12About Me
I am a Law graduate from the University of Oxford, passionate about helping students reach their full potential. I have tutored a variety of students across a range of levels, from 11+ Maths and English to GCSE History and university law admissions. I have experience guiding prospective students through law applications, offering LNAT preparation, personal statement review, mock interviews and 1:1 tutorial-style sessions on a variety of topics on the university law syllabus. My personalised approach has helped students to secure offers to study law at top universities, including the University of Oxford. I have also delivered workshops and targeted sessions, having worked with the St John’s College Admissions team to run law application-focused sessions alongside Oxford tutors during Open Days, as well as leading constitutional law and essay-writing workshops for A-Level students. By creating tailored sessions and offering clear, practical guidance, I help students build confidence and achieve their goals.
My teaching style
I am a driven and passionate tutor, focused on delivering bespoke, tailored lessons that help students achieve their full potential across 11+, GCSE, and university entrance exams. I prioritise building rapport, boosting confidence, and equipping students with skills for long-term academic success. Ialso ensure regular feedback is provided to students, ensuring progress is tracked and target areas are addressed. My enthusiastic and professional approach has consistently received positive feedback from both students and parents.
My past experience
I have extensive tutoring experience across multiple levels and subjects. I have guided prospective law students through the university application process, providing LNAT preparation, personal statement review, mock interviews, and 1:1 tutorial-style sessions on topics including jurisprudence and constitutional law. I have delivered intensive LNAT support, focusing on multiple-choice and essay strategies. I have also created accessible resources, including podcasts for the Oxford Undergraduate Law Journal and videos for the St John’s Access Critical Thinking Programme, translating complex legal concepts into clear, engaging formats.
In addition, I have worked with students in workshops and small-group sessions, delivering sessions introducing constitutional law and providing practical application guidance for Year 12 students. I have tutored GCSE History, creating tailored lesson plans, providing detailed feedback, and monitoring progress to support exam success. I have also led essay-writing and academic skills workshops for over fifty A-Level students, helping them develop critical thinking, research, and writing skills necessary for both exams and university applications.
