Holly Smith

Experienced 1:1 tutor in a range of GCSE and Secondary School subjects. I take an adaptable approach, am learner led, and hold good rapport with students lacking in confidence, struggle with school environments, or feeling like they are always in catch up mode.

I like to provide a safe space for learning where the student feels respected, like we are a team tackling the challenges together, and that our sessions are a boost in learning, confidence, and wellbeing.

The sessions are designed as boosters for specific topics or skills students wish to improve on rather than long term engagement. Those skills can be figured out in a get-to-know-me call if they are in need of support but not sure where to start. Message for a free consultation.

(A little more about me outside of tutoring: In my day job I'm an impact investing professional and engage with tutoring because I experienced gaps in my education and could have done with this service when I was at school. I'm a passion-driven, energetic person with core values in sustainable development and social responsibility. Accessibility is my motivation - whether it's access to education, gender equality, environmental justice, financial literacy.)

A previous testimony: “Holly has been tutoring my Year 10 daughter over the lockdown period. She has provided her with the extra support and guidance that was really needed - keeping her reassured and on track whilst she was unable to go to school. The support that she provides is full of energy and somehow she has even made chemistry fun. They’ve built up a lovely working relationship and Holly now helps my daughter in many subjects as and when she requires. Holly’s style is both versatile and adaptable. I would recommend Holly’s services to anybody considering a tutor over the summer holidays.”
