About Ophelia

I graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge with a degree in Classics and have been teaching online for the past 7 years. Over the years I have aided students with interview and exam prep for schools such as Westminster, Harrow and Henrietta Barnet, as well as Oxford and Cambridge with great success. My main focus is building confidence in the candidate so that they are able to handle any scenario and respond in calm, mature and erudite manner, as well as providing some go-to topics of discussion that they can confidently approach.
I have also had students studying GCSE and A level English and Latin that have gone on to do well. My approach is simple. I try to make sessions engaging and full of content, teaching my students the skills to be able to think critically and cope on their own. I find the approach that suits the student individually, whether they are struggling, excelling and needing a final push or have learning disabilities.
More recently I have taken on work teaching homeschooled students a range of humanities subjects, so that they will be able to pass their GCSEs and A Levels but also have a more well-round education.

A testimonial:
"My ten year old son is due to sit his 11+ this year and has been struggling with Maths for quite some time. We have enlisted the help of various tutors and have not found any that made much difference. The result was that my son had completely lost his confidence in the subject and unfortunately, even his independent school have not been giving him the support to bridge the gap either. After another difficult experience with a Maths tutor, we thankfully found Ophelia! Ophelia has only been working with my son for a month and I cannot express my gratitude for the positive difference she has made in this short time already. She started with a thorough assessment of his strengths and what we need to work on. She formulated a plan and took time to debrief me to ensure I was happy. She communicates with my son in a very mature manner, rather than talking ‘down to him’. This style has resonated so well with him. Ophelia has identified within a month that my son has incredibly strong arithmetic skills and in fact he only struggles from the decoding and comprehension of word problems. She has diagnosed and nailed his action plan. His confidence is increasing and I am honestly so grateful for all of Ophelia’s time and help. She is responsive and always happy to help. I cannot recommend Ophelia highly enough. She has even kindly let me sit in on sessions for my benefit, to ensure I reinforce her same methods for school work (when needed) and is completely transparent."

About the lesson

I take a tailored approach to learning dependent entirely on the individual and what they respond to, helping them find the easiest way for them to achieve the highest grades possible. Focused on supporting, encouraging and building the confidence of my students. Whether it be English CILS, 11+ or Italian, I will find what works best for you to make sure that you can achieve your desired grades. Thus, you can go on into the world with the confidence that you truly understand your chosen area of study and have the grades to prove it.

Ophelia was my Italian tutor and I could not speak highly enough of her. She helped me to understand everything I was struggling. I was having difficulty with learning grammar and how to correctly, conjugate words in Italian. She made me feel at ease and comfortable, and was able to answer any questions I had in terms that I understood. I would absolutely recommend Ophelia as a tutor and will absolutely be asking for help from her once more, when I commence my further education in Italian.

Ophelia did wonders with my daughter preparing her for her 11+ . Not only did I see Annabelle’s knowledge and confidence grow rapidly she also really enjoyed her sessions. I was a little dubious about zoom tutoring at first as we had tried different face to face tutors in the past but Ophelia had Annabelle very engaged and it worked so well. Ophelia quickly acknowledged Annabelle’s areas of weakness and also sent out some extra activities to help so we could carry on supporting my daughter outside of her sessions. I would highly recommend Ophelia as a tutor , we saw a significant difference in confidence and my daughter passed with a fantastic mark.
Thank you again .
