About Me

I have charted an unconventional academic path: having been home-educated until age 16, I excelled at A-Level and graduated from Balliol College, Oxford with First Class Honours in PPE. I then moved to Munich to take up the Maximilianeum Exchange Scholarship, and then to Sydney, Australia as Governor Phillip Scholar. I will soon be returning to Oxford to start my DPhil in Politics.

I believe my diverse educational background gives me a unique perspective as a tutor: I have a strong appreciation for the value of one-to-one learning, and the unique needs and strengths of every individual student. I have also developed the skills and mentality to succeed academically, as well as a passion for learning that is reflected in my teaching.

Tutor Experience

I have tutored Economics and Politics at A-Level (with multiple exam boards) to numerous students of different ages and capabilities. I have also provided Oxford and Cambridge admissions tutoring, including support with the Thinking Skills Assessment, help with drafting writing personal statements, and mock interviews. I have tutored online through six platforms and as a residential summer mentor at Oxford International College, and have >2000 hours of total experience as of October 2025.

Topic Expertise

I specialise in supporting students with essay technique, and in helping students to grasp difficult areas of the syllabus by connecting challenging concepts with common-sense intuitions.

Very helpful and effective in improving the personal statement. Perfect balance of helping with the statement but not spoon-feeding and doing everything for you.

- UCAS

Hi. Thank you very much for the introductory chat. I was expecting more of a run through, almost a taster on how to answer the longer style questions.
