I am an experienced and dedicated tutor, having worked with young people for the last three years. I will help your child take his or her skills to the next level, achieve exam success, and truly fulfil his or her potential. Whether you are a straight A student just looking for advice on expanding your knowledge base, or someone who is struggling, I will be able to provide personalised support. Having worked extensively with autistic children, as well as a range of other abilities, I know the difference that can be made by tutors who are engaged and care about the young people they work with.
I achieved a first class degree from Oxford University. I also received the best dissertation in the year for my Masters thesis in Anthropology at the University of Sussex. I am also currently a phD student at the University of Glasgow studying Literature. As such, I can teach up to a very high level for English. However, due to my Masters I am also a specialist in Anthropology and Sociology, and very capable at teaching a wide variety of humanities subjects, including History of Art, History and Philosophy. I can also offer Maths and Science tuition up to high school level. As an Oxford graduate I can offer guidance on passing Oxbridge entrance exams and offer interview practice.
I can provided a c.v. on request so that you can see my full academic record, which is excellent, as well as my extensive professional experience as a tutor and mentor. I have a current and enhanced DBS check for the peace of mind of parents, also available on request.
I am a warm and lively person and will aim to make the sessions as fun as possible!
