Masters: MA Comparative Literature (2016)

unaware of, opening yourself up to new ways of thinking, cultures and histories. Everyone can learn any language, as long as they care. Geography, History, Philosophy and Drama are always about empathising with another person or persons in their context, from their perspective. That is one of the reasons doing research on these topics is so engrossing: it is like getting to know someone intimately. I hope to communicate this fascination to my students every...

It also involves open discussions about what the student wants, whether that's to let me lead or to focus on specific areas or skills. I believe my approach is friendly, patient and efficient. I can teach Philosophy as it's my academic specialism. I can teach citizenship as I've studied politics and political philosophy at length, and have practical experience in this area. I can teach Critical Thinking as the thinking skills this course focusses on...

Christopher

Oxford

Philosophy / Critical Thinking, Study Skills, Maths, English, Government and Politics, Religious Studies

Masters: Philosophy (2015)

A core aspect of my approach is understanding the circumstances/requirements of each student so that I can (with their input) tailor a study-plan to their particular strengths. Importantly, I know what is expected (of exams and coursework) at every tier of the UK education system. I know what ideas, styles-of-argument and pieces of knowledge are sought after by examiners and I can therefore equip students with an ability to clearly and succinctly communicate these ideas,...

I try to set attainable targets each week and seek to improve writing and exam techniques as...
