About Me
Hi! I’m Mieszko.
I was successful in an application to study Computer Science at Oxford, while helping to lead a twice-a-week 2 hour long mentoring sessions, tutoring 3 other students with their admissions tests. One of these got an interview at Oxford, another got into Oxford, and a third was successful in applying to Cambridge.
Since then, I’ve completed 2 years in Oxford (after an early transfer to a joint honours Maths and Computer Science course). In my most recent exams, I achieved the equivalent of a first class – “the equivalent of” because the actual results combine both this year, and the next one.
Outside college, I do a decent amount of sports, including hiking, squash and judo, though recently I’ve been quite into pool. I play piano, watch a fair amount of TV and read a fair amount of books – recently both have been “This Is Going To Hurt – Diaries of a Junior Doctor”.
My teaching style
I’m friendly and relaxed, and I focus on both genuine understanding and exam technique. Exams for STEM subjects tend to focus on understanding a topic and linking it with others, rather than just memorizing formulas. Most of getting good at exams is then applying that understanding, along with time keeping, and a little bit of though as to which order to answer questions in.
My past experience
I have regularly tutored students in a variety of different subjects over the last 2/3 years. I’ve taken many people through A-levels, admission tests and interviews, with several students getting high scores, interview offers, and acceptance letters.
My Proudest Achievements
Getting into Oxford with a very high MAT score is definitely up there.
Also managing to hit in 3 bálls of the opposing colour with one shot while playing pool.
