Isobel

I have graduated from the University of Oxford with a 2.i degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. I am currently studying for a master's degree in Law. I am an experienced tutor who can offer services for English, Mathematics, 11+/13+, Politics and Government, Economics, Philosophy/RE, Business Studies, Verbal Reasoning, History, and English as a foreign language.

Tutoring Experience

I have a wide variety of tutoring experience. I have done a lot of work helping students through admissions tests such as the 11+ and 13+ as well as A level entrance tests. I also conduct mock Oxford PPE interviews every year and mentor students through university application stages such as personal statement, preparation for admissions tests, and developing interviewing techniques.

I also have experience teaching a variety of subjects: Politics and Government, Mathematics, English Literature, History, Economics/Business Studies and Philosophy. I am particularly well regarded for the Politics and Government A-Level.

Lastly, having achieved my TEFL qualification (Teach English as a Foreign Language), I am well placed to teach english as a foreign language at any level. I have worked extensively with Chinese students on improving their english fluency, working towards admissions tests and IELTS.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring focuses on building the confidence of the students I have. I believe that students who feel confident in their work always perform better. I am a fun and friendly tutor who can quickly build up repore with students, however, I also push students to build up their skills and be the best they can be.

My Oxford education has taught me the value of pushing beyond the boundaries of a syllabus, I try to encourage students to see the bigger picture of what they are studying and develop a passion for their subject.
