Tom

Oxford

German, Latin, History, Law

Masters: Bachelor of Civil Law; Distinction (2015)

school pupils and undergraduates at summer schools in Oxford. I am also a senior trainer for a student welfare and support charity, for whom I train volunteers to look after their fellow students. I have assisted in teaching mooting to beginners. My general approach in languages would be an emphasis on a solid understanding of the grammar rather than the trotting out of set phrases, but this obviously depends on the tutee's level, and just...

David

Oxford

Maths, Physics

Masters: 2:1 MEng Engineering Science (2013)

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 2-3 weeks of daily two hour tutorials...

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...

Alexander

Oxford

Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Entrance Exams, Medicine

Bachelors: BMBCh (2018)

work in an exam focused manner going through practice questions and then addressing any issues that arise either with exam technique or subject understanding. The simplest approach is usually the best. The first session will consist of going through the syllabus for the relevant exam board and highlighting areas to target. This will be followed by several practice questions, allowing me to decide, with you, on the teaching style that suits you best. From then...

Dorothy

Oxford

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...

Tim

Maths

QTS: GTP - Outstanding (2009)

schools for the last 7 years (and counting), teaching up to Further Maths A level and beyond. For even longer, I've tutored at many different levels, from enriching a year 8 pupil to helping at first year undergraduate level (both Maths degree and mathematical elements of other numerate degrees) I enjoy helping my pupils to gain deep understanding of the maths and develop problem solving skills. These, I believe, are important for success in maths...

I am also an experienced mentor, working on study skills and providing support to examination candidates and interpersonal skills for students on the Autism spectrum. In 2018-19, I plan to specialise in SEN support for language students. From my experience, teaching is about communication, empathy and stimulating creativity. To learn a language is to connect with an aspect of yourself you were previously...

Tom

Oxford

Maths, Physics, Electronics / Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

Masters: Engineering Science (2:1) (2013)

- before the class moves on. Private tutoring is an excellent way to identify things that the student has been taught, but has not had the chance to properly understand. I have two favourite techniques for this. 1) Asking "why is this the answer?" The classroom does not usually provide sufficient time for this. But in a private tutorial, we can get into the true concepts behind the material - usually making the material a...
