In 2014, I worked as a clerical checker for OCR and Edexcel, giving me familiarity with exam boards. In 2015, I worked as a teaching assistant in an adult education GCSE Maths classroom with Aspire Sussex. Then, in 2017, I worked as a teaching assistant for the Downing Keio Summer School. I assisted in English language classes, held my own International Relations workshops and gave pastoral and one-on-one educational support to students.

After graduating, I started tutoring privately in October 2017. My experience includes:

11+/13+

- 5 students so far, covering VR and NVR, as well as English comprehension and writing.

English Literature and Language

- 30 students so far, ranging from KS2 to A Level

History

- 3 students so far, ranging from KS3 to A Level

- Particular areas of expertise include: Russia; England; the US; Argentina; China; and Japan

Sociology

- 15 A Level students

- 30 Oxbridge mock interview students

Japanese

- 4 students so far, all beginner or intermediate level

Across all students I have seen significant improvements, not only in grades, but in comprehension and connection with their subject.

Biography

My name is Elizabeth Campbell and I have been working as a private tutor for almost six years. I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2017 and have since been tutoring, working full-time as a professional tutor. I studied Japanese and Sociology and worked on many student plays and short films in my spare time. Before university, I studied the International Baccalaureate, with Film, History and French as my High Level subjects and Biology, Maths and English as my Standard Level subjects. I am very passionate about helping students achieve their goals through tutoring, so I am excited for the opportunity to work with Keystone.

Personal Approach

I adapt my style to each individual student, quickly identifying what they need and how best to communicate with them. My resources are made by myself and I alter them for each student, so every lesson is tailored around them. I particularly enjoy getting to know the student and moulding the subject around their interests.

What I do when I am not tutoring

In my spare time, I enjoy films, art and literature. I am often going to the cinema or to a new exhibition and I always make sure I have my next book lined up. I live in Walthamstow, London, but often travel up to Cambridge to see friends and visit the city.
