Tutoring Experience

I have been passionate about teaching since my time in secondary school, where I began tutoring students in Philosophy, English Literature, and History. This early experience sparked my interest in education and developed my ability to convey complex ideas clearly and effectively. Over the past two years, I’ve focused more specifically on helping Oxford applicants prepare for Philosophy admissions. My support has ranged from reviewing and refining personal statements to conducting mock interviews and providing feedback on practice tests. These sessions have been tailored to meet each student’s unique needs, ensuring they are well-prepared for the rigorous Oxbridge selection process. Now, as I embark on my legal studies, I am eager to expand my tutoring services and take on more students, offering them the benefit of my experience and personalized guidance to help them achieve their academic ambitions.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring is centered around understanding each student’s unique needs and goals. I begin with an initial assessment to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and objectives, followed by setting clear, achievable goals. Based on this, I create a personalized learning plan that combines theory, practical exercises, and real-world applications to keep the learning process engaging and relevant. During our sessions, I encourage active participation and critical thinking through discussions, debates, and problem-solving exercises, ensuring that the student is not just passively absorbing information but truly engaging with the material. Regular feedback is an essential part of my approach, as it allows for continuous improvement and adjustment of our strategy based on the student’s progress.

I also place a strong emphasis on fostering independent learning, encouraging students to develop their own opinions and study habits outside of our sessions. For those preparing for exams or applications, I incorporate focused practice, such as mock interviews and personal statement reviews, along with guidance on managing stress and staying organized. Throughout the tutoring process, I aim to build the student’s confidence and motivation, regularly acknowledging their progress and helping them stay focused on their long-term goals. This comprehensive approach ensures that my students not only improve academically but also grow as independent, confident learners.
