Oxford Graduate English Tutor, Teaching Students for GCSEs, A-Levels and University Applications

Hello! I`m Leonardo. I`m a recent law graduate from the University of Oxford who studied History, English Literature, and Computer Science for A Levels.

During my degree at Oxford, I developed my writing, analysis, and reading comprehension. Because of my experiences with the challenges in coming to understand these skills, I am eager to teach them to students pursuing their own studies, whether in preparation for their GCSEs, A-Levels or for their university applications. This means I can greatly improve students' performance in essay-based subjects such as History and English so as to ensure that their essays are well-structured with interesting analyses. Furthermore, my familiarity with intense, content-heavy subjects has allowed me to develop an understanding of how to effectively study for exams in a manner that deepens a student's understanding of their topic so as to prepare them for any exam paper. This includes an understanding of a range of revision and study techniques that can be varied depending on the way that individual students learn best, ensuring that not only their exam technique is polished, but that they are well-equipped with the necessary content needed to achieve outstanding grades.

Having studied a range of A-Level subjects, from History to Computer Science, I can provide insight as to how a student may use a unique academic background in computer science or STEM to their advantage in their application. This unique perspective is furthered by the modules I studied for my degree, which explored the interaction between law and technology. Furthermore, having gone to a state school, I did not receive much support from my school and had to independently navigate the UCAS application system and understand how to write a compelling application. I therefore am aware of the challenges that students may face in applying for universities, and am keen to make the application process less elusive for such students. This includes an understanding of what kind of extracurriculars a student may wish to pursue to strengthen their application, and how to make a compelling application with the extracurriculars they already pursue.
