Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

My tutoring journey began in 2018 during a gap year in Houston, Texas, where I supported IB Maths and Physics students, along with GCSE learners. Over two years, I’ve helped students strengthen their problem-solving skills and exam techniques, including guiding a Physics student from a 4 to a 6 on their IB diploma. I focus on conceptual clarity and critical thinking, vital for success in PAT and advanced exams.

My sessions, both in-person and online, incorporate electronic whiteboards for visualising complex concepts and solving challenging PAT problems. By drawing from my Oxford tutorials, I guide students in exploring Physics and Mathematics intuitively, building the problem-solving acumen required for the PAT and related assessments.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is centred on the student’s goals, with flexible structures tailored to PAT preparation. I identify syllabus areas needing improvement, offering a mix of structured lessons and intensive problem-solving sessions. Students can choose between course-based learning or a focus on PAT-style questions and exam strategies.

Inspired by Oxford tutorials, I encourage students to explore concepts independently, guiding their thinking with prompts and demonstrations. I track progress meticulously and adapt sessions dynamically based on student feedback. My unique experience applying to Oxbridge provides valuable insights into excelling in PAT and navigating the admissions process effectively.
