One-on-one tutoring for Math and English. Tailored sessions, engaging activities, and regular feedback to help every child succeed.

I’m Padma, a passionate and friendly tutor with over 10 years of experience helping primary school children build confidence and love for learning. I specialise in one-to-one and small-group sessions for children in Reception to Year 7, focusing on developing strong foundations and problem-solving skills.
Since beginning my tutoring journey in 2014, I’ve worked with children of all abilities — from early learners to those preparing for 7+, 9+, 11+, and SATs. My teaching approach is calm, structured, and adaptable, ensuring every child feels supported and challenged at the right pace.
As both a qualified teacher and a mother of two, I understand the importance of motivation and positive reinforcement. I create a nurturing environment where children feel comfortable asking questions, enjoy learning, and grow in confidence with every session.

What parents are saying
Miss Padma is an excellent tutor who teaches 2 of my children once a week (7 and 8). She is incredibly patient and able to quickly adapt her teaching methods based on learning styles that best suit a child. The homework is always an extension of the lesson and allows for re-enforcing learning and the feedback at the end of each lesson is informative and constructive. I’ve been incredibly happy with her, the children enjoy their classes and it relieves stress for me as a full time working parent of 3 young children. Whether you want to ensure your child is maximising their potential, help studying for exams or just some extra support, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Padma was super flexible in helping us with some last minute tutoring for my daughter’s 11plus exam. She helped us quickly identify gaps in knowledge and provided us with the resources to address these gaps. I am hugely grateful for all the help - above all she gave Charley additional confidence going into the exam which was probably the most important aspect!
We have been with Padma for about two months now, and she has proven to be a very experienced and dedicated tutor. Most importantly, she is gentle, patient, and knows exactly how to encourage my son, who, like every child, has his own unique quirks and learning style. We feel very lucky to have found her.
Padma is very experienced and is able to understand and address my son's weaknesses, helping him improve. Her teaching materials are also rich and comprehensive. Highly recommended!
