Study Skills Tutoring

Having studied at the University of Cambridge doing a Humanities subject (Social Anthropology) I feel that I am able to teach effective essay planning, reading, note taking and time management. During my degree I was required to produce one to two essays a week. Therefore, I am aware of how important it is to optimize your study time when you have deadlines. My students also find my lessons very helpful for preparing for exams. I have found that often students lose marks because they had not practiced and refined their exam technique. My lessons emphasis planning for exams, including deciding how much time to spend on each question and deciding what questions to answer.

Writing Advance Tutoring

Having studied a Humanities subject in my first degree and for my Masters and having to produce 10,000 and 12,000 word dissertations for those courses, respectively, I have strong essay planning skills. I feel confident that I can improve most students essay writing which typically requires them being taught more effective essay structuring techniques. I have found when tutoring students that often it is the case that they have not planned their essays well. Their grades suffer not because they do not have good ideas or have done thorough research but because their essays lack a coherent argument.

I also won the scholar prize for Religious Studies in my high school.
