About Kate
I am a fully qualified teacher with over twenty years of experience in prep schools. I have prepared children for 11+ and 13+ exams for many years.
I tutor children preparing for exams at schools requiring the London Consortium, CEM Select, or ISEB pre-test exams, and specialise in helping them build their confidence so they can perform optimally in interviews for their future schools.
My online lessons are pacy, interactive and fun. We use online whiteboards, games and puzzles whilst also frequently working with past papers and online test questions. When preparing children for interviews, I use my extensive selection of questions recently used by schools and a variety of visual stimuli to get the very best from their answering technique. We also look at some current affairs, so that they can confidently discuss recent topics in their interviews.

After over 20 years of preparing 11- to 13-year-old students for entrance exams and interviews for a wide range of secondary schools, this year I am offering both workshop-style sessions and formal mock interviews to help children prepare for any daunting interviews they may face at their future schools.
I have worked for agencies such as Atom for many years, carrying out their mock interviews. You will see that coming directly to me is a lot cheaper.
I have a vast bank of questions and resources to share, some of which have been used in this year's interview rounds.
I recommend at least two sessions per student so we can discuss the most challenging questions, then try a more formal mock interview.
I provide written feedback and targets following each session.

5/5!! Kate, my Year 7 Science teacher at a top prep school highlighted in Tatler. She's fantastic! Kate's knowledge, inspiring nature, and sense of humor make learning a joy. She effortlessly breaks down complex ideas, using simpler concepts to introduce new ones. ~Kiki~
Miss Cook optimises professionalism in everything she turns her hand to, she is a diligent and excellent instructor, who is able to connect to her audience on a level that I have never seen in anyone else. Pastorally, it is very clear that she has her pupils best interests at heart and can routinely be seen giving encouragement and additional support to children who might need an additional boost in academic or personal development areas.
Creativity and originality is a forte for her, using technology, songs and clever word association to assist with learning. My children have all loved this approach and I have found that her interaction and novelty in teaching style has really brought the best out of them, it is refreshing rather than a traditional by rote method.Kate is the most wonderful teacher. She understands children incredibly well and explains things in a way that they can relate to, whether it be songs, games, diagrams or a whole host of other creative methods. Her subject knowledge is exceptional and she can vary her teaching methods very effectively for different ages and subjects. She has endless patience and humour and is great fun. Kate has taught both of my children who have made really good progress in a subject they find difficult under her wise and caring eye. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
My daughter was taught by Kate between 10yrs old to 12 yrs old. Kate is a super teacher, pitching information at an age appropriate level, always calm, kind and often with lots of laughs.
Miss Cook has proved to be an exceptional teacher, endowing children with a genuine love for the subject and ensuring that every child achieves their full potential in Science. She has achieved this through her untiring energy and enthusiasm for the subject which translates happily into lessons which are fun, engaging and memorable. Miss Cook is extremely creative and effective with how she presents concepts and topics; she is known for her inventive use of fun rhymes, songs, actions, pictorial aids, and more, which to this day our eldest daughter remembers every single one; her lessons are never boring! Miss Cook produces excellent revision aids for her students which are fun, interactive and brilliant for aiding learning and covering topics in the syllabus. My husband and I, and more importantly our daughters, couldn’t recommend Miss Cook highly enough.
