5About Me
Hi there! I’m Tim, a final year undergraduate studying at New College at the University of Oxford. I’ve been a tutor for about three years now, helping students with admissions tests, personal statements and interview preparation for Oxbridge as well as other universities in the UK and USA. I also regularly tutor A-level and GCSE subjects, working to help students smash their mocks and real exams to enable them to go to their preferred university.
I am on track for a first class degree, and received 4 A* grades at A-level in Maths, Further Maths, History and Physics. In addition, I obtained 13 A*/9 grades at GCSE level, and got full marks on my EPQ. During my university application cycle, I received offers from every university I applied to, from Oxford, LSE, UCL and Warwick.
My previous experience tutoring has been in partnership with UniAdmissions, Horizons Tutoring and privately. In addition, I carried out volunteer mentoring/coaching with Zero Gravity and Project Access. During my time in school, I regularly tutored those in younger years in subjects such as maths and physics. My past tutees have gone on to receive offers from Oxford, LSE, UCL and even as far afield as the University of Chicago.
My teaching style
My teaching style varies from student to student, and is flexible and adaptable. I begin by assessing where the tutee is and what their level is, then create a personalised teaching plan over a defined time period so that we can cover all the relevant material in the necessary time.
If this requires adjustment then I do so, using a combination of past papers, practice questions, examples, teaching materials and timed assessments to tailor a programme best suited to the individual.
My past experience
My previous experience is as above.
My Proudest Achievements
One of my proudest achievements was raising just shy of £1,000 in a fundraising challenge carried out with members of my local community. In one week, working with people I’d never met, we engaged in a series of sponsored activities to help the local homelessness charity.
