how confusing some teaching styles can be; my methods are always clear and direct, usually from a more intuitive perspective. The notes we make during a lesson are emailed to the student in PDF form to use a revision notes in the future - my students have always found this particularly helpful! I am happy to offer short-term, high-intensity tutoring for last minute exam revision if required. I have taken a number of students through...

Alexander

Oxford

Geography

Masters: MSc Biodiversity, Conservation and Management - Distinction (2015)

specific piece of coursework or a dissertation. My approach is to create an encouraging, supportive environment for those who I teach. I ensure that every lesson is fitted to the unique needs of each student, and employ psychological learning style profiles and lesson planning in order to do so. Tutees should look forward to sessions and so I focus strongly on interactive tutoring and encouraging lateral thinking - there is very little talking 'at' tutees...

Dorothy

English, History

Doctorate: DPhil Economic and Social History (2016)

I have worked on Easter and exam revision schools, on a one-to-one basis with students. At University level, I have worked with undergraduates to improve writing and essay technique as well as supporting exam revision. This really depends on the student: I like to take stock as to how they're understanding or performing first and then build on their strengths as well as working on any weaknesses or areas they want/need to improve on. I...

Matthew

Oxford

Maths, Physics, Electronics / Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

Masters: MEng with Distinction (a first in all areas) (2015)

due to a lack of confidence coupled with bad teaching and the stereotypes that surround doing maths. Maths really is nothing more than a way to express ideas precisely and concisely, and is something that should be accessible and enjoyable to everyone. I was fortunate enough to have a maths teacher who was able to show me the beauty of the subject. My approach to tutoring was shaped by him, as a result, I aim...

The online learning platform is ideal for those families who have a packed schedule and cannot fit in any other commutes or in-person meetings. No matter what your schedule looks like, First Tutors wants to help you connect with the perfect personal tutor to meet your needs.

A professional tutor in the Oxford area can help you or your child at any point in the learning process.

Primary School Tutors in Oxford

First Tutors understands just how important it is to give your child the best academic start possible. It is during Key Stages 1 and 2 that students begin to integrate the building blocks for all the numeracy and literacy skills to come. During these pivotal years, your child will be constantly facing new and challenging information. Without mastering these skills during this time, many children may struggle into their university years and even as they move into careers.

Private tuition provides an unparalleled level of academic support and guidance from a professional tutor, which can significantly improve your child's ability to reach their academic potential. When working with a private tutor, your child is the only focus. This means a tutor can really get to know your child and discover their unique learning style, academic gifts, and learning challenges. The tutor can then use this information to create a unique learning plan specifically for your child to help them move through courses more effectively.

Some of the best primary schools in the Oxford area include:

No matter which Oxford-area primary school your child attends, you will likely notice they are facing an increased amount of pressure as they get closer to the end of Year 6. This can show up as an unusual level of difficulty with a particular subject area. It could also become apparent that the pupil's general study skills need to be improved. These skills become increasingly important during a student's secondary years. This is something a personal tutor can help with. Your child's private tutor can work with them to improve general study skills, time management, and organisational skills, as well as help them develop greater test-taking confidence with the introduction of new testing strategies.

Secondary School and Further Education Tuition in Oxford

The transition into a new type of learning environment can cause some pupils to experience a level of academic disorientation. Children who were previously thriving in their studies may suddenly find themselves struggling with the new environment and academic requirements. A personal tutor can work with them to find their footing and establish themselves in this new setting.

There are many great options for secondary education in the Oxford area, including:

Whether your child will be entering a grammar school or other secondary school, the main focus will rapidly become preparing for their GCSEs and A levels. These tests are important because the results can directly impact future academic opportunities. This understandably causes added stress for many students. Additionally, these exams have become even more stressful over the past few years because they have undergone significant structural changes.

Working with a professional tutor can decrease the stress associated with the exams by giving your child a greater number of opportunities to practice and prepare. A tutor with experience in the new testing formats also has greater insight into the best methods for preparing effectively for your child's upcoming GCSEs or A levels.

University-Level Tuition in Oxford
