Tutoring Experience

I have ~1000 of hours of tutoring experience in economics, politics, and admissions tests. I have worked with students from a variety of backgrounds and ability levels, rapidly improving their exam performance and cultivating a genuine interest in the subject material.

Tutoring Approach

I use data to effectively target my students' weaknesses, taking my own question papers and using their results to create a learning roadmap from today until their exams. I also provide quarterly reports to parents which outline what we have covered, how the student has performed, and what we will be covering next quarter. I like to take an exam-focussed approach to teaching. Learning the structure of the exam and how to pick up marks easily is just as important as knowing the actual content of the course. Many talented students miss out on top grades despite having an excellent grasp of the content. The reason for this is a lack of exam training. Ultimately, the whole point of school and sixth form is to leave with qualifications by passing exams, so it only makes sense that these should be the primary focus.
