3About Me
Hi, I’m David. I’m currently a student who lives on the Wirral. I have received an offer from Oxford University to study Economics and Management next year and I am looking to tutor others who want to apply to competitive university courses that require the TSA. In my TSA for Oxford, I achieved a score of 104.1 in section 1 (or 49 out of 50) which put me in the top 0.5% of applicants. At A level I’m studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics, and Economics and I’m predicted A*s in all of them. At GCSE I achieved 7 9s, 3 8s, and an A* with distinction in Further Maths.
Outside of my academics, I’m a keen sports player and musician. I spend much of my summer playing cricket and I’m busy with Rugby in the Winter. I also enjoy playing singing and playing the saxophone and the clarinet. I have achieved grade 6 on the saxophone, grade 7 on the clarinet and I’ve sung in the chapel choir at my school for 7 years. Some of my other hobbies include playing chess and reading.
My teaching style
When teaching I try and adapt my lessons to the student in order to help them learn in the best way possible. In order to do this, I may start by explaining some useful concepts that might be helpful whilst asking the student questions along the way to gauge their current knowledge. From there, I may either explain particular things in more detail or move on to example questions in order to test their knowledge and help correct any mistakes they make.
My past experience
I have some past experience with tutoring through an academic mentoring scheme at my school. I have helped tutor GCSE students in Maths and Physics and this has helped me develop my teaching technique.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievement is probably receiving an offer from Oxford University. I have also had some memorable moments through playing sport; winning the U19s county cup with my cricket club was also a proud achievement.
