Hi there, I’m Andrea!

I’m a secondary-level tutor with 25+ years’ experience helping students nail GCSEs and A Levels, especially Geography, Spanish, and Social Sciences, plus IELTS and UK boarding school entry (Common Entrance, interviews, scholarships).

I spent nearly a decade in Shanghai working with Chinese families preparing for schools like Oundle, Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Rugby, and The King’s School Canterbury. That time taught me how to bridge British curricula with Chinese learning habits, build confidence in English, and support students’ wellbeing through big transitions. Since then, I’ve continued tutoring students in the UK and internationally, both in person and online.

My style is calm, structured, and encouraging: clear goals, lots of practice, smart feedback, and simple routines for essays, revision, and time management. I’m fluent in English, speak Mandarin at B1 and write at B2, and I’m fluent in Spanish—handy for subject support.

If you’re looking for friendly, focused support—whether it’s raising grades, securing a boarding school place, or getting that IELTS score, I’d love to help. Let’s chat about your goals and make a plan that works.
