I am an Oxford graduate, providing tutoring for essay subjects up to A-Levels, and university admissions

My overall approach to tutoring is to provide students with both the wider essay-writing techniques needed to succeed in essay-based subjects, whilst additionally guiding students through the content of their subjects in order to highlight points of interest and how they may be used for exam purposes. By applying the writing, reading comprehension, and analysis skills I developed throughout my degree, I aim to provide students with the general soft skills required to excel in essay-based subjects. Having written essays on a weekly basis during my degree, with feedback being given by experienced professors, I am able to apply similar feedback to students to allow them to develop essay-writing techniques that show high academic capabilities. Additionally, the content-heavy nature of my degree, as well as my experience doing GCSEs and A-Levels myself, has allowed me to understand how to approach content-learning in preparation for exams so as to identify what content is necessary and useful for exam purposes, ensuring that a student’s understanding of the content of a subject is sufficiently broad and simultaneously efficient. Through this approach, I aim to improve students’ academic abilities on a wider level, such that they are prepared for anything that may come up in exams.

This approach is flexible depending on the specific needs of a student - for instance, a student who may want to focus on the content of their subject may have a greater emphasis on content-focused tutoring sessions, whereas a student who wishes to improve on their essay writing as a priority will have more essay-writing sessions.
