About Me

I am a world class competitive debater who reached the knockout stages at the 2020 Debating World Championships in Thailand as a Judge. Because of this I have been lucky enough to run three debating competitions, two at university level and one at schools level while achieving commended adjudicator status in over 15 more (including the prestigious Glasgow Ancients and Cambridge Womens as well as Thailand WUDC)
I have extensive experience teaching debating workshops, from children as young as nine up to university age students and have taught many public speaking workshops as well.

Aside from debating I am a History and Politics Student and am happy to tutor in these subjects as well as Economics, Mathematics and English Literature. I have also had training in teaching the HAT and TSA Oxbridge admissions tests as well as interview prep so can help with Oxbridge admissions.

In my spare time if I'm not debating I'm either sewing or beekeeping and enjoy learning new skills.

Tutor Experience

I am an experienced tutor, previously working with another agency as a tutor in English Literature, Debating, History and Economics where I was in charge of their Chinese New Year debating and public speaking course. Additionally through Glasgow University I have taught public speaking and debating workshops for beginners and intermediate levels. My style is very tailored around the needs of my students and I make sure that there's lots of opportunities to ask questions and to make sure my lessons are a collaborative process with my students

I have previously supported students with GCSE maths, moving a student with dyslexia from an E to a pass grade. I have also been trained by an Oxbridge admissions tutor in how to teach the TSA and HAT and how to refine interview technique for Oxbridge admissions.

As a languages ambassador I have taught primary school children French and German and with the Holocaust Educational Trust I have taught secondary school age children history.

I am proficient in SPSS and undertook a Quantitive methods module during my undergraduate and have taught beginners stats work on both SPSS and on paper.
