About Me
Hi there! I’m Candice and I’ve recently graduated from Oxford (St John’s) reading Geography. Before this, I achieved 3 A*s and an A in French, Spanish, Geography and English Literature at A-Level. Whilst at Oxford, I helped mentor prospective students through the admissions process for Geography and so understand the Oxbridge admissions process thoroughly. I also have lots of tutoring experience for GCSE and A-Level students. I understand that every student learns in different ways and speeds so I will adapt every session to your goals and progress throughout so you feel as comfortable and prepared as possible whether that’s solidifying your knowledge of Geography as a whole or tackling tricky interview questions and admissions tests. I also think an integral part of nailing the admissions process is being really confident in talking about your subject which can feel really foreign and braggy at first so I hope to use the skills gained over my degree and my previous tutoring experiences to be a comforting and passionate companion along this journey. I look forward to working with you soon!
My teaching style
I aim to do an introductory lesson where I can assess where you’re at for the subject and also what works better for you. I am more than happy to adapt my lessons depending on whether you prefer activities where we work together or I give you things to practice outside of tutoring sessions. Generally, I like the style of practicing exam questions and also practical questions to cement your knowledge and exam technique.
My past experience
Yes, both of Oxbridge admissions and for GCSE and A-Levels.
