Private Tutor and Academic Mentor for GCSE Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, 7+ and 11+ preparation, and university and career mentorship

• BSc Economics, LSE
• 17+ years tutoring
• 10 A* grades at GCSE

Anyla is a highly experienced private tutor and academic mentor with over 17 years of experience tutoring students from Year 7 to Year 11 in preparation for GCSEs in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. She has also supported primary school students preparing for 7+ and 11+ entrance examinations, including mathematics, verbal and non-verbal reasoning.

She studied BSc Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), having previously attended South Hampstead High School. She was awarded an academic scholarship after achieving 10 A* grades at GCSE and has tutored consistently ever since.

Alongside her tutoring career, Anyla has built a successful professional career in the banking and hedge fund industry, with 6 years of experience in Trade Finance and 5 years specialising in Early Careers training and recruitment across internships, apprenticeships and graduate programmes.

Throughout her tutoring career, she has worked extensively with students from leading independent schools, particularly across Hampstead, St John's Wood, Highgate and Little Venice. She has also supported high-net-worth and high-profile families, including celebrity families, where discretion and confidentiality have been of particular importance.

A highly personalised and motivational approach

Anyla believes that the most effective tutoring is built on trust, genuine connection and a deep understanding of the individual student.

Her teaching style is motivational, engaging and highly personalised. She takes time to understand each student's personality, learning style, academic strengths and areas for development, adapting her approach so they feel both supported and appropriately challenged.

While focusing on effective examination technique to secure strong academic results, Anyla also builds lasting confidence, intellectual curiosity and independent problem-solving skills.

She has extensive experience working with students of varying academic abilities and learning styles, including those with ADHD, students experiencing anxiety and young people navigating difficult personal circumstances or important milestones.

Her ability to establish strong working relationships creates an environment in which students feel comfortable asking questions, overcoming setbacks and developing confidence in their own abilities.

A proven track record of academic success

Over 17 years, Anyla has successfully prepared students for entrance examinations at highly regarded independent schools, including Highgate School, University College School (UCS), Haberdashers' School, South Hampstead High School and Channing School.

She has supported numerous students to significant improvements in their GCSE results, including students initially predicted grades 5-6 who went on to achieve predominantly grades 8-9. Anyla has tutored across all major GCSE examination boards, including AQA, Edexcel and OCR.

Her approach combines a strong understanding of the curriculum with carefully tailored teaching, targeted examination practice and consistent encouragement.

Anyla recognises that academic improvement often begins with a change in confidence and mindset. She works closely with students to identify barriers to progress, strengthen their understanding of challenging concepts and develop the motivation and self-belief needed to exceed expectations.

Building lasting relationships with students and families

One of Anyla's greatest strengths is her ability to build meaningful, long-term relationships with the families she supports.

She has worked with multiple siblings within the same families for over a decade, often mentoring students through several important milestones: from school entrance examinations and secondary school transitions to GCSEs, university choices and early career decisions.

These longstanding relationships reflect the trust families place in her, and her commitment to understanding each student as an individual and supporting them over the long term.

As students grow and their needs evolve, Anyla's role frequently extends beyond academic tuition to that of a trusted mentor, offering encouragement, perspective and guidance during formative years.

She places great importance on positive relationships with parents, maintaining open communication and providing a consistent, reliable and discreet service.

Beyond tutoring: university and career mentorship

In addition to her academic expertise, Anyla brings a distinctive professional perspective from her career in banking and the hedge fund industry.

With five years of experience in early careers recruitment and development, she has designed and delivered graduate, internship and apprenticeship programmes, developed training initiatives and supported young professionals entering highly competitive industries.

This gives her valuable insight into university-to-career pathways and the qualities sought by leading employers. For older students, she can offer additional mentorship on:

• University and degree choices
• Career exploration
• Spring weeks and internships
• Graduate recruitment opportunities

By bridging academic education with real-world professional experience, she helps students see how their studies connect to their longer-term ambitions.

A trusted mentor invested in long-term success

Anyla's approach is underpinned by a genuine passion for education and for helping young people fulfil their potential.

She understands that every student is different and that successful tutoring requires more than subject expertise. It requires patience, adaptability, motivation and a relationship in which students feel understood, encouraged and inspired to succeed.

Having worked with families over many years, including those for whom privacy and discretion are especially important, she appreciates the responsibility and trust involved in becoming part of a child's educational journey.

Her goal is not simply to help students achieve excellent examination results, but to equip them with the confidence, independence and ambition to succeed well beyond the classroom.
