31About Me
I am a recent First-Class Graduate in Classics from the University of Oxford and recipient of the Gibbs Prize for best overall performance. My undergraduate studies were fully funded by the Oxford Reach Scholarship, given on account of merit to only 2 international students per year. As a Course 2 student, I have experience learning an ancient language from scratch and excelling in it, having scored 76% on my Latin papers and 75% on my Greek papers. I am proficient in Ancient History, both Greek and Roman and excel at archaeological subjects, having received 75% for my undergraduate thesis. I have practical experience in excavations and museum work, as well as a unique perspective through my knowledge of multiple modern languages. I am capable of teaching students for GCSE, A-Level, IB and undergraduate degrees. I also deliver tutorials for Oxbridge applications, entrance exams (CLAT) and interviews and am able to give my students detailed insights into the application and interview process. I believe in an ambitious and organised approach to learning, in my time in education I have learnt two ancient languages from scratch and am able to speak 6 modern languages.
My teaching style
I am a very organised and devoted tutor, able to create personalised lesson plans for each student. I believe in punctuality, dedication and hard work when it comes to my students. My lesson plans follow the curriculum which my students are learning at school (A-level, GCSE, IB etc) and are intended to enhance their understanding of a subject and increase their productivity and confidence.
My past experience
I have experience tutoring Latin and Classical Greek at varying levels, including mentoring at University level. I have successfully aided students in their 11+ exams and interviews, with successful admission into Godolphin and Latymer School. I have experience teaching IB Biology and Chemistry, as well as English Language and Literature and can easily teach such subjects at A-level as well. I have been tutoring freelance since I was 18 years old.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievement is my University degree and my success in my Final examinations. As a Course 2 student in Classics, I started learning Classical Greek and Latin from scratch at university. In my final examinations I ranked first among all Course 2 students and 4th overall in the year out of 102 students. I received a full scholarship for my studies from Merton College and later on the Gibbs Prize for my outstanding performance in Finals. I am proud of my hard work and dedication, which led to such results.
