A former Head of English at Knightsbridge Prep, Hannah has successfully guided students into schools including St Paul’s School, City of London School, and Cheltenham Ladies’ College. She also brings valuable insider admissions experience from her time at Roedean School, where she conducted 11+ interviews and assessed entrance candidates, alongside marking 11+ papers for schools including Roedean and Haberdashers’ Boys’ School.

This rare dual perspective, as both interviewer and assessor, gives Hannah a clear understanding of what top schools are looking for in successful applicants. She works closely with families to identify the right-fit schools, build compelling applications, and ensure students present themselves with maturity, confidence, and authenticity.

Alongside admissions consulting, Hannah is also an experienced SEN and learning support specialist. With a PGCE in English with SEN (Distinction), she has extensive experience supporting students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and language-based difficulties. Her ability to tailor learning approaches to each child’s needs makes her particularly effective with students who require both academic guidance and emotional reassurance during the admissions journey.

Known for her warm, calm, and highly personalised approach, Hannah builds strong relationships with students and parents alike. She combines honesty, expertise, and encouragement to help students feel prepared, articulate, and self-assured—while giving families clear and trusted guidance at every stage.
