Anthropology looks into why we function the way we do from biological, evolutionary, historical, and social perspectives. Anthropology requires broad knowledge from science, history, and social science disciplines.
Tavistock tutors recognise that beyond such broad knowledge, a student needs first-rate essay skills, to be able to deal with challenging written exams, and coursework effectively.
Our experienced tutors all gained A-Levels or degrees in anthropology and are passionate for their subject. Our bespoke tuition emphasises your priorities, so that we can guide you in the most effective way. They also seek to make Anthropology lessons engaging and enjoyable, so not only will you become a better anthropology student, you will enjoy the subject more.

‘I work together with the student and their parents in identifying the areas in which they require help. Such close collaboration enables me to me structure the tutorial, link it to the syllabus and make it effective in terms of exam preparation. But, most importantly, it helps me make the learning process as fun as possible! During...
Across all of the different subjects I teach, I always notice the same thing: the main difficulty that learners encounter is getting overwhelmed by what they're trying to learn. It could be that there seems to be simply too much material to cover; it could be that the concepts seem too difficult; it could be that the whole thing causes...
I will first identify how you study best, whether it is visually, aurally, kinetically, or logically – because knowing that will allow me to customize our classes to suit you. For example, if you’re a kinetic learner, we will build models together. And if you’re an aural learner, then we’ll burst into a song every now and then (it’s shown...
I see private tuition like a personal and tailored educational support through which the student learns and develops until he/she becomes an independent thinker with the right ethos of work, one, which consists in passion, discipline, commitment, perseverance and resilience....
When teaching and presenting complex theory and research, communicating with clarity is an absolute necessity, which I have done extensively in the cross-cultural environment of international MA degrees. Training people from very different social and cultural backgrounds is challenging and rewarding, and I have developed very good skills in conveying information and getting feedback in different ways in order to...
Learning should be transformative, profound, but also fun. It has the capacity to change how we see and think about the world. We all learn in different ways, with different strengths and weaknesses. As a tutor, I consider it my duty to work with students to identify those strengths and weaknesses and find out - together - the best way...
I am passionate about teaching. I intend to go on an academic career as an anthropology teacher. I have to convey, learn and share, more. I do believe that teaching enables to sharpen disciplinary knowledge, pushing forward research questions, and opens possibilities for personal and professional transformation. It shares with anthropology this perpetual shaping and re-shaping of ideas through new...
I attend to each student with interest and understanding, creating a non-judgemental supportive space for us to discover, invent, experiment and evaluate creative methods and approaches to learning in keeping with their sensibility and temperament. This free form, gently held, safely supportive space is a new experience for many of my students where schools rarely have the time or the...
I first make sure that the groundwork and theoretical frameworks are fully understood before challenging and encouraging the student to expand and apply their understanding by writing essay plans or essays. I therefore like to begin the class with a 10 to 15 minute discussion and recap, asking and receiving questions about the week’s topic before embarking on developing practical...
I firmly believe that individuals possess such a multitude of talents that, however well meaning, a wholesale approach to tuition fails to appreciate the extraordinary difference between students. Some people are conceptually brilliant but need a helping hand expressing themselves; others are wonderful writers that are perhaps less talented at figuring out what to write. Through careful, sympathetic conversation, it...
