Subjects

As well as teaching English, History, Latin and TPR (Religious Studies) I have also assisted those taking 13+ scholarships to prepare for general and humanities papers, essays and academic interviews. I am familiar with the Common Academic Scholarship exams as well as school-specific papers such as the Eton King's Scholarship, Harrow Scholarship and Winchester Election.

 

I have also helped pupils to prepare for 11+ entry assessments and interviews, including the ISEB Pre-Test as well as school-specific assessments such as the Eton List Test and the Harrow Test.

In addition to my subject specific teaching I have also worked as a mentor up to GCSE level, monitoring and supporting academic progress across the spectrum. This has included devising and overseeing personalised revision and study programmes whilst offering attention, guidance and encouragement in order to ensure that students fulfil their potential. For many, this is particularly relevant and important in the run up to examinations as it provides a level of personalised, individual support that would not otherwise be possible.​

Please note that, given my school commitments, I tend to be available for private teaching during the major holidays only. My diary also fills several months in advance. Therefore, I am unable to take on long-term roles and my tutoring tends to be relatively "concentrated" - interview preparation and mock interviews (at both pre-test and scholarship level), subject specific revision and reinforcement, focused exam paper preparation and more general academic mentoring - helping to devise and oversee individual revision and study programmes to guide pupils' preparation in advance of exams. That said, even if I am unable to schedule any teaching I am often able to assist on a consultancy basis should this be required. Therefore, please do get in touch if you would like to discuss whether I may be able to help.
