Margaret Skinner Caterham, Surrey
With several decades experience teaching primary school aged children,
Mrs. Skinner has vast knowledge which spans both the state and independent
sectors. Mrs. Skinner received her teaching qualification in 1955.
After 30 years teaching in English primary schools including two
years at the British School in Beirut, Mrs. Skinner took early retirement.
She has been tutoring with Fleet Tutors for fourteen years where
she specializes in helping children succeed at 11+, common entrance
and more recently 7/8+ entry exams.
Mrs. Skinner is a friendly and inspiring tutor. Her philosophy
is to make learning a pleasurable experience for the child. Mrs.
Skinner admits "I didn't enjoy school myself so decided when
I became a teacher to make sure learning is not an unpleasant effort
but is really and truly enjoyable". Mrs. Skinner's results
speak for themselves. The children she tutors regularly gain admission
to some of the leading independent and grammar schools, including
Croyden, Sutton and Reigate grammar schools.

Mr. Curtin completed his BSc Electrical Engineering in 1974. He
then earned a Post Graduate Certificate in Education in Physics

Brown brings a wealth of knowledge on how to help children succeed
in 7/8/11+ and common entrance exams. As a former Year 6 teacher
in a London prep school with several years' experience in the state

to independent sector. Mrs. Brown is also qualified in helping children
with learning difficulties such as dyslexia.
