I graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge in 2023 with a Double First in Classics. I have tutored students in Latin and Greek at GCSE and A-Level, and have tutored successful candidates through the Oxbridge admissions process. I can also tutor students in Maths (in which I achieved an A* at A-level) and English.

I have a training contract at a City law firm commencing in September 2025 and would love to tutor as many students as possible across the next two years while I complete my law conversion.

I think it is essential, both for high performance in exams/admissions and at interview for Oxbridge, for students to be able to think quickly on their feet, and therefore I really value the one-to-one teaching style which tutoring enables. I also really enjoy getting to know my students, and their strengths and weaknesses. This is so important for being able to tutor effectively.

A very diverse background. Was born in Pakistan, where I studied till Grade 6. Afterwards, I moved to Saudi Arabia, completing my IGCSE’s there. Now, I have been in the United Kingdom for just over 5 years. Here, I completed some of my GCSE’s and sixth form. Currently, I am in my Y2 Medicine (A100) BM5 course at the University of Southampton. This background would allow me to help students mind-map/ trace their steps in life and in guiding them to plant and craft a story for their UCAS application, rather than just writing a personal statement.

I love interacting and talking to people, and having re-applied for Medicine, I appreciate that a student needs to be confident in answering questions, rather than just trying to cram all the interview hot topics in their head. I believe that the interview is very straightforward – you just need to be yourself! Everyone has heard this a million times, but not many replicate it in their journey. I hope to take my students in a journey with me, where I can highlight to them that: yes, that MMR story and Harold Shipman were important parts of history, but no more important than the hand signals, eye contact, smiling face you try to maintain during your interview!

Re-applying, this is the mindset that I went in with for my online MMI. With Southampton doing traditional interviews, I was just myself! I smiled, I laughed, I used my hands to signal/ signpost, I nodded. I actively listened. I did things that I would have done in a normal conversation with my friend. And, in the end, I could tell that I transferred all my energy to them. They were buzzed!

I hope to use this experience and reflection as a tool to TEACH – NOT TELL, where I can dig out the hidden personalities all these students, all these people, all these minds have!

Personality = interview offer.

Hi, my name is Joe and I have recently graduated from the University of Cambridge having studied History and Modern Languages (French)! As a History and French student, both literature and language are at the core of my interests. I love all aspects of these subjects and hope to be able to get this passion across to all my students! I have lived and studied history in Paris at the Sorbonne during my university time so I really have experienced these subjects from all angles.

My main aim is to help students achieve their full potential and to feel confident in their studies. I tutor French and History at all levels, as well as Maths up to A-Level standard and Oxbridge prep advice!

Beyond tutoring I love sports and travel – I played tennis and rugby during my time at university and loved this side of my time there! I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working together!
