English, 11+ and 13+ Common Entrance, ISEE & SSAT
An Oxford English graduate with 43 points in the IB, Lily has tutored children aged 3 to 23 in London, Oxford and Hong Kong, with particular experience of 11+ and 13+ Common Entrance.
Lily took the IB at Wellington College, scoring 43 out of 45, before reading English Literature at the University of Oxford. She went on to an MSci in Psychological Sciences at University College London. She also set up and runs a school sponsorship programme in Nepal that gives disadvantaged children the chance to be educated in Kathmandu.
Lily has tutored since 2014 in London, Oxford and Hong Kong, working with children from 3 to 23, most often for 11+ and 13+ Common Entrance. In Hong Kong she taught small groups and individuals across English, Maths, the sciences, Geography, French and History, and in Oxford she covered all subjects to GCSE, including Latin, Greek and reasoning tests, from revision days to school applications. She has also worked as a nanny and as a live-in tutor, helping a student apply to leading secondary schools.
Lily believes no child is incapable of understanding something given the right environment. She gets to know each student’s personality and learning strategies and uses them to make exam content and applications feel familiar and approachable. She draws on their natural interests and uses varied, inspiring methods, and finds it especially rewarding when a student gains confidence in something they thought they could never do.
