Hi 👋 I’m Kara, a History and Politics graduate from Brasenose college, Oxford! I am super passionate about all things History and Politics as well as International Relations, English literature and Economics. I am available to help students with a wide range of challenges, from Economics A-level to achieving full marks in an EPQ. Outside of studying, I enjoy travelling, reading fiction and all types of exercise, especially the gym and I am a firm believer in having a great work life balance. After studying independently for many months during the pandemic and missing GCSEs, I am in a unique position to understand the mental stress placed on high achieving students who have missed large parts of their education; as your tutor I will do everything I can to support you academically and emotionally. On top of this, I have over three years of tutoring experience in various subjects and specialize in Oxbridge admissions. Please contact me with any queries, I look forward to meeting you soon!
My teaching style
My teaching style is student-led with an unwavering focus on the needs of the student to ensure that the student meets their goals. I will use science based effective teaching and revision techniques such as active recall to ensure that my students achieve the best possible outcomes in their studies. Furthermore, I aim to help students think beyond exams and admissions tests in my lessons to make the learning enjoyable and engaging.
My past experience
My past tutoring experience includes over three years of tutoring a range of GCSE and A-level students, as well as four months at Explore Learning where I taught groups of 4-14 year olds. I have also conducted dozens of mock interviews for a range of subjects over three admissions cycles.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievement is probably getting my place at Oxford as the application process was extremely rigorous and I felt huge imposter syndrome! I am also very proud of my black belt in martial arts as it took a lot of hard work and dedication!
