Experienced primary school teacher and tutor. I taught as a teacher in a classroom for 12 years before focusing on tutoring since 2019. My teaching focus is 4 years old to 11 years old.

Despina and I met at work. I can't speak highly enough of her tutoring. Her approach is very structured, organised and tailored to each kid. She has been brilliant with my son. Before each session begins, she takes time to listen to my son instead of rushing straight into the lesson. During the tutorial, she encourages him to share his ideas and express himself, this has really helped him build up his confidence.
It is clear that my son really enjoys his sessions with her. After each session, Despina provides helpful feedback on his progress, highlighting his improvements and the areas where I can support him at home.
Even after just one session I noticed a positive difference. My son is now more confident in speaking and pronunciation, and he even asks to practice more at home, which is very wonderful to see.

For many years, I have worked alongside Despina in various educational settings. Through observing her work, I can confidently say that she is an exceptional tutor who can achieve great results, whatever the need. I have always admired her patient, steady approach to teaching. Despina excels at creating a calm, low-stress environment where students feel safe to ask questions and learn at their own pace. She has a wonderful ability to break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps, helping to ease any academic anxiety a student might be feeling. Beyond her deep knowledge of the curriculum, she is incredibly reliable, encouraging, and focused on building a student’s long-term confidence. If you are looking for a gentle, highly skilled educator who will truly support your child's growth, I highly recommend working with her.

I have known Despina for over 10 years, both as a close friend and as an outstanding teaching colleague at a primary school.

As a primary-trained teacher, Despina brings a deep understanding of how learners develop and thrive.

She teaches to an exceptionally high standard, combining clear explanations, engaging methods, and personalised support that builds both confidence and strong academic foundations.

She is approachable, friendly and patient with learners while also helping them to reach their full potential.
