About Laura
I’ve been teaching since 2000, and graduated with a BSc (hons) degree in Applied Psychology/ Sociology from the University of Surrey in 1997. I gained my postgraduate QTS in 2003. I’ve taught sociology and psychology GCSE and A level (AQA syllabus) throughout my career, including a 7 year period working full time running my own private tuition business tutoring Sociology, Psychology, English language & literature and maths. I am an AQA exam marker for sociology A level and have focussed on paper 2 for the last few years. I am an experienced, friendly teacher and believe that a supportive and safe environment where a student feels able to ask questions, pause lessons & raise issues is the basis for successful development of learning. Divorced, almost 50, mum to one teen & 4 rescue animals. Devoted to my son. Enormous animal lover. Avid reader. I live by the sea and plan to retire by the sea elsewhere in the world.

Laura Hawkins was instrumental in helping our daughter Daisy pass her 11+ exams. Her expertise and dedication made all the difference. Laura quickly identified Daisy's strengths and areas for improvement, tailoring her teaching approach to suit Daisy's learning style. Laura's ability to make complex topics understandable and engaging gave Daisy the confidence she needed to succeed. Beyond just academic support, Laura's encouragement and positive attitude truly motivated Daisy. We are incredibly grateful for Laura’s guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch tutor!
Laura is a very kind, understanding, professional tutor. My daughter had no confidence in herself and clammed up with tutors as she felt they made her feel stupid. Laura put her at ease and gave her confidence to achieve.
With Laura’s tutoring she passed her maths gcse, she would not have be able to do this without her help.Laura was a brilliant tutor to two of my children. Professional but very personalable and funny, she makes learning fun and interesting. The kids loved her, as did we. Highly recommend.
Laura tutored my oldest daughter in English and Maths preparing her to take both the 11+ and the CEM. My daughter scored high on both exams giving her the choice of grammar schools to attend. Coming from the USA to England I don’t think we would have been as successful if we did not have Laura working with us. Her support and guidance was invaluable. I would definitely recommend Laura for tutoring.
Laura is a fantastic tutor and she tutored my son during his GCSE exams. She motivated my son in order to achieve his best possible grades. A professional and inspirational lady!
Laura is an excellent tutor who is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Laura is patient, conscientious and he understands that students learn in a multitude of ways. I would highly recommend laura as a tutor.
Laura worked with my autistic son, helping him with English & Maths during 1:1 tuition sessions. She made him feel so comfortable & at ease from the very first session & always made everything fun! She has such a lovely way about her. My son gained his GCSEs, going on to study at a local FE college. We would totally recommend Laura!
Laura is a marvellous tutor.
My daughter had lessons weekly for 2 years & always looked forward to them. Initially was face to face at Laura's home moving to online during 2020 due to covid.
Laura kept her engaged & made learning easy to understand. She thoroughly enjoyed her sessions.
Highly recommend Laura, a fantastic teacher!Laura taught my Daughter for a good few years. She is a fabulous tutor, and gave great time and attention to my Daughter.
Laura is kind, friendly and trustworthy, and always goes that extra mile. My Daughter was always happy after her lessons, telling me all about what she had done.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura to other parents/carers.Laura taught me A-Level psychology twenty years ago. She was my favourite teacher and inspired me to pursue a career in teaching myself - I am now a head of English in a large comprehensive school. Laura’s lessons were inspiring, engaging and fun! But, most importantly, I also learnt so much from her. It is the only A-Level I still have a vivid memory of as I still remember most of the studies and research today mostly due to her effective teaching. I highly recommend laura to anyone who is looking to learn.
