About Me

I went to a girls grammar school in the South East of England where I gained 13A*s at GCSE before going onto Durham University. I have been teaching for over ten years, and I am now a full time tutor.

Tutor Experience

I have helped pupils get into a number of schools, including top London private schools such as Emanuel as well as grammar schools in Kent such as Cranbrook. At GCSE I have helped pupils to achieve 8s and 9s in History and English.

Topic Expertise

I cover all of the 11+ and Common Entrance exams, including English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning. I am experienced in teaching all aspects of the GCSE English Literature and Language curriculums, and I have the skills and ability to teach all components of the history GCSE due to my university background in this subject combined with my teaching experience.

Testimonials

We are beyond grateful for the incredible support our son received from Maddie! While he had always excelled in, and enjoyed maths & sciences, he disliked English, especially creative writing & comprehension, and would write as little as possible. Maddie took the time to understand what truly motivated him, and within just a few lessons, his confidence and enthusiasm for writing completely transformed. Her personalized approach not only helped him improve his creative writing skills but also prepared him thoroughly for the 11+ exam. I'm thrilled to say that he was accepted into every school he applied for, including Latymer Upper and Westminster School. Even more amazing and valuable, two years later, English has become his favorite subject - which we attribute to Maddie's approach. We couldn’t recommend Maddie more highly! (Magdalena G.)

We are incredibly grateful to Maddie for her outstanding support in helping our son prepare for his 11+ exams. Her teaching style was kind, engaging, and creative, making lessons both enjoyable and highly effective. She was methodical and tailored her approach collaboratively with us, ensuring it suited our son's needs perfectly. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, our son was invited to the interview stage at all five schools he applied to. We cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone seeking a tutor who inspires confidence and delivers exceptional results. (Julie S.)

Maddie was instrumental in supporting my son’s progress in reading. She helped him to grow in confidence, which had a really positive effect on his writing as well. He now likes writing much more than he used to, and he picks up books of his own accord! Maddie effectively tapped into my son’s interests and used these to inform her teaching. It is an approach that I would definitely recommend! (Tanya R.)

Where do I start with Maddie? Not only has she been an excellent History tutor for my D, she has been also an excellent guide and mentor for her. My D was struggling with her performance in History, Maddie very quickly identified the underlying issues and noted that it was not my D’s knowledge but it was her time management and applying analytical skills properly in her answers. She then focused her lessons on enhancing my D’s capabilities in these areas and I could see very clear improvements. Maddie also came up with helpful tools to aid D’s timekeeping during exam which were phenomenal. She always kept me informed on D’s performance during lessons and also discussed in detail her needs so that I could support D at home. I am ever grateful for Maddie’s support and guidance for my D and we would very much like to continue her lessons with Maddie when needed in A levels. I wish Maddie all the best with her future endeavours. (Rasheda R.)

My son worked with Maddie in the summer of 2025 to help him improve his understanding of what will be required of him in his GCSE English exams. Maddie is an excellent teacher: knowledgeable, empathetic and encouraging. My son feels he learned a lot from his sessions and has had a confidence booster. He was tested in his first week back at school and his score was much improved. We are happy to recommend Maddie to future students. (Helen W.)

Maddie is a very professional and empathetic tutor, catering to individual learning styles. My daughter’s confidence has grown since Maddie has been tutoring her. P enjoys her lessons with Maddie and feels more confident going into her A levels. Maddie sets realistic and achievable goals and really listens and understands any concerns P raises and helps her find her solutions. I highly recommend Maddie to help your child to enjoy and succeed in English. (Maria S.)
