I offer hourly lessons to KS3-5 students tailored to specific needs in fields of German, Philosophy, English and Oxford admissions.

I am currently an undergraduate at Oxford University, studying Philosophy and German. I have four years of experience working part-time at a science tuition holiday camp so am confident in working with children and understanding every child's specific educational needs. I design lessons with exercises based upon topics requested by students, or centered around feedback on submitted work. I also provide Oxbridge-style interviews and university admissions advice.

German: Exercises to target all core skills such as grammar, reading comprehension, speaking.
Admissions: Oxford-style interview preparation and MLAT tuition in German
Philosophy: Essay marking, help with structure and content; lessons on specific content
English: Lessons on specific works or literary skills, analysis of all literary forms, essay marking

I am very passionate about writing, languages and critical thinking subjects such as philosophy. I would love the opportunity to help students develop their writing, speaking and literacy skills in German, Philosophy and English. Being a student myself, I am familiar with the stress of exams and applications, therefore I provide a welcoming and patient approach, tailored to each student.

I received 7/7 in the International Baccalaureate in HL German, HL Philosopy, HL English, SL Maths (Applications), SL Chemistry and SL Psychology, so I am well-equipped to provide assistance with these subjects.
Alongside this, I achieved all 9s in 10 iGCSEs (including English, History, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Maths) so can offer tutoring in subjects such as GCSE Maths and Sciences.
