Summary

I'm an experienced tutor, 'Outstanding' teacher and Oxford graduate with a track record of improving the confidence and academic performance of students. I would be delighted to work with you.

Experience

I previously taught in a secondary school where I was awarded the 'Outstanding' grade for the quality of my teaching. I have also been a GCSE examiner for the past two years and therefore know that my knowledge of examination criteria is of an exceptional standard. I also have several years of tutoring experience, with my tutees consistently improving their academic performance and confidence in their chosen subject.

In addition to tutoring for history, geography and politics, I also provide support for university applications and am happy to offer guidance for the Oxbridge application process. I have previously have led admissions sessions offering advice to prospective Oxford applicants and have also worked for the University's own summer school programme dedicated to improving applications from under-represented state schools.

I have a track record of helping tutees to make excellent progress and improve their examination performance, including several students who have achieved A/A* grades and received offers from their chosen universities, including Oxford.

I believe that the structure of the tutorial-style system is a great way to help those tutees who are keen to improve their subject knowledge, writing style, and exam performance. Our first tutorial will always take the form of establishing areas which you would like to work on. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a tutee improve in confidence and ability over time, and I consider my role as tutor to be a facilitator and enabler for this to happen. I will always work as hard as possible to ensure my tutees achieve the aims that we established at the beginning of our sessions, and in return I expect the same level of effort from my students.

My greatest strength as a tutor is my positive approach to improving the confidence and academic performance of my students. I believe that a strong relationship is at the core of a successful tutoring partnership, and my tutoring style ensures that I do not merely spoon-feed my tutees, but instead encourages them to become independent learners and passionate subject specialists in their own right. When tutoring A-Level history for example, my role is not to provide the dates or facts that could be obtained from a textbook, but to coach my students on how to improve their confidence and on the best way to approach an essay question. When looking back at my own experiences at school, it was those teachers that believed in me that were the ones that inspired and motivated me to achieve the best that I could, and that is something that I replicate in my own tutoring sessions. Every student is capable of achieving their potential, and with my help I feel that I can develop their determination, resilience, and ability.
