About Me

A lifelong curiosity about the world, and a passion for helping students understand it.

I’m a qualified teacher, private educator and education consultant with a global outlook and a passion for helping young people develop confidence, curiosity and a genuine understanding of the world around them.

I hold a First Class degree in Anthropology from UCL, a Master’s in Cross-Cultural Psychology, and trained as a Geography teacher at the UCL Institute of Education. My experience spans leading London independent schools, private households and international education

Having lived and worked across the United States, France and Italy, I bring a flexible, culturally aware approach to each student, adapting to their individual needs and circumstances.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy exploring Geography in everyday life. Whether that be through travelling, cooking new recipes, discovering where ingredients originate, growing my own food, or geocaching and exploring new landscapes. These interests reflect the same curiosity I encourage in my students: noticing the world around us and asking thoughtful questions about how it works.

Professional Experience

I trained as a Geography teacher at the UCL Institute of Education before beginning my teaching career at Queen Elizabeth’s School, Barnet, one of the UK’s leading academic schools. In my GCSE classes, 67% of students achieved Grade 9, reflecting a strong focus on subject knowledge, examination technique and high academic expectations.

I later joined Francis Holland School, Regent’s Park, where I taught Geography across KS3, GCSE and A-Level and served as Acting Head of Geography. My examination classes achieved the department’s highest results in ten years, alongside consistently strong outcomes across the wider curriculum.

This experience continues to shape my work as a private educator. I combine rigorous subject teaching with a highly individual approach, helping students understand what is expected of them academically while developing the confidence and independence to succeed.

Working in highly academic environments has given me a strong understanding of the expectations students face and the skills required to succeed at examination level.

Private Education & International Families

Alongside my work in schools and tutoring, I have over ten years’ experience working within private households, both as a tutor and travelling private educator. I support families looking for flexible, highly personalised education that fits around busy schedules, international travel and life outside a traditional classroom.

My experience ranges from supporting younger children with core academics and preparation for 7+ and 11+ entrance assessments, to designing structured learning programmes for school-aged children travelling internationally. I am accustomed to working with discretion within private households, collaborating with wider household teams and ensuring children maintain academic progress, confidence and continuity wherever they are based.

case study:

One recent role involved working as a travelling private educator on a rota basis, supporting a nine-year-old student while accompanying the family to international sporting competitions and extended travel.

During this time, I delivered daily lessons aligned with the US Common Core curriculum, maintaining a consistent academic routine across multiple locations. Lessons were tailored to the student’s learning style and incorporated approaches such as storytelling, project-based learning and real-world cultural experiences.

Alongside teaching, I worked closely with household staff and wider teams to ensure the student’s education remained seamless, consistent and well-supported at all times.

I believe that good education is not simply about achieving strong exam results, but about developing curiosity, confidence and a lasting understanding of the world around us.
