7About Me
Hi!
I’m a graduate from the University of Oxford now, having just completed my undergraduate course in Law. I’ve been tutoring students for almost two years, and have loved every session, genuinely enjoying watching my students grow over the weeks, get lightbulb moments, and flourish in exams.
I understand that applying to top universities can be quite a daunting process, just as it was for me. Through tutoring, I hope not only to improve the academic ability of my students, but also to improve their confidence so no option seems unreachable.
I’ve studied Maths, Sciences and Social Sciences all at varying levels, and so my background and areas of teaching are quite varied. I now hold an offer to study the BCL at Oxford, their general graduate law degree, and so would be happy to assist using the experience and expertise I’ve developed over the years.
My teaching style
I’ve absolutely loved studying the law, and the best part by far was discussing issues with my peers and reaching conclusions. I try and take a similar approach in teaching, where I view the student as my equal, discussing the question until they are guided towards the answer. I prefer to help students reason through questions themselves rather than simply tell them how to solve it outright, as I believe this approach is far better in the long run.
My past experience
In the past, I’ve tutored several students of varying backgrounds and in different subjects. Since I ended first-year, I’ve taught the LNAT and admissions interviews. Prior to that, I’ve covered Physics up to a GCSE level, as well as occasional English. Additionally, I’ve tutored tutored Maths up to an Advanced Higher level, which is the Scottish equivalent of A-level, although I’ve taught GCSE Maths in the past as well.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievement is probably my performance in my first-year exams at University, where I was awarded for performing the best overall out of my cohort.
