Career Development Tutors : 1-1 Career Development Training

Hi there! My name is Grace and I have recently finished a French Literature MSt at Keble College, Oxford, for which I received a Distinction. I also completed a History and French BA for my undergraduate at Somerville College, Oxford and got a First Class. I’ve been tutoring for several years now so I have lots of experience, and I really enjoy being able to help students wherever I can. I’ve always put my academic studies first, and I know how important it is to do your best in exams; I find it extremely rewarding when I can help students to achieve this. Having got all A*s in GCSE and A-Level, and successfully passed through Oxford’s rigorous admissions process, I know first-hand what is required to do well at all of these stages. I also really enjoy teaching students and hope that my enthusiasm will make their sessions enjoyable – I’ve always seen myself becoming a teacher!

I have an enhanced DBS check and am safeguarding trained.

I am currently studying Computer Science at the University of Cambridge. Prior to attending Cambridge, I achieved 9 GCSEs at grade 9 and 4 A-Levels in Maths, Further Maths, Economics, and Physics (A star in all but Physics). I have a passion for both technology and education, bringing a tailored and adaptable approach to tutoring.

I offer tuition in GCSE Maths, Triple Science, English Lit & Lang, Computer Science, and A-level Maths. I have over a year of experience tutoring, and a track record of helping students improve their grades by up to three levels. I am also well-placed to support in Oxbridge Computer Science applications, providing guidance on personal statements and interview preparation. My teaching methodology is focused on meeting individual student needs, ensuring that they reach their full potential. I am also able to provide career guidance.

Qualifications

Hello, I’m Talhah Bin-Islam—a highly driven biomedical science graduate preparing to begin Graduate Entry Medicine at the University of Nottingham. I am deeply passionate about education, academic excellence, and mentoring the next generation of achievers. I have extensive tutoring experience across a wide range of subjects, supporting students from 11+, KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-Level, and beyond. I also specialize in university preparation, including medical school applications at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

My approach is not just about delivering knowledge but building strategic thinking, resilience, and long-term success. I believe in creating high-impact results by tailoring learning to each student’s aspirations. With a strong foundation in medicine, education, and personal development, I bring energy, precision, and ambition to every session. I am committed to helping every student unlock their full potential and push beyond what they believe is possible.

I have graduated from the University of Oxford with a 2.1 in Philosophy and Theology. Prior to attending Oxford, I achieved A*A*A* in English Literature, Latin and Religious Studies, with 5 A*S, 4 Grade 9s and a Grade 8 in GCSEs.

For the past few years, I have been a private tutor which has also entailed mentoring young students and seeing them progress and achieving their dream spots at their universities. This has enabled me to build client relationships and to handle multiple concurrent tasks, since I balanced tutoring with my ability to thrive in Oxford’s rigorous academic environment. I also believe that I work well under time constraints and to meet deadlines, which is an ability that my time at Oxford has prepared me well for.

I am well-placed to provide tuition at 11 and 13+, as well as English Language, English Literature and RE GCSE, A-Level and degree-level tuition. I am also up-to-date on examination syllabi and the requirements needed for achieving top marks.

I have tutoring experience in GCSE English Language, GCSE English Literature, GCSE Religious Studies and Oxbridge Classics admissions. I also mentor students in application for Oxbridge Classics, as I changed degrees in my third year, and assisted a student in her successful entrance to Oxford for Classics via personal statement, interview/test advice and general information about the course and university life. Therefore, I am available to support Oxbridge Classics admissions.

Hello everyone! My name is Megan and I am a friendly, motivating and fun tutor with over 10 years experience in the teaching field making me an oldie now, but a goodie!

My biggest passion in life is helping others grow in confidence, to enable them to see their potential and achieve their goals. I will do everything I can in my power to help you achieve. We will work together as a team and together, with a little nudge from me, we will make sure you can succeed. It might not happen over night, but we will find a way to get there together.

I have a background rooted in the creative and vocational sectors, but I also have a lot of transferrable skills and I have taught over a wide variety of academic subjects too. I specialise in Creative Writing and Art & Design, and I bring a hands-on, student-centred approach to every session.

I’m also experienced in teaching a wide range of subjects including Citizenship, PSHE, Health & Social Care, Childcare, Physical Education, and Travel & Tourism. On top of that, I’m highly skilled in delivering Employability Skills/ Work Experience—perfect for learners who are preparing for the next steps in their education or career.

I pride myself on being approachable, patient, and adaptable. My goal is to create a relaxed, supportive learning environment where learners feel heard, valued, and motivated to achieve their full potential. No question is a “stupid question”, so please always ask.

Let’s make learning meaningful, creative, and fun!

Hello, my name is Simon Hackett , and I’m an experienced tutor, Director at 4 Life Education alternative education provision, and ex Deputy Head at a vocational education setting. I’ve spent many years working with children and teenagers who haven’t quite found their place in mainstream school—and I know from experience that with the right support, the right approach, and a bit of patience, every young person can thrive.

I specialise in working with children who may have additional needs, struggle with behaviour or confidence, or just learn better in a different environment. I teach a range of subjects, including Maths, English, Construction, Sport, and life skills, and I always adapt lessons to suit the individual child. Whether your child needs help catching up, finding their confidence, or re-engaging with learning altogether, I aim to build a positive relationship first, because learning starts when a child feels safe, understood, and supported.

As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your child is in the right hands. I bring a calm, consistent, and encouraging approach to each session, and I keep communication open with families every step of the way. My sessions focus not just on education, but also on building your child’s confidence, self-esteem, and resilience. Every child learns differently, and I’m here to find the way that works best for yours.
