Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I have five years of tutoring experience across high school, college, and graduate levels, including AP, IB, and A-level subjects. My academic background, which includes a Bachelor of Arts in History and a Master of Science in Archaeology, provides me with a deep understanding of these subjects and insight into the expectations universities have for students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. As an American who pursued higher education in the UK, I am uniquely positioned to guide North American students through the UK graduate admissions process, offering valuable perspective and support.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is highly personalized and student-centered. Before each lesson, I ask students what specific areas they need help with, ensuring that the session focuses on their current challenges. I prepare thoroughly by reviewing the material myself, tailoring the content to the student's unique needs. Whether a student is struggling with understanding concepts, improving exam techniques, or organizing their study strategies, I adapt my teaching to provide the most relevant and effective support. The focus is always on helping the student master the material in a way that resonates with them.

To ensure progress, I actively assess students' learning styles and adjust my methods accordingly. I measure their development through regular reviews of their homework, tests, and class performance, while also paying close attention to how they engage during our sessions. By maintaining open communication and fostering an encouraging learning environment, I ensure that students feel comfortable sharing their struggles and achievements. This continuous feedback loop allows me to adapt my teaching to ensure the student’s academic success and growth.
