About Me
Hi! I’m Rosie, a recent graduate in Human Sciences at Oxford University. I have been tutoring for over 5 years and have accumulated over 500 hours’ experience spanning a wide range of subjects and ages. I specialise in one-to-one tuition in GCSE and A level maths and biology and Oxbridge application support for Human Sciences and related fields, such as Biology or Natural Sciences). I am originally from London, but currently living in Baltimore while pursuing a master’s in Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University. I’m interested in all things public health, and hope to work in the public sector after finishing my master’s.
I love tutoring as it is an opportunity to help students build their confidence and start to enjoy a subject, sometimes for the first time. I know all too well how stressful public exams in particular can be, so I aim to ease some of that anxiety by providing 1:1 tailored support and passing on advice from my own experiences. Having gone through university applications myself, I can also help students prepare for admissions statements, tests, and interviews.
Aside of academics, I enjoy wild swimming, jogging, and playing tennis. I also play clarinet in an orchestra and saxophone in a (very mediocre) band. I look forward to hearing from you!
My teaching style
I enjoy working with students to build their confidence and take ownership over their learning, as I believe both are essential for academic progress to be made. For GCSE and A level students (or younger) I offer tailor-made, syllabus-specific revision plans centred around exam technique, catering to each student’s unique needs and working style. For those applying to Human Sciences at Oxford, I can offer support at all stages of the application journey from academic enrichment and personal statement guidance, to support with the entry examination (the TSA), to giving mock interviews and providing feedback. I can also support students in their first year of studies at Oxford.
My past experience
Yes! I have over 500 hours’ tutoring experience spanning a wide range of subjects and ages. I specialise in one-to-one tuition in GCSE and A level maths and biology and Oxbridge application support for Human Sciences and similar subjects (such as biology or natural sciences). I have also tutored Chemistry and Physics up to GCSE level, and have prepared students for 11+/13+ exams. I can provide references on request.
