Juliet
Juliet comes from a highly academic background with both parents having been professors at Oxford and Cambridge universities. She has also studied at both herself, completing her PGCE at the University of Cambridge. During this time, Juliet was awarded the British Psychological Society prize for the best undergraduate project in the country. She was also awarded a Wellcome Trust Scholarship for research and received a First Class Honours degree.
Juliet taught at Queen’s College Preparatory School in London, a highly sought after independent school for girls, and also has teaching experience at Eton College, Glendower Prep, Garden House, Summerfields, Headington, Tudor Hall and Stafford Prep. Having four young children of her own in the private system, she has also been fully involved in entrance exams as a parent. Her two eldest were awarded academic scholarships.
Juliet has extensive experience with private tuition for 14 years. She has been successful in helping children gain places to major British public schools such as: Rugby, Harrow, Downe House, Wycombe Abbey, Cheltenham Ladies’ College, St Mary’s Calne, Benenden, King’s College and more. Many of these have resulted in academic scholarships and one of her students was awarded six academic scholarships. She has had further success with 11+ entry to highly competitive grammar schools such as Newport Girls, Haberdashers’ Adams, Queen Mary’s and Bishop Vesey’s.
As another string to her bow, Juliet works with children who do not have English as their first language, preparing them for pre-tests and Common Entrance exams. She has provided English courses online to students from Harrow Beijing.
She has helped prepare students for interviews with Heads of School and for assessment days. Her aim is to help the student feel relaxed yet confident in their own abilities and give them the opportunity to show off their talents. She is more than adept in providing advice on exam strategy and revision techniques.
In addition, Juliet has helped students preparing for GCSE and A-Level Biology exams and some have improved by up to four grades.
Juliet has taken recent courses for professional development on Dyslexia, Autism, Special Educational Needs, Bullying Prevention and Child Protection.
Juliet has a calm, methodical approach, which is tailor made for each child. She enjoys helping each student to increase their confidence in their abilities and to succeed in exams. She aims to make the sessions fun and challenging to ensure that each student can perform at their best during school and exams. Many parents have commented that their children may not have liked certain subjects before coming to Juliet or have moved from the bottom to the top set following tutoring. She takes pride in inspiring others towards success.
