40About Me
Hi 👋 I’m Kara, a first year History and Politics student at Brasenose college, Oxford! I am super passionate about all things History and Politics as well as International Relations, English literature and Economics. I am available to help students with a wide range of challenges, from Economics A-level to achieving full marks in an EPQ. Outside of studying, I enjoy travelling, reading fiction and all types of exercise, especially the gym and I am a firm believer in having a great work life balance. After studying independently for many months during the pandemic and missing GCSEs, I am in a unique position to understand the mental stress placed on high achieving students who have missed large parts of their education; as your tutor I will do everything I can to support you academically and emotionally. Please contact me with any queries, I look forward to meeting you soon!
My teaching style
My teaching style is student-led with an unwavering focus on the needs of the student to ensure that the student meets their goals. I will use science based effective teaching and revision techniques such as active recall to ensure that my students achieve the best possible outcomes in their studies. Furthermore, I aim to help students think beyond exams and admissions tests in my lessons to make the learning enjoyable and engaging.
My past experience
My past tutoring experience includes over a year and half of tutoring a range of GCSE and A-level students, as well as four months at Explore Learning where I taught groups of 4-14 year olds. I have also done multiple mock interviews for a range of subjects over two admissions cycles.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievement is probably getting my place at Oxford as the application process was extremely rigorous and I felt huge imposter syndrome! I am also very proud of my black belt in martial arts as it took a lot of hard work and dedication!
