I am a Cambridge University graduate. I recieved a BA Hons in Philosophy (class 2.i). This has given me particular strength in the areas of critical, logical thought. This enables me to effectively break down complex ideas and convey them in a simple way, and to help students give structure to their own thoughts and ideas, which is invaluable in improving essay technique, and building confidence before exams. My approach to tutoring is inspired by the Socratic method. I strive to create an atmosphere in which my students learn actively, not passively; exploring ideas freely, being forthcoming with questions, and discovering things for themselves, which in turn leads to longer lasting comprehension.
I have also trained as an actress an LAMDA, and have excellent communication skills and an ability to be creative in my approach to how different people learn. I have a real passion for teaching, and am committed to improving confidence and enthusiasm in my students, as I believe this is intrinsically linked to academic achievement. I have experience working with younger children through drama classes and parties for nursery and primary ages, as well as private tutoring, and I am able to provide a good balance between fun and discipline for younger students.
I am currently working as a private tutor for a number of students across London, aged between 11 and 28 years, in most of the subjects listed above, through private arrangement as well as some tutoring agencies. I am also a professional actress, but the business is quiet at the moment, and I am enjoying spending most of my time teaching. I find it very rewarding to be able to continue using my mind in an intellectual way, and help others realise their potential.
I studied English, History and Art at A level and Critical Thinking at AS level, all grade A, and 11 subjects at GCSE, all grade A or A*. If you would like to see my CV, or references, just ask.
If you think I could be the right tutor for you, please send me a message detailing your requirements, and asking any questions you may have, and I will be more than happy to discuss your needs, over the phone if appropriate, so that we can decide together if I am the right person to help you, and you can make an informed decision. I look forward to hearing from you :)
