I adjust my lessons to whichever teaching style the student prefers. I can cover exam paper practice or anything else, such as purely subject teaching, and ensure there are measurable results. For example, I have taken students from a predicted 5 at GCSE to 8, and advised on a personal statement that received an offer from Oxford in history.

I have over 500 hours of experience tutoring humanities and STEM, and also have firsthand experience of the British education system (now myself at Oxford), giving me a level of relatability with the tutee that is often missing with older tutors.

I have retained materials that I have used at 11+, SATs, 13+, GCSE and A-level that I can also share with the student, since if it worked for me, I can make it work for them. I am also ready to curate my own materials, if needed, and set tests.

I can deliver lessons to ESL students in French and Russian, as I understand some topics may have hard to grasp in a foreign language, and can also hold speaking practice sessions for those that are preparing for oral exams in those languages.
