3About Me
I graduated from the University of Oxford with a first-class degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). I am working as a tutor whilst I continue my studies towards a MA in politics from Kings College London. My research interests are in 20th century political philosophy but tutor a wide range of subjects, specialising helping students to prepare for the the TSA Oxford entrance exam, personal statement guidance and Oxford interview preparation.
Currently I am on track to graduate from King’s College London with the highest possible grade and have received an offer to return to next year for further postgraduate study. Ultimately I am to obtain a teaching position within academia and peruse a career publishing my research in the fields of Politics and Philosophy.
Outside of teaching and academia I enjoy spending time with my friends, especially outdoors.
My teaching style
A systematic approach to the TSA grounded in formal logic: I teach from the ground up, showing students the philosophical system of formal propositional logic upon which the exam is based. We will then apply this to questions from past papers, initially working through question slowly before taking on a role closer to a sports coach in optimising and fine tuning the details of exam performance (for example in relation to exam timings).
I base mock interviews on real questions used in the Oxford admissions process. Many students have reported that their real interview covered similar subject matter to one of the mock interviews I provided. Delivering genuine Oxford style mock interviews requires the tutor to fully understand the subject matter, I believe that only someone currently immersed in modern academia is able to provide this.
My past experience
I have over 500 hours of experience with applicants over multiple cycles of Oxford admissions. For some students this involves guiding them through the whole admissions process while for other I provide an intensive intervention directly before the TSA exam or interview.
My Proudest Achievements
Graduating with a first class degree, along with a wide range of extra curricular things I achieved whilst working towards it.
