Having worked consistently in as Humanities expert in the sector for over a decade, Daisy-May has a strong national and international profile.
The majority of her work is private and one-to-one, though she has been recruited to work as an intervention specialist by schools and colleges, including The BRIT School, where she has accrued significant classroom experience.
She has worked extensively with students from pre-school to Masters Level, and has seen first-hand thousands of times just how powerful and effective the tutor-tutee relationship can be as a catalyst for learner development.
She has an unbeatable track record of helping students gain entrance to their first choice of school. These have included (but are not limited to) Eton, Westminster, Alleyn’s, St Paul’s School for Girls, JAGS, and Wycomb Abbey. She understands the challenges posed by the application process and can help students and families with every aspect of the journey, from choosing the right school to preparing for the interview.
