About Grainne
I’m a warm, enthusiastic and engaging tutor. I graduated with a First Class Honours in Music and Italian (BMUS) from University College Cork, and have a distinction in my diploma in Postgraduate Acting from the prestigious Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Other subjects taken at university level include English, French and German. I have over 12 years of teaching experience, and am highly skilled at communicating to all ages - from 3 to 60! Specialist subjects include 7+, 11+, music, singing, drama, English, creative writing, Maths (up to 13+) interview preparation and public speaking.

My lessons are structured around the student and meet them where they are at. I take a very holistic approach; and while aspects of my tutoring are the same with each student (content of the 11+, for example), I take each student as an individual, with individual needs. More than anything, I instil a sense of confidence in them that anything is possible.
I only teach hourly lessons as that seems to be the perfect length - however, I keep my lessons fun so that students often comment it's as if only 10 minutes have passed!
I have over 15 years experience as a tutor. Some of the places my students have attained places at, including scholarships, include: Dulwich College, JAGS, Alleyn's, St Dunstan's, Sydenham High, Clapham and Streatham, The Charter School, Tudor Hall, Eton College, Harrow, Royal Russell, Prebendal School.
I specialise in entrance assessments, but also have helped students with their GCSEs.
Recommendations

Grainne has tutored me over many years for both English and Maths. I struggled and had large content gaps in maths in the build up towards GCSEs which was very stressful, but with Grainne’s help I was comfortably able to achieve a grade 7, allowing me to continue with Economics at A level. Her careful, methodical approach to teaching combined with her enthusiastic and experienced character made it a far more enjoyable process than it otherwise would have been and I cannot recommend her enough. Incidentally, I am currently doing English A level on the back of some earlier tutoring. No matter what level, she has the expertise to be of great help and would be a fantastic choice of Tutor.
Grainne has worked with both of my children and has really boosted their confidence in maths. She is very good at instilling self-belief and knows how to use alternative methods for children with different learning styles to the norm. She is patient, friendly and reliable; I warmly recommend her.
Grainne is a wonderful tutor. She worked with our daughter in the run up to the 11+ and quickly identified gaps in her knowledge and came up with a plan to bridge them. Most important, she did this in a way that was entertaining and supportive and helped our daughter to regain her confidence in a number of areas. We’d worked with some other tutors previously, who were lovely, but Grainne managed the perfect balance of being results focused (for us) and nuturing (for our daughter). Highly recommend.
I have no hesitation in recommending Grainne in the highest possible terms. She started tutoring my daughter during lockdown and supported her through her eventual return to school and beyond. Grainne quickly identified the gaps in my daughter's learning and found innovative and creative ways to inspire her to fill them. Over the course of her tutoring sessions with Grainne, my daughter went from saying she hated the subject to saying it was her favourite, and from being given extra support at school to being one of the handful in her class who would finish all the extension tasks. She passed her entrance exams to secondary with flying colours and her latest school report at secondary described her ability and progress as 'brilliant'. Who could ask for more!
