About Me
I have graduated from the University of Oxford with a 2.1 in Philosophy and Theology. Prior to attending Oxford, I achieved A*A*A* in English Literature, Latin and Religious Studies, with 5 A*S, 4 Grade 9s and a Grade 8 in GCSEs.
For the past few years, I have been a private tutor which has also entailed mentoring young students and seeing them progress and achieving their dream spots at their universities. This has enabled me to build client relationships and to handle multiple concurrent tasks, since I balanced tutoring with my ability to thrive in Oxford’s rigorous academic environment. I also believe that I work well under time constraints and to meet deadlines, which is an ability that my time at Oxford has prepared me well for.
I am well-placed to provide tuition at 11 and 13+, as well as English Language, English Literature and RE GCSE, A-Level and degree-level tuition. I am also up-to-date on examination syllabi and the requirements needed for achieving top marks.
I have tutoring experience in GCSE English Language, GCSE English Literature, GCSE Religious Studies and Oxbridge Classics admissions. I also mentor students in application for Oxbridge Classics, as I changed degrees in my third year, and assisted a student in her successful entrance to Oxford for Classics via personal statement, interview/test advice and general information about the course and university life. Therefore, I am available to support Oxbridge Classics admissions.
My teaching style
I can teach online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom and on request, can consider in-person tutoring. I monitor my students’ ability and level and work to securing an excellent grade for formal examinations.
My past experience
I have experience in tutoring for the past few years in GCSE English Language, English Literature and RE. I also have experience in teaching English as a Foreign Language abroad (in Thailand) and for a Classics summer school.
My Proudest Achievements
I successfully secured my offer to read Classics at Corpus Christi College, Oxford and was granted permission to change degrees in my third year to Philosophy and Theology. Therefore, I was able to graduate in 2 years of studying my degree and received a First Class in my extended essay.
