Classical Civilisation Tutors : 1-1 Classical Civilisation Preparation

Hi there!

My name is Ruairi (think roar-ree). I have recently graduated from the University of Cambridge with, among other things, a first-class with distinction in my dissertation on public policy. Throughout my time at Cambridge, I have taken papers spanning development, economics, law, and policy. I am combining the knowledge and skills I gained during my undergraduate degree to become a corporate lawyer at a global, Top 20 AM Law firm.

In the meantime, I would like to tutor you! I have thoroughly enjoyed tutoring in the past and believe I can help you excel in a wide range of subjects. I would also be more than happy to help with applications and interviews, be that to universities or to law firms. More generally, I can give you advice on navigating college/sixth form, university, and the corporate world, based on my past successes (and failures!).

Outside of academia and work, I like to watch Arsenal and international rugby. I am also hoping to get back into gym and kickboxing in the new academic year, as well as jewellery-making.

I hope to hear from you soon – please do reach out if you are interested!

Hi! I’m Meerab, a current 2nd year English student at the University of Cambridge. Coming from a working-class, state school and British-Pakistani background, I want to encourage students who may the first in their families to pursue higher education to feel confident enough to apply to elite institutions such as Oxbridge. As well as studying English at Cambridge, I have a year of experience in studying Classics at Cambridge, before my decision to switch courses to English and so have gone through the Oxbridge admissions process twice. However, I am still extremely passionate about Classics and excited to tutor students in both subjects!

In my journey to Cambridge, I was able to achieve all A* at A-level and GCSE (except one 7 in Art!) despite being a student that struggled with work-load, time management and stress all throughout secondary school and sixth form. Therefore, I want to help students who may be currently struggling with such aspects of studying to help them excel in these difficult and formative years of education, as I was able to.

I’m Melody, a second year medical student at the University of Leicester! I am an experienced tutor that has been tutoring for 4 years now. I tutor a range of subjects from KS1 all the way to A-levels. I achieved A*ABB at A-levels and grades 9-7 in all of my GCSEs, including 6 grade 9s.

I have a deep passion for education and a strong desire to make a positive impact on students’ academic journeys. This passion for teaching stems from my belief that quality education can open doors to many new opportunities.

With my 4 year experience of tutoring students ranging in age from 10-16 years old as well as my knowledge of the subjects, I am well equipped with the knowledge and skills to help students excel in their academics and exams. My experience has allowed me to develop personalised learning experiences towards each student to cater to their individual learning styles and needs, and so allowing me to teach with patience and empathy, as I know that we all learn in different ways.

Being a second year medical student, I understand how to break down key topics into more bite sized and manageable learning chunks, as well as being able to manage my time well and cope well under pressure. These skills will allow me to formulate personalised study plans for each student I tutor, so not only will they be receiving teaching from me, but I will show them how to implement these skills into their own study routines as well, going as far as even helping build study plans together.

I really do care about making a difference, and will go above and beyond to make sure that students receive the optimum teaching from me!

I’m an Oxford Undergraduate classics finalist, currently awarded a scholarship at university alongside multiple other academic awards. I’m also writing a thesis on Cicero and am a published author of a literature analysis book.

Having spent 3 years in Classics , I can understand how it can seem daunting to many, and I’ll do my best to make it as accessible as possible for you.

I can also understand that the Oxbridge admissions process is especially difficult, especially when you would be juggling many other academic tasks at the time, and I’m here to ease the process- I provide mock interviews and admissions test assistance for Classics; I’m also willing to prep your overall background knowledge for the degree.

I’m always happy to answer any questions you might have, and can’t wait to teach you about awful Latin puns!
