Marion was educated at Oundle School, graduated with a First in Business Studies from the University of the West of England, and qualified as a teacher with a PGCE from the University of Cambridge in 2000.
Marion has 20 years of experience in the classrooms and management of leading prep schools, including Ashdown House, Cottesmore, Northcote Lodge and St Paul’s Cathedral School, culminating as Head of Ibstock Place Prep School, a highly competitive 11+ prep school in South West London. As a professional tutor she teaches all subjects from Year 1 upwards, specialising in 11+ Maths, both ISEB and grammar school tests, and 13+ Common Entrance for entry to leading senior schools. She also mentors parents so they can confidently support their children’s learning at home.
Marion believes a child can only succeed with confidence, which comes from the right balance of praise and challenge and a real understanding of how they learn. She makes lessons as fun as possible, with activities pitched at exactly the right level, and particularly enjoys seeing children who thought they hated Maths discover they love it.
