About Me
I have an BA in Combined Honours in Arts and Humanities (English and Philosophy) from Durham University, and an MA in Philosophy from King's College London. In between my degrees I spent two years in the world of professional tennis playing, studying learning and coaching theory and working as an assistant coach and sports psychologist for a professional player. During this time I worked with some of the world's top tennis coaches, sports psychologists and business coaches, and my subsequent work as a tutor has seen me apply the principles I learnt from these figures to the field of education.
Outside of my tutoring work I am currently doing academic research towards a PhD degree as well as developing fiction writing ideas. I spend my spare time reading, watching films, playing racket sports and watching Tottenham Hotspur play football.
Tutor Experience
I have extensive experience preparing students for the 11+ English, working with them from the ages of 7 upwards to when they take their 11+ exams. I have also taught the Maths and Reasoning components of 11+ preparation. I have also had a lot of experience preparing students for their secondary school interviews alongside the technical academic components of their preparation.
At 13+ level I have taught English, History and RS widely, and developed a template which has proven very effective in helping students develop their understanding of how the comprehension and writing components of English relate to one another. For History, I have developed a model for the essay-writing section which is applicable to both Common Entrance and scholarship papers.
I have also taught English, History and RS at GCSE and A level by adapting the principles and templates that I've developed from working with students at lower ages to higher level work. I've also taught Philosophy at A level, Pre-U and University levels.
