Jennie Segar

Jennie has been an educator for over 30 years, specialising most recently in preparing students for the rigours of the highly competitive examination process of the UK school entry at 7+, 11+ and 13+. Prior to this, she worked as a classroom teacher in both primary and secondary schools in private and state sectors. She also spent a number of years working as a peripatetic music teacher with students of all ages, and has worked with families as a governess and nanny, travelling all over the world in these roles.

Jennie has two lovely children who have inspired and educated her most of all throughout her life. They are the reason she decided to write her latest book, Maximise your Child’s Performance, as she wanted to pass on all the amazing things she had learnt on her educator’s journey.

Jennie was lucky enough to do her first degree at Oxford University, and has done a number of additional degrees since that time. She is qualified to teach both arts and sciences.

Jennie is passionate about seeing equality in the education system and would like the educational opportunities she has been fortunate to receive to be open to all, regardless of a child’s socioeconomic background. Her hope is that her book will help parents and carers optimise their child’s capabilities in order for us all to move a step closer to this goal.

Jennie lived for many years in and around London but now resides in the heart of the Lake District. She continues to support her students by tutoring them online. She has two adorable dogs, loves walking them on the fells most days and enjoys playing tennis surrounded by the beauty of where she lives.
