My approach to tutoring is very similar to the way in which I study myself. I will follow the mark scheme and course content carefully for optimum success in exams. Second to this, I encourage wider reading and discussion to consolidate an understanding of the course content used in class. With exam revision I remind students to identify relevant and irrelevant factors and to break their revision down into memorable bullet points. With coursework essays I remind students to consider their writing against what is asked of them in the mark scheme, ensuring that they fulfil all criteria for the top mark bracket.
I have been tutoring students for about four years whilst completing academic research of my own. I am currently working towards my PhD at Oxford University in contemporary British art. I have experience with students from primary school to university age across a range of syllabi. I am able to help with academic writing, consolidation of course content and exam technique.
