9About Me
Hi, my name is Andrew and I’m a recent graduate of the University of Cambridge, where I graduated with two first class degrees in Natural Sciences, specialising in Biology, Earth Sciences and the History and Philosophy of Science.
I have experience tutoring a wide range of subjects, including Maths, Biology, Chemistry, German and Philosophy, as well as in guiding students through their applications to Cambridge and Oxford, drawing upon both my own experience applying, and my time working for the admissions department for a Cambridge College.
Outside of my academic side, I’m a keen musician (I play the French Horn in several orchestras and a brass quintet), reader (I love sci-fi, books about philosophy, and am currently reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro), and am very interested in politics, both in the UK and abroad.
My teaching style
I like to tailor my teaching style to the specific student, but on the whole I try and avoid giving long lectures, and rather focus on developing a dialogue with my students, which I find to be both more effective and more fun!
My past experience
I have a wide variety of tutoring experience. I have spent time tutoring students in various STEM subjects, teaching ESL, German, and tutoring students through their oxbridge application process.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest acheivement has to be helping mentor a student through their Cambridge application, and having the joy of getting to overlap with them before I graduated myself.
