About Gemma
Hello, I’m Dr Gemma, a PGCE-qualified lecturer, with over 15 years’ experience working in education.
Throughout my career I have taught in a wide range of academic environments, including supplementary education schools, an ILM leadership training centre, FE colleges, schools and universities across Wales. This experience has given me a good understanding of how students progress through the education system and what is required to succeed at each stage.
I specialise in supporting students preparing for university, for private school scholarship applications and entrance exams, International Baccalaureate programmes, Welsh Baccalaureate qualifications, and university applications.
Since 2013 my students have maintained a 100% pass rate, with many securing scholarships and places at highly selective schools and international programmes including full scholarships to Howell’s School, Monmouth School for Girls, and more recently an International Baccalaureate admission to UWC India, a highly competitive international college known for its academic excellence.
Alongside tutoring, I work as a developmental editor within the publishing industry, supporting authors in developing manuscripts for publication. This experience allows me to help students develop clear, persuasive academic writing and strong personal statements for competitive applications.

I support neurodiverse learners, using differentiated teaching strategies that allow students to build confidence and succeed at their own pace.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I met Gemma when studying for my A levels in 2025 and she helped so much!
I was studying English Literature and Gemma made this course so much more interesting, she always encouraged me to do my best and to keep gong when it was hard.
She not only provided me with advice for my English A levels but she was also a friend that I could talk to and she is so kind and listened to everything I said in all my sessions and every session was engaging and I learnt so much! She made studying fun and helped me to write my personal statement too! With this I was accepted to study Speech and Language in Cardiff Metropolitan.
I have Gemma to thank for so much and I am so appreciative for her!
She’s the best English tutor you could get! She is a powerful women!
