Hello! My name is William and I am passionate about helping students grow in confidence and achieve their academic goals. I studied Music at the University of Cambridge and am currently a Masters student in Musicology at the University of Oxford. With over five years of teaching and mentoring experience, I know how to adapt to each student’s unique strengths and learning styles, creating lessons that support their development and encourage them academically. Whether you’re preparing for exams, improving study skills, or seeking tutoring in GCSE/A-Level English, Music, History, or Humanities degrees, I’ll work with you to build knowledge, creative thinking, and strong results, while making learning enjoyable, rewarding, and empowering.
I am originally from Bristol, but have spent the past year and a bit studying in China. I have just returned to the UK to start my Masters degree at Oxford. I am the first in my family to go to Oxbridge and the first to do a postgraduate, so I know what it feels like to apply to these sorts of institutions. As a student at Cambridge, I was very involved in the student community and worked at outreach events, dispelling myths about what it is like to go to university, what an Oxbridge interview feels like, and the content of a degree at Cambridge. I am passionate about widening access to university and academic thinking and my teaching style reflects this, focused entirely on the best way a student learns and using their natural curiosity to drive great results in exams, as well as a raised confidence in their own academic ability.

I am a musicologist and cultural historian studying for a PhD in Music at the University of Cambridge. At Cambridge, I work as an Academic Supervisor in the Faculty of Music. I also teach violin, viola, conducting, and music theory at the Centre for Music Performance. Under the supervision of Professor David Trippett, I conduct research on the cultural history of musical time in the Long Nineteenth Century, focusing mainly on Germany and France. With a decade of teaching experience as a peripatetic musical instructor and academic tutor, I teach a wide array of musical and academic subjects, spanning the humanities and the social sciences. In addition to my undergraduate teaching, I maintain a private tutoring practice in Oxbridge Entrance Exam Preparation for Music, History, English and Philosophy; School Entrance Exam Preparation (7+, 8+, 9+, 10+, 11+, 13+ & 16+); Violin; Viola; Orchestral Conducting; Music; Music Theory; English; History; Philosophy; Classical Civilisation; Writing, Essay and Dissertation Skills; and Formal Logic.

Beyond academic life, I work as a professional violinist, violist, and conductor, primarily in the field of documentary film. Since my professional debut recording solo and ensemble strings to picture at the age of 14—for the Emmy-nominated soundtrack to The Battle for Marjah (HBO 2012)—my performances have been featured on a range of documentaries. My performances are featured on The Detectives: Murder on the Streets (BBC 2017, BAFTA-Winning TV Series), Grenfell (BBC 2018, BAFTA-Winning Film), War in the Blood (BBC 2019, BAFTA-Nominated Soundtrack), The Surgeon’s Cut (BBC / Netflix 2020), and Nail Bomber: Manhunt (Netflix, 2021). Having recorded solo and orchestral strings for Critical: Between Life and Death (Netflix 2025) in 2025, my playing was also featured on The Manhattan Alien Abduction (Netflix: 2024), Miner’s Strike 1984: The Battle for Britain (Channel 4, 2024), Investigating Diana: Death in Paris (Channel 4 2023) and the BAFTA-nominated score for the BBC docuseries House of Maxwell (BBC2, 2022). Having recorded strings on several of their releases, I have also worked in the capacity of composer’s assistant, arranger, and orchestrator with the electronica outfit ‘Grasscut’ for over a decade.

I am a compassionate and adaptable education and student support professional with extensive experience in academic mentoring and student services, particularly focused on supporting individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges. I strive to empower students by tailoring personalized learning plans, offering practical guidance, and fostering a supportive environment where every learner feels valued and motivated to achieve their goals.
