  • I offer flexible scheduling allowing sessions to be planned around your family’s routine.

I instructed Nadine to tutor my 9 year old daughter in preparation for her last years at primary school and to build confidence in facing the Kent test. Nadine was always reliable and boosted confidence in all areas of my daughter's learning. Nadine gave feedback on her improvement and the end of every session and discussed any areas of learning between sessions that could be of benefit. Nadine is a pleasure to know and dedicated to her teaching.

Nadine supported Beatrice for two years with general lessons and confidence and resilience tutoring. I’ve found Nadine to be kind and exceptional in her care of my daughter’s emotional wellbeing along with academic lessons. My daughter had lessons weekly and the confidence she gave Beatrice will last a life time.

Sincerely, Sian W.

Nadine Kuti worked with my son to help him prepare for the Kent test. She was well recommended by another very busy tutor. We were happy to receive her at home. She would come formally once a week respecting the agreed times. A pleasant person, easy to have around. My son enjoyed her mentoring, he worked well with her reviewing all subjects, where maths was reinforced. He passed the test with good grades which got him into DGSB.

What is My Approach?

Personal Relationships

Building an authentic connection, gaining trust and mutual respect are essential for students to learn well. The high level of rapport is important to me.

Patience and Flexibility

Some concepts taught will be initially unfamiliar and challenging but your child will master these with my support. I will be patient and identify techniques to meet your child’s learning requirements.

Engaging Lessons

Children learn more easily when they are relaxed and engaged. My lessons are enjoyable, in the comfort of your home, using a mixture of textbooks and technology.

Feedback

Clear and actionable feedback is key. Inclusive of the session, I will always brief you and your child on what went well and highlight areas of improvement. Homework will be set upon request.

What's the price?

Individual lessons are £35 per hour.

Two children are £50 per hour (£25 each). If one child is however unavailable for the session it is £35 for the individual lesson.
