MagiKats Maths & English Workshops - Guildford, Farnham, Cobham & Mytchett in Mytchett

Thank you for taking the time to look at the MagiKats programme. My workshop runs at the Merrow Methodist Church, next to Bushy Hill School and is lively but focussed. We pride ourselves on the workshop being a friendly, welcoming and productive environment: students enjoy attending and we aim for them all to leave with a sense of achievement.



I have been running after school maths and English classes for over a decade, and I am passionate about helping children achieve their full potential in the least painless way possible! As a teacher I relish the chance to know children for many years, or sometimes their entire school career, and to provide them with security and consistency.



Having worked with various other methods, I decided that MagiKats was the best option for students in my area, thanks to the support we are able to offer on the UK National Curriculum. MagiKats covers both core and applied skills (e.g. grammar alongside free writing), and incorporates activities and personal contact to bring fun to the children’s education. I offer SATs, GCSE and entrance exam revision courses to regularly enrolled students, although short term revision programmes are also available, and can take maths students through the first year of A-level.



My favourite aspect of MagiKats is that students get the individual approach that they need, and that they work in small groups where they are actually taught by a qualified mentor. All of the mentors working with me have been carefully selected to provide support across the full subject and age range. They have all received full training and hold appropriate qualifications, including an enhanced CRB check.



I always welcome new students to my Tuition Centre, and it is possible to visit the workshop by prior arrangement. Please get in touch with me via this site, email or the telephone. I am in the office Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, but am in workshops most afternoons. However, please leave a message on my answerphone and I will call you back, or you can leave a message on or text my mobile.



Following your enquiry, I can usually carry out a placement within a couple of weeks and then your child is welcome to start attending workshops almost immediately. If you have an urgent problem, then please let me know and I will do my best to fit you in. I hope that you find the information here clear and easy to understand. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Welcome to MagiKats Farnham. You will find us in the heart of the town, in Carlton Yard – the newly built complex with access from Central car park. The Mytchett class is held at the Mytchett Community Centre on the main road through Mytchett. Our Tuition Centre is a comfortable, friendly environment to which we welcome our students all year round.

I was the originator of the MagiKats programme and so, of course, it is very close to my heart. Having been involved in education and training for decades, I put it together to allow students who attend to receive a boost at school from their earliest days with us, coupled with any gap filling and consolidation that they may need. It is a joy, every day, to see students benefit whether from enrichment, consolidation or remedial programmes. It is also a pleasure to see them enjoy learning through the range of activities that we offer.

At MagiKats, every student completes work of scope and difficulty that is brought together just for them. They are not just being slotted into a predefined, general linear programme.

I hope you find the information on our website clear (remember to watch the video!) but please do get in touch if you have any questions or would like to discuss your child. I am in the office during most mornings, but am often at workshops in the afternoons. If you leave a message on my answerphone, I will call you back promptly.
