11+, 13+ and Common Entrance, English, ISEE & SSAT
An Oxford English graduate and former residential teacher at Hurstpierpoint College, Scarlett is an 11+ specialist who has helped students win places at many of the UK’s leading schools.
Scarlett graduated in English Language and Literature from the University of Oxford, having attended Brighton College. Before university she worked for a year as a full-time residential teacher at Hurstpierpoint College, where she taught small-group music theory, supported struggling music students, accompanied pupils for exams and concerts, served as chapel organist and led the girls’ choir, alongside pastoral and sports duties.
Scarlett has tutored children aged 5 to 20 and specialises in entry to top UK schools and universities. Her students have won places at schools including St Paul’s, Godolphin, Wycombe Abbey, Latymer Upper, North London Collegiate, City of London School for Girls and Cheltenham Ladies’ College at 11+, and at Eton, Winchester, Sevenoaks, Westminster and St Paul’s at 13+. She has also prepared students for 8+ and 10+ entry to King’s College School Wimbledon, 14+ and 16+ entry to Stowe, Common Entrance, UKiSET and Oxbridge humanities applications, and taken a GCSE English student from C grades to A*s. Her work on the ISEE and SSAT makes her well suited to students moving between the British and American systems. She has also done pro bono work with teenagers at Teach First schools in London.
Scarlett starts with each student’s individual needs, with building and keeping confidence at the heart of her teaching. She breaks exams down so they feel manageable and takes a rigorous approach to mark schemes, while working to keep a love of learning alive.
