In total, I have over 350+ lessons worth of experience under my belt, and have enabled my students of all academic backgrounds reach and exceed their aspirations.

I have been tutoring for over 5 years now, working with a range of students of all ages (4-17), levels of ability, and educational needs. In particular I have enjoyed mentoring my clients throughout their KS2 SATS, GCSEs, A-Levels, and university entrance exams. I have also supported multiple students throughout their entire application process for university, particularly Oxbridge.

I have a particularly strong eye for detail and enjoy marking and providing feedback regarding personal statements, coursework and homework.

I have mentored several students throughout the Oxbridge process, equipping them with unique and knowledgeable insights, as well as helping them to be confident and competent at Interview. Four of my former students are now current undergraduates at Oxford University.

I have also mentored several students throughout their UCAS applications - all of my Russell Group clients have achieved their first choice university. They have applied to study Geography, English Literature, Creative Writing, History, Biochemistry, Biomedicine, etc.

Biography

I grew up near the seaside in Dorset. I gained a scholarship and bursary to attend Canford School where I took my A-levels in Geography (A*), English Literature (A*) and Spanish (A*/D2). I then went on to study Geography at Oxford University, where I achieved a 2:1 degree. Since graduating, I have worked in academia, consulting and journalism. I have recently completed my Masters Degree in Urbanisation and Development at LSE.

Approach to Tutoring

I am a smiley, enthusiastic and conscientious tutor/mentor with a proven ability to quickly identify the areas where my clients need help. Every session I run aims to be fun, challenging and rewarding, with the ultimate goal of helping students to reach their potential.

In each session, homework will be set. All lesson agendas, resources, marked homework pieces will be made readily available for students and their parents. I use Google Meet and Google Drive to complete my lessons.

When not tutoring

Outside of studies and tutoring, I enjoy listening to podcasts, going on long walks, and reading books with my book club.
