About Sheena
Hello! I’m Sheena, a Cambridge graduate and Masters-educated tutor with over 14 years’ experience supporting students from primary school through to A Level. I specialise in 11+, 7+, and 8+ entrance exams, helping children from both state and independent schools gain places at top schools including NLCS, City of London, Highgate, Latymer, Beth’s Grammar, and more. I’m also a counselling trainee, which informs my compassionate, student-centred approach. I focus not just on exam success, but on building confidence, resilience, and a love of learning, tailoring each lesson to a child’s strengths, challenges, and learning style. Mistakes are treated as opportunities to learn, and achievements are celebrated to encourage independence and curiosity. In addition to tutoring, I am an independent documentary filmmaker, exploring social and economic issues. This experience allows me to bring creativity, real-world examples, and storytelling into lessons, making them engaging and memorable. I teach both in-person and online, including international students, using interactive tools and personalised materials. I also tutor Economics and Psychology at GCSE and A-Level, bringing the same engaging, supportive approach to older students. I am passionate about helping students grow academically and personally, and I would love to help you reach your goals while enjoying the learning journey!

Lesson Details: - Typical lessons last 60–90 minutes, depending on the student’s needs. - I offer in-person and online lessons, including for international students, using interactive tools and tailored materials. Qualifications & Experience: - BA in Economics (Cambridge), MA in Globalisation and Development (SOAS) - CELTA-certified and currently completing a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling - 14+ years’ experience tutoring primary and secondary students - Professional experience in international development and documentary filmmaking, which enriches lessons with creativity and real-world context

I'd highly recommend Sheena She's is a very encouraging and nurturing tutor. She tailors classes to suit her students' needs and is great at explaining tricky concepts and ideas.
Sheena was a brilliant tutor to my 10-year-old daughter. She was very patient and empathetic, and managed to establish a good rapport with her. My daughter's maths, English and reasoning skills greatly improved. Would definitely recommend Sheena as a tutor!
