About Elizabeth

I believe education should be accessible to every child — and above all, it should be fun, engaging, and meaningful. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work in some wonderful schools where I could shape lessons around children’s interests as well as their academic needs. This experience taught me how powerful it is when learning feels relevant, enjoyable, and tailored to the child in front of me. Working in smaller classes helped me refine the skills I now use in tutoring: focusing on the individual, building confidence, and inspiring a genuine desire to learn. I create each lesson to suit the child — whether that means stretching and challenging those who are ready to go further, or providing steady, supportive steps for those who need more time. For me, tutoring is more than teaching; it’s about building strong relationships, sparking curiosity, and sharing my love of learning. My goal is always the same: to help children take ownership of their education, grow in confidence, and see themselves as capable, enthusiastic learners.

About the lesson

With over 30 years’ teaching experience across KS1 and KS2 in both state and independent schools, I offer tailored one-to-one and small group tutoring that unlocks every child’s potential. I provide lessons both in person and online, supporting families with home schooling, after-school learning, SATs preparation, and entrance tests. I specialise in helping children who need extra time, a practical approach, or a confidence boost, including those with SEN such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia and dyscalculia. By adapting lessons to suit each child’s unique learning style, I help them build skills, independence, and a love of learning. My goal is simple: to give your child the tools, encouragement, and confidence they need to reach their full potential.

Mrs McDermott has been superb for our daughter. She has worked with her on her maths and we can see a completely new side to how our daughter applies this learning. She is more confident and able to share her learning but also ask for help on topics she is struggling with. We are so lucky Mrs McDermott is able to support her maths journey.

I would highly recommend Mrs. McDermott as a maths tuition teacher. She has an exceptional ability to adapt her teaching style to suit our daughter’s individual needs, making the subject far more approachable and engaging.

Since working with Mrs. McDermott, we have seen a real change in the way our daughter approaches maths. Her confidence has grown tremendously, which in turn has boosted her enthusiasm for the subject and her willingness to learn. Mrs. McDermott not only strengthens her understanding but also inspires her to enjoy the process of learning.

We are truly grateful for the positive impact she has had on our daughter’s education.

Elizabeth is an exceptional tutor who works with both of my sons, aged 8 and 14. We first met her when she was my youngest son's class teacher, and she has continued to build an amazing relationship with him. She knows how to challenge him and uses brilliant techniques that consistently get the best out of him. Because of her support, he's developed the skills and confidence he needs to excel in his higher-level Maths class at school.

My older son, who previously lacked confidence in Maths, has also started tutoring with Elizabeth. He's only been working with her for a few weeks, but he has already said that he has learned more with her than he has in his class at school. Elizabeth is always incredibly prepared, and it's clear she is a natural at bringing out the best in students of all skill levels. I'm so grateful for her support; both of my boys are truly thriving under her guidance.
