Danielle H.

I'm a career tutor with a dedicated love of learning that drives my teaching practice. That love began with a deep passion for History, discovered when I first started studying Modern History at GCSE, the subject that made me want to properly understand things rather than just learn them for an exam. That same curiosity carried into English, and I went on to study English and Creative Writing at Dartington College of Arts, graduating with a First.

This love of learning led me to become a full-time career tutor, specialising across a range of subjects and helping students navigate and succeed in their exams. I teach English Literature, History, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Maths, and Economics at GCSE, A-Level, and IB level, working with students who want a tutor who genuinely enjoys the subject alongside them, not just one who delivers a syllabus.

Over time, this developed into a wider consultancy role: curriculum planning, homeschooling, school transitions, and university admissions guidance. It's taken me from local tutoring to working with families across Rome, Berwickshire, Almaty, and Moscow, travelling with students and building homeschool programmes around their needs.

Over 10 years' experience as a private tutor and educational consultant for international families, spanning primary through university-prep levels across the UK, Italy, Kazakhstan, and Russia.

• Educational Consultant & Private Tutor, Self-Employed (2016–Present) — Curriculum planning, homeschooling, exam prep, and university admissions guidance for UHNW international families.
• Tutor, Moscow (2024–2025) — A-Level Sociology and Economics.
• Homeschool Teacher, Almaty (2023–2024) — UK Year 4 curriculum.
• Homeschool Teacher, Berwickshire (2020–2023) — UK curriculum, Years 7–9.
• Tutor, Rome (2016–2020) — GCSE, A-Level, IB support; students placed at Oxford and Yale.

I start with the whole child, not the syllabus, understanding how a student learns before building their curriculum around it, whether UK National Curriculum, GCSE, A-Level, or IB. I work in long-term partnership with families, often for years, adapting as the student grows rather than delivering a fixed programme, and pairing academic rigour with real pastoral care, including through relocations and school transitions for internationally mobile families.

With over ten years' experience across the UK, Italy, Russia, Kazakhstan, and the UAE, I've helped students secure places at universities including Oxford and Yale, offering families one trusted educator who knows their child well enough to guide them through every stage.
