About Pippa
I'm an English tutor based online, originally from the Yorkshire Dales and now working remotely while travelling across Europe - often from somewhere near a mountain!
I hold a First-Class BSc in Biomedical Sciences, an MSc in Biomedical Sciences, and an MSc in Science Communication, alongside a TEFL certification. Before moving into English language teaching, I gained tutoring experience in Biology at GCSE and A-level, which sharpened my ability to explain complex material in a clear, accessible way.
I'm particularly drawn to working with motivated learners who have a specific goal - whether that's passing an exam or advancing professionally.
I've worked on platforms focused on English as a second language with healthcare professionals preparing for OET and IELTS, and with students navigating the demands of GCSE and A-level English.
Outside of teaching, I'm a software developer and an avid climber, which takes me regularly into the mountains across Europe. I think both pursuits have made me a better tutor - climbing teaches you that progress comes from breaking a hard problem into smaller steps and trusting the process, which is exactly how I approach language learning with my students.

I offer online English lessons for GCSE and A-level students, as well as health professionals preparing for the OET or IELTS exams.
My approach is calm, patient, and structured. Lessons typically follow a PPP framework (Presentation, Practice, Production): we introduce a language point, practise it together, then use it in natural conversation. This keeps lessons purposeful without feeling rigid. I adapt everything - topics, pace, and focus - to your goals and level.
I hold a TEFL certification and a degree in Science Communication, which gives me a strong foundation in breaking down complex ideas clearly and simply. My background in Biomedical Sciences also means I'm particularly well-placed to support healthcare professionals preparing for OET, as I understand the clinical contexts and vocabulary involved.
I use articles, discussion topics, past papers, and real-world materials to build vocabulary and fluency, providing real-time corrections on grammar, phrasing, and naturalness throughout, as well as exam structured answers to help you achieve top band answers.
Lessons are typically 50 minutes and suitable for teenagers and adults, whether you're building everyday confidence, preparing for an exam, or need clear professional English for your career.

I have taught Pippa through her BSc about 10 years ago and had the privilege to follow her subsequent career and development since graduation. Pippa has a deep knowledge about her subject and has consistently demonstrated a substantial ability to communicate that knowledge, hence she would make an excellent teacher. Pippa also communicates her enthusiasm about her subject hence motivates and inspires those she teaches.
We have known Pippa for around fifteen years, first meeting her as a talented junior fell runner. Since then, she has consistently demonstrated focus, determination, and an impressive ability to apply herself across a wide range of disciplines.
An adventurer at heart, Pippa has built a lifestyle that allows her to pursue her passions for climbing and travel, while also developing her professional skills. Notably, she has taught herself to code and successfully expanded into software development, reflecting both her drive and intellectual curiosity.
Pippa has faced significant health challenges over the years, yet her resilience and commitment to personal growth have remained unwavering. She continues to achieve and inspire others, particularly through her thoughtful and insightful writing, which resonates strongly with those facing similar challenges.
With a deep and well-developed knowledge of the biological sciences, Pippa is now focusing on one-to-one coaching, where her ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and support others’ development will undoubtedly have a meaningful impact.
We continue to follow her journey with admiration and wish her every success.

Pippa is an excellent tutor. She explains everything perfectly. It really helps me understand fully what I’m meant to be saying. She has been brilliant and I really recommend her
Pippa is a really nice person, with a really big patient, I have been doing lessons with her and to be hones... I wish I meet her earlier when I came to the uk and I was that struggling.
I am Spanish, so... English is not my first lenguage, neither my second. As well I am dyslexic, I have ADD and autism, that makes more difficult for me to make sense of what I read or I try to say, sometimes I dont find the world in english and i say it in spains, and now that I speak in English.... it happens me the same when I speak in my own lenguage, but she is always there to help me.
The lessons are really dynamic, I was a dude that I was always bored in school... and didnt pay to much atention, with her is been the oposite, good chats and communications, she tries to make everything funny, because learn doesn't mean to be just hearing, its mean practicing and the best way to do it is with a good chat, so.... she can correct you and explain you why you mistake and when.
I dont know i really felt that I have been learning a lot with her and had a good time at the same time. Thanks for everything PippaI have been studying for my English Language GCSE as a mature student. I was recommended Pippa personally by a family friend and she has been an amazing tutor. She is very good at picking up what I need to do to move up a level, and setting engaging tasks to work through together as well as providing amazing feedback. I am so happy I found her, she has made a big difference to my confidence and ability, and I'm happy to be able to give something back in the form of a recommendation!
Pippa is a great teacher, very clear and concise. She is patient and thorough in her teachings.
Really brilliant teacher , very patient as I can be slow to pick things up sometimes but Pippa is really relaxed ️️️️️
