained in Safeguarding (FAA Level 1). I've worked as a director at the Lyric Hammersmith, done four years of directing musical theatre residential camps for British Youth Music Theatre, and am an Emerging Associate for the National Youth Theatre.

Tutoring Approach

I'm a positive and encouraging person who believes the first step in engaging a student is to make them feel comfortable.

I support my students to take charge of their own learning and will ask them to direct our sessions towards the areas they feel they need most support. I also encourage honest communication, so that students feel able to assert their needs as we continue through lessons. I work solely online, and suggest a short homework at the end of each lesson - unless students would not have the capacity to complete this.

Josie is an excellent tutor, really lovely and bubbly but also incredibly gifted with her knowledge and profound insight for teaching Maths. My daughter has only just started learning with Josie but has already gone from slightly behind the high achievers in her class to outsmarting all of them with her growing confidence and rapid progression, this is all entirely due to Josie's tutoring. I cannot fault her, she is amazing and I am really, so very glad that we found her.

My children really enjoy their sessions with Josie and are going from strength to strength since they started with her. Josie has an amazing ability to teach in a relatable way and to build confidence. Thank you, Josie.

Josie tailored her approach to our son's needs very thoughtfully. Her feedback after each session was comprehensive but clear. Josie had taken time out to prepare for each session and generally provided great support for our son. Thank you.

Josie is very warm and likeable person, my son is always finishing the lesson feeling better and more knowledgeable and is going to school with more confidence - he is keen to study just a little bit more and that's because Josie is very patient and understanding.
