Hello

I’m Serena, the founder of WatKel Tutors.

For nearly four years, I’ve been tutoring and mentoring students who want to feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and more in control of their learning. My teaching style is calm, patient and supportive – I know how intimidating it can feel to ask for help, so I work hard to create a space where students feel heard, understood and never judged.

If you’re looking for a friendly, down-to-earth tutor who will meet you where you are and help you find what works for you, you’re in the right place.

My Story

WatKel Tutors grew out of my own experiences in education and my work supporting young people.

I studied Politics and International Relations at the University of Nottingham and am now completing an MSc in Environmental Change and International Development at the University of Sheffield. While studying, I began tutoring and mentoring and quickly saw how many students were struggling not just with content but also with confidence, representation, and feeling truly seen in the classroom.

I founded WatKel Tutors to change that – to create a learning space where students, especially Black students and those from underrepresented backgrounds, can see their identities and experiences reflected in the people who support them.
