Mathematics, Sciences, 11+ and 13+, UK Schools
A Cambridge Engineering graduate and former Goldman Sachs analyst who went through the London independent school system herself, Anna makes Maths and Science engaging and helps families navigate UK school and university entry.
Anna grew up in Central London, attending Glendower and St Paul’s Girls’ School, where she was on the Head Girl team, won academic prizes and achieved As in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Art and 10 A*s at GCSE. She went on to read Engineering at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, completing an MEng with Merit.
Anna worked for two and a half years at Goldman Sachs, where she mentored interns and new joiners, before leaving the City to pursue a long-standing interest in Medicine. Her first tutoring experience was volunteering at a homework club for the Rugby Portobello Trust, and she has since supported students from 11+ through to GCSE and A-level science. Having been through the UK independent school system herself, she knows its quirks well, from choosing schools at 11+ or 13+ to university applications. She has also taught skiing and lacrosse.
Anna gives students tools that help beyond their sessions, such as organisation and effective study techniques, and teaches them to break problems down logically. She asks plenty of questions and has students teach concepts back to her, and finds creative, real-world ways to make ideas stick, once designing a Premier League exercise to keep a football-loving student engaged with his maths.
