Verity is a hugely experienced teacher having taught in South London schools as well as tutoring privately.
She would be a particularly good choice for common entrance exams and has had success with Alleyn`s, Emanuel, Graveney, JAGS, Rosemead, Royal Russell, St Dunstan’s, Sydenham High, Streatham and Clapham High, Dunraven School and Bedales.
In her own words: “I have more than 35 years of teaching experience in mainstream Secondary schools, specialising in Religious Education, History and PHSE and I currently work in schools for children with Special Needs in Primary and Secondary. “As a tutor for 8 years I have worked with children from age 4 upto 16, focusing largely on English and Maths at all levels and successfully helping students with entrance to State, Selective, Grammar and Independent schools. This has been achieved by not only practising past papers, but by nurturing their confidence in their own ability by highlighting their strengths and building on these. With a calm but focused approach any difficulties they perceive they have can be improved.”
Our daughter was invited for two academic scholarship assessments at JAGS and St Dunstan’s and we received an offer from Sydenham yesterday with academic scholarship. We would like to thank you for your engaging lessons, your support and guidance. We will share more soon. We should hear from other schools on Friday.

Verity has tutored both of our children, so we’ve known her for about eight years. She's been absolutely brilliant with both of them – kind, patient, knowledgeable and with a knack for making learning fun, not arduous. One of our boys is autistic and she works with him with great sensitivity and care. We are extremely grateful to her, and she has helped to build up both our boys’ confidence as they navigate their way through school and exams.
