My Experience
I have been tutoring students in the humanities and social sciences for over a decade, supporting children, young adults and mature students at all levels - from primary education to masters - in fulfilling their academic potential. My specialty is in coursework completion and exam preparation, providing carefully tailored attention and support when it matters most. Over the years I have helped hundreds of students to find the confidence they need boost their grade in those crucial final moments before submission or examination.
Much of my tutoring experience is at university level. Between 2013 and 2017, while studying for my PhD at the University of Cambridge, I supervised undergraduates there individually and in groups to prepare them for their examinations in history, philosophy and sociology. I regularly worked with a teaching load of 30 or more students each term. I also devised and co-led lectures and seminars in the History of Medicine for graduate students at Cambridge.
At the same time, I offered private tuition to Masters students at London universities such as UCL, Birkbeck and the Royal College of Art, in subjects ranging from English Literature and Art Theory to the History of Philosophy. My experience in working with students at top academic institutions means I have an excellent track record in helping talented young people reach their goals. Past students of mine have gone on to do PhDs at Cambridge, work for āmagic circleā law firms, and gain positions as teachers at top London private schools.
Having said that, I also have experience with a broad range of ages and abilities. Between 2010 and 2012, I individually tutored six children aged 5-9, working closely with their parents to find creative ways to support literacy. I have worked with dozens of students aged 11-18 with range of abilities on subjects like GCSE Religious Studies (OCR), A-Level English (AQA) and Philosophy (Edexcel), from schools such as the Jewish Free School and the Leys (Cambridge). Whoever you are, whatever your level, I can probably help!
