I am a recent graduate from the University of Oxford, attaining a 2:1 in Ancient and Modern History. I can teach History up to an A Level standard, as well as English and Drama up to a GCSE standard. I can also offer advice in all facets of the Oxbridge admissions process, from personal statements to interview technique.

I take a co-operative approach to tutoring, believing it beneficial to undertake in an active dialogue between myself and the pupil. Humanities are, after all, subjective, and the key technique is to learn to properly substantiate your argument, rather than simply regurgitate an argument that has been fed directly to you.
