Teaching experience
Over the last 7 years, I have worked for some of the very best tutoring agencies in London; it has been an incredible experience meeting such a genuinely wide range of students from all walks of life! As a full-time tutor, It is my personal aim to offer you top-quality tuition and help you tap into your potential. Here is a summary of my background:
1) I have 5000+ hours of experience;
2) After finishing my BA at the University of Oxford, I completed an MA (also in Oxford!). I then worked for the British Council as a teacher. I am now very fortunate to work as a private tutor in a full-time capacity, alongside my career as a Writer-Actor.
2) I also work as a homeschooling teacher; this means tutoring is not just a side-job for me and I put a lot of time, thought and care into planning our lessons as well as getting to know you!
3) I have worked in a Primary and Secondary School as part of the prestigious British Council Teaching placement in Paris. 4) As well as a Tutor, I am also a Tutor Trainer - this means I get to meet lots of brilliant other tutors and I train them up on the best tutoring methods! What should your take away be from my profile? Good question! Essentially, there probably isn’t a level or type of teaching I haven’t covered: I have done primary schools, secondary schools, homeschooling, teaching Local Authority students, I have flown out on (quite fancy!) residential tutoring placements, but now I predominantly work as a private tutor online offering bespoke sessions across a range of subjects. My specialisms are French, Spanish and English literature 13+, GCSE and A level/IB. I consider myself a ‘holistic’ tutor – I am convinced education can transform individuals. Whatever your needs, get in touch - I am always happy to help.

TESTIMONIAL
Harry has tutored two of my children for 3 years. From the very start they both thought he was the best teacher they had had. As a tutor he shows interest in what they are doing and uses this to choose relevant material to work with whilst developing their French. Through his supportive and encouraging approach they are happy to take risks and challenge themselves. Both of my children have enjoyed his lessons and the creative ways he has tutored them. So much so that they continued to have lessons with him after the GCSEs. As a parent, I have found Harry very flexible and friendly and have been delighted to see my children enjoy learning with him as well as seeing their progress in French. I would highly recommend Harry to any parent and child!

TESTIMONIAL
I am the mother of one of Harry's current students. He has done splendid job with our daughter, Emma (who will now be attending a top UK independent school next year!), and we are more than thankful that he has taken her success in such a genuine manner as a teacher. Harry - you have provided us with a very personal assistance for our daughters applications to the UK boarding schools. It is such a great personal favour from you to contact the school personally for Emma to ensure that she has met the required language standards and to provide reference for her. Emma is lucky to have your support along with her application process to UK schools especially when she barely had any knowledge about French. Emma enjoys French with such confidence now and we are already very proud of her achievement in French! Much appreciated!
