Hannah completed her undergraduate degree at the University of St Andrews and did her research project on the neuromuscular disorder Parkinson’s disease.
She then qualified as a Bowen Therapy practitioner before completing an international PGCE at the University of Sheffield. More recently, Hannah completed a Masters in Molecular Biology, studying with the Centre for European Master's Programmes and the University of Chichester.
In 2009, Hannah founded Tuition Matters and began working full-time as a private tutor; she has since taught over 700 British and international students in one-to-one, classroom, and online lessons.
With established links to UK schools and teaching experience in the French private sector, Hannah brings a well-rounded outlook to education and student preparation.
Hannah specialises in preparing students for entry into medicine, dentistry, veterinary, and biological science courses at university with a focus on high-achieving Biology A-Level results as well as the BioMedical Admissions Test (BMAT) and University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) during the summer and autumn.
Hannah has previously taught in the French private sector at the prestigious Epitech Montpellier (École pour l'informatique et les nouvelles technologies, also known as the European Institute of Technology).
Since 2018, Hannah has also worked as a UCAS adviser for Connexcel Ltd, supporting international students with their applications to British universities. Hannah has a 100% success rate in interview invitations for students applying to G5 universities.
Aside from the UK, Hannah has previously lived and worked in France, the Netherlands, and New Zealand and has a keen interest in differing international pedagogical approaches and how this can affect attainment levels of students.
Outside the classroom, Hannah enjoys spending as much time as possible outdoors through running, cycling, skiing and walking. She spent four years in the Territorial Army while at university and likes to test her physical and mental endurance with events such as the Three Peaks Challenge and trail races.
Her three children are bilingual (French-English) and are raised using Montessori-inspired learning. Living sustainably is important to Hannah and enables her to combine a love of biology with everyday living.
