Information About Tom - Oxford tutor -

(12 reviews)

Personal Description:

I am currently studying for a doctorate in human rights law at Balliol College. I completed my undergraduate degree (in English and German law) at Oxford with a first class grade and a prize in one paper. I also completed the BCL masters degree at Oxford, attaining a distinction and a prize. I passed the Bar in 2016 with an Outstanding grade. I am also offering tuition up to GCSE in Latin, German and History. I can also teach law at GCSE or A-Level. I try to be enthusiastic and assiduous, and I will do whatever is necessary to help.

Tutoring Experience:

I have a great deal of tutoring experience. In addition to the four years I have worked as a private tutor at both A-level and GCSE, I have also taught law to both 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.

Tutoring Approach:

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 how far they want to go in the language. For history I would probably emphasise understanding the mechanics of an argument. However, once again, this all depends on the tutee, and I will do my best to adapt my teaching to their learning style, rather than trying to force them to adopt their learning style to meet my teaching.
