About Elizabeth:

Experience

- 11+/13+/16+ English/Maths/Verbal Reasoning/Non-Verbal Reasoning

- KS3/GCSE/IGCSE/A Level English

- GCSE/IGCSE/A-Level/Undergraduate Sociology

- History/EPQ/General essay and exam support

In 2014, I worked as a clerical checker for OCR and Edexcel, giving me familiarity with exam boards. In 2015, I worked as a teaching assistant in an adult education GCSE Maths classroom with Aspire Sussex. Then, in 2017, I worked as a teaching assistant for the Downing Keio Summer School. I assisted in English language classes, held my own International Relations workshops and gave pastoral and one-on-one educational support to students.

After graduating, I started tutoring privately in October 2017. My experience includes entrance exam support, such as 11+, 13+, 16+, VR and NVR. All students I have supported have been offered places at their target schools, and two of these students even continued tuition with me, working on their English skills during the transition to the new school.

Relatedly, I have the most experience tutoring English as a subject, to all ages and abilities. All my students have seen improvement, whether in their national exam grades, school reports, or simply comprehension, engagement and daily abilities. My current English students range from intense, exam-focused grade improvements, to an adult learner improving her conversation skills, to a Year 8 student exploring her interest in dystopian fiction and modern drama.

My university degree has also lead me to tutor Sociology at all ages, particularly A Level and, occasionally, GCSE. I greatly enjoy this work, as it is a very approachable and fascinating subject to most students, as they can link it in with their experiences in society. I also help students with their university applications and Oxbridge interviews, focusing on HSPS.

Finally, due to my generalist background and passion for analysis, I support students with essay writing more broadly, finding work in EPQ technique, History preparation, and A Level Economics preparation. Recently, I have worked at a Easter camp at Wells Cathedral College leading classes in A Level Economics, and intend to travel to Shenzhen for a summer camp introducing the subject to Chinese students aged 14-17 later this year. Students tend to find clarity and direction with my support, learning how to build and substantiate arguments in their subjects.

Biography

My name is Liz Campbell and I have been working as a private tutor for almost seven years. I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2017 and have since been tutoring, starting off part-time around other commitments, before making the transition into working full-time as a professional tutor in 2020. At university, I studied Sociology on the HSPS course, as well as Japanese on the AMES course, and worked on many student plays and short films in my spare time. Since, my hobbies include film, literature, psychoanalysis, ice skating, French conversation and travel. Before university, I studied the International Baccalaureate, with Film, History and French as my High Level subjects and Biology, Maths and English as my Standard Level subjects. I am very passionate about helping students achieve their goals through tutoring. Consequently, I consistently enjoy and find daily motivation through working with students at Keystone Tutors.

Approach to Tutoring

I adapt my style to each individual student, quickly identifying their strengths, weaknesses, priorities and goals, and, importantly, their communication style. I have accumulated a wealth of resources over the past seven years, many of which I created myself, many are sourced and edited from elsewhere. Through collaborative work during the sessions, I tailor my approach to fit their needs and personalities. I particularly enjoy getting to know the student and moulding the subject around their interests, making sure the sessions are useful, rewarding and enjoyable.

When not tutoring

As mentioned, my hobbies include film, literature, psychoanalysis, ice skating, French conversation and travel. I am often going to the cinema or to a new art exhibition and I always make sure I have my next book lined up. I live in Walthamstow, London, but often travel up to Cambridge to see friends and visit the city.

All this being said, I am a full-time tutor, so the majority of my time is spent working and providing tuition to students.
