Over many years I have accumulated ad hoc experience in tutoring students of varying ages and abilities in a range of subjects, in particular History, English and business-related subjects. I have tutored several students in preparation for the Oxford University History Aptitude Test (HAT) who have gone on to read History at Oxford. I have tutored (individually) a large number of students at A level and university level in essay planning and writing, particularly for History, but also for English and other related subjects. I also tutor students for GCSE English, especially those who are struggling at Foundation level. More and more courses now offer research project modules, requiring students to undertake qualitative or quantitative research; I have helped a number of students develop rigorous research proposals with appropriate methodologies and analysis at both IB and undergraduate levels. Some students at university struggle to adapt to unfamiliar academic challenges, and I have helped several students to improve their performance substantially at university. I should also mention that I greatly enjoy providing teaching support for my own daughter, now 14 years old. Because I do not teach full time, I feel that I can bring fresh perspectives to the curricula, and can give real help in students’ acquisition of a deeper understanding of their subjects.
