Izzie Russell

If you’re looking for a tutor who will take the time to understand you, rather than simply focus on grades, my lessons are designed to be supportive, practical and personalised to your needs.

With 13 years of experience working in early years and education, a first-class degree in Psychology, and experience mentoring apprentices, I bring a broad range of knowledge and real-world experience to my sessions. I can support students with ADHD and other learning needs, as well as provide tutoring in primary-level English, GCSE Psychology and English Functional Skills qualifications.

Our sessions will be relaxed, encouraging and interactive. We’ll start by getting to know your strengths, interests and goals, and then work together to find strategies that suit the way you learn. Whether you need help with revision, organisation, motivation, time management, procrastination or breaking overwhelming tasks into manageable steps, we’ll focus on practical strategies you can actually use.

If you’re working towards a qualification, I can help you understand difficult topics, build confidence, practise exam or assessment skills and identify areas for improvement. If you’re looking for broader support, we can also work on study skills, independence, routines, communication, confidence and everyday life skills.

I believe learning should feel achievable, not overwhelming. There’s no judgement if you’re struggling, and no expectation that you have everything figured out already. My aim is for you to finish each session feeling heard, more confident and clear about your next steps. Together, we’ll build confidence, celebrate your progress, and develop skills for lasting success.
