My background

I am an experienced and dedicated tutor, having worked with young people for the last three years. I find tutoring a very rewarding job and enjoy seeing how proud students are with the progress they make from tutoring. Having worked extensively with autistic children, as well as a range of other abilities, I know the difference that can be made by tutors who are engaged and care about the young people they work with.

I achieved a first class degree from Oxford University. I also received the best dissertation in the year for my Masters thesis in Anthropology at the University of Sussex. As such, I can teach up to a very high level for English. However, due to my Masters I am also a specialist in Anthropology and Sociology, and very capable at teaching a wide variety of humanities subjects, including History of Art, History and Philosophy. I can also offer Maths and Science tuition up to high school level. As an Oxford graduate I can offer guidance on passing Oxbridge entrance exams and offer general interview practice.

I have a current and enhanced DBS check for the peace of mind of parents, also available on request.

I am a warm and lively person and will aim to make the sessions as fun as possible! My teaching style is: patient, understanding, relaxed, interactive, theme-based, and multi-disciplinary. Use of past papers, both Edexcel and AQA new and old specifications, analysis, evaluation, deconstruction of exam and essay questions, concepts, and requirements. Development of essay and exam structure. I pay particular attention to a student's self-confidence and self-expression, which often serve as catalysts for enhanced self-belief and, hence, success.
