Since I taught my first class to undergraduates at Princeton, I have greatly enjoyed helping students explore what they love about Classics. Tutoring gives me the opportunity to find out what motivates and inspires the people I work with, and it’s a real privilege to build a rapport one on one and facilitate their learning. I tailor my approach to...
Confidence and inquisitiveness are to my mind crucial in the learning process. Building confidence and inspiring inquisitiveness thus lie at the centre of all my teaching. I work with tutees to help them develop the skills needed to acquire and deploy knowledge in a given subject, as well as to know how to resolve an aspect of a subject which...
I am passionate about teaching, because I think that passing on knowledge is always incredibly fulfilling. When I teach, I know that I can help others understand concepts that I have mastered. One of my most satisfactory teaching experiences and one that illustrates my approach to tutoring is when I helped my younger cousin improve her English language performance and...
Tutoring should be tailored to the needs of the student because all students are different. However, whilst my approach is flexible, there are 4 things which I always try to bring to my sessions.

My approach to tutoring is shaped by my experience working with young people both inside and outside academia. Getting to know the young person behind the student is key to understanding how best to engage their interest in the material - especially for SEN students. From the outset I create a friendly atmosphere that emphasises the importance of dialogue to...
My emphasis is on working with students to resolve their problems, in an age-appropriate and exciting way. 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 this knowledge in later sessions. This...
I aim to tailor my classes to the needs of each student, as everyone has different strengths, weaknesses and ways of going about their study. I seek to provide an encouraging and enjoyable space to learn and discuss the key topics in ways that are easily memorable. I am happy using both the students’ textbooks and recommending alternative...
In a tutorial, I aim to encourage the student to reach conclusions for themselves, by creating a comfortable and efficient learning environment. In my opinion, it is the quality of understanding that is of paramount importance, and enabling a student to draw their own conclusions allows them to retain, and better understand, a variety of subjects. I believe...
