About Me
I am Marion and I have been a Prep School teacher for 20 years. I have taught children of all ages from 4 years old, teaching them to read and write, all the way up to 11 or 13 when they do their 11+ or 13+ to move up to their next school. I have spent many years in classrooms both in well-known country Prep Schools and top London day schools, and been Head of two Pre-Preps and a Prep School of over 300 children.
I have taught all subjects to all ages and am passionate about educating our children properly, through building self-belief and confidence in each individual child. I want to share my experience to help, advise and empower parents on almost any school-related topic. Maths, though, has become my specialism over the years, and I have actively sought out the lower “sets” to teach, throughout the school, as I love helping build confidence and self-belief in children who find Maths a bit tricky, or just think they are a bit rubbish at it! It is wonderful when children who found it hard, grow to love it and even declare that Maths is their favourite subject!
