Edward Jones - Tutors - Keystone Tutors

Experience

After finishing my degree I was given the opportunity to teach at Eton for a term. This involved teaching history to boys of all ages, and giving the odd lecture. I ran the Oxbridge program for history, interviewing, going over statements and preparing for the entrance tests. I also coached U16 football, finishing the season with a satisfying ten wins from eleven games.

Biography

Following an enjoyable and successful career at school, taking A-Levels in History, Theology and Biology, I went on to study Modern History at New College, Oxford where I achieved first class honours in 2009. I've just finished studying law, and start the Bar course in September before undertaking pupillage in 2012.

Personal Approach

Where education has become increasingly results-based, I find that it is important give pupils a thorough background to what they learn. This means putting historical concepts in their relevant context, or explaining the practicalities of science or maths. Not only does this help them understand material better, but keeps interest levels high contributing to their overall success. From my own experience, I have learned that tempo is all important. Every student has different needs and abilities that need to be worked on or amplified, and therefore, knowing when to push or consolidate is crucial.

What I do when I am not tutoring

Studying Law, taking up cycling. Football, tennis in London. Windsurfing where weather permits.
