Tutoring Approach

History Tuition Approach

A considerable part of an Oxbridge History application comes down to technique which, when learned and applied effectively, promises great results. I encourage my students to think broadly about historical concepts and engage with the bigger picture of their arguments. This is not only a crucial skill for Oxbridge Interviews but grasping this ‘Historical Imagination’ is an integral feature of the History Aptitude Test.

I tailor each lesson to the specific needs of my student, structuring our sessions in efficient and creative ways. I strive to build positive and professional relationships with my students and instil them with a confidence that makes all their ambitions appear attainable.
