Our tutorials will be planned around your individual needs, building from whatever level you are currently working at and moving at a pace that suits you.
We will begin by identifying what is holding you back — whether that is understanding the content, remembering examples, interpreting questions or turning your knowledge into high-mark essays — and build our lessons around fixing it.
Rather than simply memorising notes, we will break topics down together and explore the arguments, institutions and developments behind them. I want you to understand why things happen, so that you can discuss them confidently rather than simply repeat learnt material.
We will also focus closely on exam technique. Using past papers, mark schemes and examiner guidance, I will help you interpret questions, select evidence, structure essays, build clear arguments and reach convincing judgements.
I will also help you organise your knowledge, build a bank of useful examples and revise actively.
At the end of each lesson, you will receive a lesson pack containing the work we completed together to revisit afterwards.
I achieved full marks on half of my A Level Politics papers, alongside A*s in History, Economics and Maths. I also received full marks for an EPQ combining politics and economics and for History coursework on political ideology and leadership.
I then studied PPE at Oxford, where I had the time of my life! I focused particularly on Modern British Government and Politics, British Political History and Comparative Government.
My experience of politics has not been confined to the classroom. From the age of 15, I gained firsthand experience of British politics: shadowing my MP in Parliament, helping welcome the Leader of the Opposition on a constituency visit, attending three party conferences and taking part in campaigning.
I have also worked with successful applicants to Oxford for PPE, including mature students and reapplicants.
My own academic path was not always straightforward. I did not really connect with education until Sixth Form, needed support with dyslexia, and had to reapply to Oxford after narrowly missing out first time. That experience taught me that progress is rarely linear, and I try to meet each student wherever they are and help them move forward with confidence.
