Iona

I studied Philosophy at the University of Bristol, focusing on Ethics and Political Philosophy critiquing modern Democracy. Alongside my 3 year degree, I pursued my interest in politics by working as a research fellow for a global organisation aiming to revolutionize 21st-century politics. In my final year, I also supported a first year Philosophy student to get to grips with the basics of Philosophy. After university, I secured a highly competitive role in strategy consultancy, where I was part of a multidisciplinary team that pushed me to learn about a huge range of industries. This role also allowed me to hone my communication and presentation skills which have been invaluable in my role as a tutor. After spending two years in strategy consulting, I am returning to University to pursue a Master's degree in Physiotherapy at King's College London.

As a naturally very enthusiastic person I like to inject motivation and energy into my sessions making them fun and engaging. I believe that strong and open communication along with effective goal-setting is key to success with my students, and I make sure to establish regular progress check-ins. With English and Philosophy specifically, my tutoring approach aims to broaden students' understanding of relevant literature and other content to ensure depth and critical analysis in their essays, alongside ensuring my students have a strong grasp of exam mark schemes by breaking the requirements down step by step.

Alongside being a tutor, I am a Master’s student at King's College London studying Physiotherapy. I have a love for sport and in my spare time I can be found running round the landmarks of London, or another European city. I am also learning to sew and am currently experimenting with making my own clothes.
