Sienna

English, Politics, Law, LNAT, Essay Writing

A Cambridge Human, Social and Political Sciences graduate who trained as a commercial solicitor, Sienna draws on her own experience of dyspraxia to teach in a highly adaptive way.

Sienna achieved the highest A-level grades on record at Notting Hill and Ealing High School, with three A*s and two GDST academic prizes in English Literature and Government and Politics. She began her degree at the University of Pennsylvania before returning to the UK and graduating in Human, Social and Political Sciences from the University of Cambridge, so she knows both the UK and US application processes. She went on to complete the Legal Practice Course ahead of a career as a commercial solicitor.

Sienna tutored 11+ and primary students in her gap year, then GCSE and A-level English Literature and A-level Politics at Cambridge, with all her students achieving high A* results. She has also tutored Politics and International Relations at degree level, social sciences coursework and dissertations, all GDL modules and the LNAT. She particularly enjoys teaching essay-writing and revision skills, Oxbridge preparation and commercial internship applications and interviews.

Sienna tailors each session to the individual student and focuses on short-term goals set together, as well as results. Having dyspraxia herself and benefiting from tutoring at school, she understands the challenges of learning differences from the inside, and much of her experience has been with students needing SEN support or who struggle in traditional classrooms.
