Experience
I have been tutoring students of all ages and at all levels since 2002 both in a private capacity and for a variety of tutoring groups.
Biography
I was educated at Winchester and went on to read Classics at Balliol College, Oxford, where I was awarded a Double First. I continued my studies at law school before starting work in corporate finance law. After four years in the City, I decided to return to academic study in theology and philosophy at St. John's College, Cambridge.
Personal Approach
My tutoring style is designed to generate as much active involvement by the student as possible. Tutoring time is balanced according to the needs of the client between examination coaching (handwriting, mnemonic techniques, time/mark allocation discipline, revision styles) and subject content (probing and consolidating background knowledge, instilling enthusiasm, analysing key aspects of each topic).
