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 then returned to Oxford for a DPhil in Politics.

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.

Leo has been very helpful in expanding my base knowledge of the course and going very in depth into some of the core ideas and has taken me through each point in the specification in extreme detail leaving me without any gaps. Very helpful and I highly recommended!
