ISEE & SSAT, 11+ and 13+ Entrance Exams
A Cambridge Anthropology graduate who grew up in Asia before boarding in the UK, Catriona specialises in ISEE, SSAT, 11+ and 13+ preparation, particularly for students based in Asia.
Catriona graduated from Newnham College, University of Cambridge in 2009 in Social Anthropology, with a First in Development Studies. As a child she attended the Chinese International School in Hong Kong and Alice Smith International School in Kuala Lumpur, before boarding at King’s School Canterbury as an Art Scholar.
Catriona has tutored since 2005, beginning with Common Entrance 13+ and GCSE English, Maths, Art and French before specialising in interview practice and exam technique. She has taught adults English as a foreign language, tutored children in Hong Kong, Singapore, Kazakhstan, Portugal and Scotland, and mentored students, often as a guardian. Her focus is the ISEE and SSAT for American private schools and the 11+ and 13+ for leading British schools, and she has an excellent track record of raising test scores. Based in Singapore, she has tutored students there and in Hong Kong in person and online.
Having been an overseas student herself, Catriona particularly enjoys preparing students in Asia for the cultural and curriculum change of moving to an international or boarding school. Her sessions combine friendly support and encouragement with a firm hand, so that students are confident in their abilities and well placed in their class.
