Archie

Hi! I’m Archie, and I’m a second-year student reading History at Wadham College, University of Oxford. My university experience has been everything I could have hoped for and more, and I want to help other people live up to their potential in the way I was able to.

I actually got into Oxford on my second attempt, having received three A*s at A-level. Doing the application a second time meant taking a critical look at my Personal Statement, History Aptitude Test, and interview technique, analysing where I had fallen short, and how I could improve for next time. This was an enormously valuable experience, and in hindsight I would have loved to have had a similarly experienced person helping me out the first time around. I hope that this is what I can provide. The progress I made with myself from that rocky beginning resulted in a Distinction in my Preliminary exams at the end of first year and my receipt of several College awards and scholarships.

I also find tutoring enormously rewarding. At both school and university, I have held a number of positions which have entailed passing on my knowledge and experience to younger students, and I hope to do just that as your tutor.
