6About Me
Hi, I’m Elin, a third year History and Politics student at Oxford University. Having experienced the application process for Oxford, I know how stressful and daunting it can be. I am here to offer help to anyone that wants to boost their confidence with their application for History and/or Politics at Oxbridge, whether that be their personal statement, the HAT, or interviews. My time at Oxford so far has equipped me to help other students that would like to receive an offer. I received an academic scholarship for achieving a distinction in my first year exams at Oxford (Prelims) which demonstrates my understanding of the course and what is expected of Oxford students, therefore enabling me to help you with your application. I have over 4 years of experience tutoring for a range of different ages and abilities so I am flexible in my approach to teaching and able to adapt lessons to the needs of each individual. I am a friendly and approachable tutor who will aim to build your confidence and help you in any way I can!
My teaching style
My teaching style is generally relaxed whilst maintaining focus on the task at hand and making valuable progress with the student. I have tutored a range of different students and have always been very flexible in my teaching style to suit the needs of each individual student and their goals. I am passionate about History and Politics and this is clearly conveyed in my tutoring sessions. I aim to help students develop their interest in these subjects and practice the core skills needed to excel in the Oxbridge admissions process.
My past experience
I have worked with Oxbridge Mind for a year in tutoring for the Oxbridge admissions process and for History/Politics A-Level. Separately, I have over 4 years experience tutoring children between the ages of 8 and 15 in Maths, English, History, and 11+ entrance tests. I also have over two years of experience teaching English as a second language to children in Hong Kong and currently run History classes for younger students in preparation for prestigious essay competitions and public school entrance examinations. This has helped me develop a flexible and engaging tutoring style that can be adapted to each individual student.
