Classical Civilisation Tutors : 1-1 Classical Civilisation Preparation

Durham University Philosophy Graduate with an offer to do Medicine.I can help two types of people. Those who are struggling in their humanities degree and those who want to study Medicine with a humanities background.

I understand how frustrating it can be to be behind your academic goals and feel like you are failing, especially when you have goals of Masters/Grad studies/Medicine/Law etc. That was me. My second year of university I was on a low 2.1 and thought the prospect of Graduate Medicine was fading away after a dismal application attempt. I have been through this and can help turn things around. I take time to carefully plan a route to a higher grade at undergraduate level and specialise in working with humanities students who want to make the jump to Medicine. The whole process is daunting and requires a bit of strategising to get you to an interview and ultimately a place.

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!

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.

I am a graduate in History 2.2 Bachelors Degree, and a pass in master’s degree which was Multimedia Journalism. Since graduating I have been working in high schools for almost three years and I am very knowledgeable in a wide range of subjects across the UK curriculum. I have observed, worked alongside with many different teachers across both primary school and high school across Greater Manchester which means I have taken a lot of knowledge in how to teach, how students learn best in different subjects, why students may excel in some subjects and struggle in others. I have a good understanding as I have mentioned in History, and in the humanities as a whole, the types of topics that come up during the course of the year, and the types of “tests” teachers use to see how well students are progressing.

Hi!
I’m currently an Undergraduate Geography and Classical Studies (with Sustainable Development) student at the University of St. Andrews (though I’m originally from London – I went all the way to Scotland because I couldn’t decide which subject to pick!)

Within my subjects, I’m really interested in Roman literature and rhetoric, Greek drama, urbanism, and socialist thought. (Though, of course, I enjoy all aspects of my degree. Most of the time.)

Geography to me is the most holistic of all subjects – I’m completely fascinated by its range and applicability in all areas. I find Geography in English, in Classics, in Statistics, in Business. It’s *not* just volcanoes and favelas, as much as anyone would like it to be, and this is a belief I incorporate into my teaching style.

Outside of school, I’m still deeply absorbed in English Literature, especially absurdist literature and philosophy (scratch that, all literature and philosophy).

I also enjoy environmental work, not making decisions, woodcarving, and cool hats.

I am an enthusiastic, engaging and passionate teacher who loves to support young people make progress. I began my career as a teaching assistant in Manchester before training to teach. Since then, I have worked in Manchester and West Norfolk, progressing to Head of Department and Assistant Headteacher. I have taught a broad range of History and Ancient History at KS3, GCSE and A Level, and also have experience teaching KS3 Geography, GCSE Religious Studies and A Level Politics. I am well-placed to support you in terms of source analysis, writing short-answers and extended writing, your understanding of topics and knowledge recall.

I am taking a break from the classroom to fulfil my personal ambition of learning French, and it’s important to me that I continue my passion of working with young people while I am studying. In addition to my years of experience in the classroom, I have current experience of what it’s like to learn and find concepts challenging!

My A Levels were in History, English Literature and English Language, and I have an AS in Government and Politics. My undergraduate degree was in History and Classical Civilisation, and I have a Master’s degree in Medieval Studies (History).
