About David - Entrance Exams Specialist
★ Experienced prep school teacher ★ Oxford University graduate ★ Distinction in PGCE teaching qualification ★ Long record of pupils achieving excellent results to prestigious senior schools throughout the UK ★ I have spent nearly twenty years working at top prep schools, holding posts including Deputy Head, Director of Studies and Head of Scholars. During that time I have successfully prepared hundreds of pupils for entrance and scholarship examinations to major senior schools throughout the United Kingdom. I have also helped to advise on school choices and have a strong understanding of entry routes and requirements. I have extensive experience as a private tutor both in the UK and overseas, helping children to achieve their academic goals as well as advising parents on all aspects of the education process. I have an excellent record of pupils earning top grades and winning scholarships to major senior schools at 13+. My former pupils, many of whom won awards, have moved on to schools including Eton College, Radley, Harrow, Wellington, Sherborne, Marlborough, Shrewsbury, Bradfield, Charterhouse, Ampleforth, Milton Abbey, Stowe, Rugby, Oundle, Winchester, Uppingham, Sedbergh, Fettes, Glenalmond, Cheltenham, Strathallan, St Edward's, Culford and elsewhere.

I have taught English, History, Latin and Religious Studies (TPR) at 13+ Common Entrance level. I have also helped more generally with academic preparation, helping pupils to develop good study techniques across the board and overseeing individual revision programmes. Furthermore, I have prepared pupils for 13+ scholarship examinations to many top senior schools teaching English, History and Religious Studies at this level, and also helping with current affairs and General Paper preparation, essay writing, and interview technique. As well as preparing candidates for the Common Academic Scholarship exam I have also helped them work towards school-specific papers such as the Eton King's Scholarship (most recent scholarship in 2022), Winchester Election and Radley Scholarship. In addition, I have helped pupils to prepare for 11+ entry assessments. These include the widely-used ISEB Pre-Test as well as school specific assessments such as the Eton List Test and Harrow Test. I also have significant experience of assisting pupils with interview preparation at this level. To this end I am happy to consider taking on pupils in years five and six, although the majority of my teaching is at year seven and eight level and that is really my specialism.

David is an amazing tutor. He is highly professional, well-organised, and dependable. He has boosted my son's confidence and is an excellent choice for senior school preparation. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.
Having known David professionally and personally for more than 15 years, I have no hesitation in recommending him as a tutor: he is one of the most conscientious, personable and talented teachers I have ever met in my own long teaching career. He succeeds in getting the best from all his students, adapting to their individual needs without sacrificing intellectual rigour. An outstanding educator.

Details
Please note that, given my school commitments, I tend to be available for private teaching during the major holidays only. My diary also fills several months in advance. Therefore, I am unable to take on long-term roles and my tutoring tends to be relatively "concentrated" - interview preparation and mock interviews (at both pre-test and scholarship level), subject specific revision and reinforcement, focused exam paper preparation and more general academic mentoring - helping to devise and oversee individual revision and study programmes to guide pupils' preparation in advance of exams. That said, even if I am unable to schedule any teaching I am often able to assist on a consultancy basis should this be required. Therefore, please do get in touch if you would like to discuss whether I may be able to help. My free first lesson takes the form of an initial consultation to discuss your requirements and, in light of these, decide whether I would be the right fit to help.
