After finishing my A Levels, my high school got in touch with me. They asked if I would tutor specific students who they thought were struggling with Humanities at GCSE and A Level. Once I started tutoring, I found it to be both rewarding and inspiring. I believe that one-to-one tuition is a fantastic way […]

Each student is different. I understand their needs. I make them understand difficult concepts with simple examples.

The best way to learn, to keep up with your school or university work and to pass exams is to be constantly curious about your subject. Once you’ve reached a point where you can’t wait to learn more and you’re reading around your subject just because you want to, the rest comes naturally. It’s that […]

I bring a huge amount of enthusiasm to every lesson. This is because I care very deeply for the subjects I teach and want more people to study them to a higher level – especially those two (supposedly) dead languages! Opening my students’ minds to the depth, range and relevance of their subjects is hence […]

The rapport that can be built in a one-on-one session makes private tuition a unique and powerful way of engaging with a subject. I take great enjoyment in discovering the strengths and character of a student, and developing methods of learning that can suit their needs.

I get to know what a student finds difficult, assess their current attainment and then break down topics in such a way that we can deal with one or two key issues per session. I then informally test […]

Flexible in terms of finding the right approach for each student, clear in terms of setting ambitious but achievable learning targets and organizing the student to meet them. I find tutoring especially rewarding when I can see my students are becoming more knowledgeable, confident and committed to meeting their goals. I can’t promise that every […]

My approach to tuition is results-based. As I hope my profile shows, over the course of my academic career, I have always focused on achieving the best results. Through this experience, I have learnt the practical everyday steps which students of complex languages can take to master the basics, prepare for assessments and, ultimately, achieve […]

My tutoring approach is to start from what the student knows about a topic and to build on that using a variety of resources and regular questioning to test their understanding. In terms of explaining concepts I always take the student’s learning style into account – e.g. if they are a more visual learner, my […]
