Teaching Experience Maxim has tutored since graduating from Oxford in 2019. He has delivered over 1000 hours of tutoring, a testament to his commitment and dedication. In 2022, one of Maxim's students scored an A* in A-Level Politics, despite the Covid-19 pandemic. His students regularly gain top grades in A-levels and coursework. In 2021, both long-term Politics students got their desired grades and went to their dream universities. Maxim has experience across the Humanities, including various A-Level Politics syllabi and exam boards. The Oxbridge tutorial system (going through essays forensically and discussing them in depth) is central to Maxim's tutoring. These were, in his own words, "the best years of my life, with a learning experience I'm keen to share." Testimonials “The amount of history and your ability to create a timeline in order to help me learn the syllabus, although (it) may seem like common sense, makes the course much easier to understand thanks to you.” Andreas (A-Level Politics student) “Maxim tutored our son regularly throughout his A level Politics course. He was awarded an A* in his exam. Maxim has extensive background knowledge about the subject, exam technique and offers patience and persistence. Our son said he misses the sessions now the exams are over, which is a real endorsement. I would thoroughly recommend Maxim.” Jane (parent of former Politics student) Maxim has helped several students achieve places at top tier schools like Westminster, Highgate, South Hampstead, University College School, Wetherby, and Latimer. He spent three years at Trinity College, Oxford reading History and Politics. At Oxford, Maxim focused on British and international politics, achieving high marks in International Relations and US Politics. While a student, Maxim also appeared on University Challenge and was twice an elected member of the Oxford Union's governing body. Maxim got three A grades at A-Level, notching up 100% in UK Politics with additional success in US Politics. Maxim received offers from LSE and Warwick along with Oxford.

I earned my PhD in Classics many years ago, but all the while I have been teaching the subject I have continued to pursue it as a student. I have a great love of the classics. I've previously been the head of the Classics department at Queen's Gate School where I taught all Classical subjects -- Latin, Ancient Greek Ancient History and Classical Civilisation -- at all levels. I also helped students prepare for the Common Entrance examinations in Latin and Ancient Greek. I have tutored students individually over many years, including online in many different subjects including English, History and Philosophy. I walk my dog twice a day and have a keen interest in the sport of horse racing. Whether it's improving your grades or getting the most out of your studies, I'd love to help!

Teaching is my Passion but just a profession. I started teaching at a tender age of 12 and since then I've been teaching students from the age of 3 up to 74. I have taught Business, Economics, Accounting, Math, English, Sociology, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Politics, Geography and History for GCSE/ OL and Advanced Level examinations for popular local and international exam boards including Cambridge, Edexcel, OCR and AQA. During my 22 years of formal school teaching career and more than 25 years of tutoring, I have produced most World Prize Winners who scored 600/600 for the above subjects in the above mentioned examinations consecutively over many years. I have also lectured at Universities and tutored for undergraduates, post graduates and PhD students and helped with their assignments and assessments over the years. My classes are interactive and fun to learn which make the students love not just like the subject. I discuss a range of past exam questions, self-prepared exams and training the students to improve their writing skills in theory subjects and improve their analytical skills in other. My most important asset of all is my flexibility and adaptability to the individual requirements and needs of each student and preparing myself accordingly. This skill I have gained by teaching students of all culture and age groups from 63 different countries. Demo lessons I’ve attached some links below of my demo lessons which will give an idea on my teaching methodology. Please feel free to contact me if you have any more queries.

I have an M.A. with Distinction in European History from King's College London and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and a B.A. in Latin from the University of Oregon in the United States. I have five years' experience tutoring, both one-on-one and in small groups. I've had students of all ages and walks of life, and try always to look for my students' personal connection to a subject that really opens up their passion. I teach Spanish and Latin to all levels including GCSE, A-level, degree and US system. I also teach History, Gov/Pol and Classics. I've taught in schools and also conducted oral assessments and mock exams. I'm originally from the US, but I've lived in a number of places since then. I spent several years in Mexico, where I was a journalist and language teacher. I've worked for many years as a translator and I'm fluent or conversational in five European languages.

I'm a History tutor with 5+ years of experience. I am an Oxford graduate, who read Ancient and Modern History at BA level. This niche course took an incredibly broad view of history, allowing me to study such disparate subjects as Alexander the Great and his early successors (333-302BC), and modern non-state actors in Mexico (2006-2014). As such, I have experience in engaging not only with history (as it is traditionally conceived) at a high academic level, but with classics and international politics as well. I received a high 2:1 in my finals, despite the difficulties caused by sitting the exams during the coronavirus pandemic, and attained a strong 1st (72) in my thesis, which might be considered a more representative statement on my attainment, as it was submitted prior to the crisis reaching tipping-point in the UK. At A-Level I had an unusually scientific background, taking History (A), Biology (A*) and Maths (A), whilst achieving an A in AS Physics. Outside of more formal studies, I also read an extensive amount of 20th century classic literature and philosophy, and am teaching myself Spanish. On top of this, I competed in Blues Gymnastics while at Oxford, have a black belt in karate, and travel as much as possible (with an especial focus on the middle east). As I hope all this indicates, I have a broad range of interests which inform a holistic approach to education and suggest a genuinely inquisitive and engaging nature. I look forward to encouraging my love of learning in others, as well helping them to understand the material they are studying.

I am a graduate of Oxford University. I tutored throughout my studies, and consequently have 9 years of experience - both in the UK and abroad. I teach English Language and Literature, History, Latin and Greek and French up to A-level, as my main subjects. I have also specialised in tutoring the humanities up to A-Level/ IB Level tutoring, including politics, religious studies and history. I have taught at all levels, having worked with students as young as 5 years-old, through to A-Level students and adult learners. I have experience in preparing students for the ISEB Pre-tests, for 11+, 13+ and common entrance - English and maths. I have successfully coached many students through the application procedures to top UK independent schools, including Eton College and Harrow School, and to top universities including Cambridge University and University College London. I am a committed tutor and have consistently produced excellent results. I believe that effective teaching must focus on the student’s needs and must be engaging and fun. I always strive to bring the best out in my students.

I tutor History, Art History, Classical Studies, Academic Writing and Critical Thinking (TSA) to A-level, Cambridge Pre-U, IIB, APP(USA), and undergraduate students and in the University of Oxford`s International post-graduate programmes. I also advise Oxbridge candidates on interview techniques and assess admissions essays. In the Oxford tutorial style we explore a subject in depth by discussion, research and essays. I am very experienced at distance learning, using Zoom, Skype or Teams supported by tailored learning packs. My students achieve their potential, raise their grades and gain confidence from enhanced understanding of key points, learning how to research and analyse source material, and develop their ability to presentation their ideas and findings in clear, well-planned essays, all of which are transferable skills attractive to employers. I studied the history of Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic and Modern Art and Architecture at the University of Oxford, completed a doctoral thesis in maritime history, was a senior academic manager for the Bodleian Library, Oxford for ten years, and am a qualified teacher. I have taught for over 20 years, and consistently achieve good results in a structured but creative and motivating way, meeting my students` expectations and helping them to raise their game. My current students are studying Pre-U, A-level and undergraduate Classical Studies, History of Art, and early Modern and Modern European History, and I am familiar with current examination board syllabuses and top UK university courses in those subjects. My relaxed but structured approach using the Oxford tutorial style of mutual discussion develops confidence and enthusiasm and enables my students to achieve their full potential. They are helped to enhance their skills in research and analysis of source material and to create effective written work which improves their results. Recent students have been helped to lift their grades by more than 10%, often the difference between an adequate pass and a competitive good pass at A-level, and between a 2.2 and a career-enhancing 2.1 or a 1st at degree level. I am a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and of the Royal Historical Society, and an Accredited Lecturer for the Arts Society, and formerly a Council member of leading historical societies. I am a published historian and consultant in art history and maritime history and a frequent speaker at conferences.

I am an experienced tutor, with over 10 years of experience. I am passionate about good quality teaching and a strong advocate for education. I enjoy sharing my subject knowledge and helping my students achieving their goal through rigorous work and emotional investment. I have a BA, MA and MSc in History and related subjects (Philosophy, Religious Studies, Cultures) and I am currently completing my PhD in the History of Emotions. As a trained historian, I am able to see the bigger picture, putting pieces together, with the strongest eye for details. Usually, I am excellent in identifying and addressing problems, especially in regards to my students or my classroom environment. My students have described me as a ‘rigorous’ and ‘inspiring’ tutor. I am Italian and I have been educated both in Italy (BA, MSc) and in the UK (MA, PhD). I have a wide, deep, solid knowledge of Humanities, particularly History, Cultural Studies and Religious Studies. I am fluent in English, Italian (mother tongue), Spanish (University level, DELE diploma) and French. I have also studied Ancient Greek and Latin. I can teach a History lesson starting from the etymology of a word, quoting literary texts and primary sources, using several different historiographical approaches. On the contrary, I can teach Spanish and Italian not only focusing on linguistic functions or grammar, but also explaining the meaning and use of the language through the culture and history of Spain and Italy. I would say my teaching approach is Socratic and solidly interdisciplinary. Essentially, I am comfortable teaching any subject in the Humanities. Currently I am working as an Assistant Tutor at the University of Warwick, where I teach a module focused on Early Modern European History, which is my area of expertise. I have experience in planning and delivering lessons, marking assignments, monitoring students' progress, being aware of health and safety as well as pastoral issues related to my students. During the last two years I have also worked for a charity called 'The Brilliant Club', delivering academic style programmes in schools, to promote higher educations for young people with high potentiality but disadvantaged backgrounds. I regularly teach Italians to kids in my local area and, when still residing in Italy, I worked for several years as private tutor for private families, assisting kids aged 7 to 17.

I graduated from Oxford University in 2017, where I received my BA in Classics. The primary focus of my degree was Greek and Latin literature, though I took modules on Greek Art & Architecture and on both ancient and modern Philosophy too. I now work as a tutor in London, and have 5 years of experience tutoring students from age 8 to 18. I specialise in teaching Latin, and have worked with students at Common Entrance, GCSE, A-level and Oxbridge Application level. I have tutored English up to GCSE, and at 11+ and Common Entrance level, and non-verbal and verbal reasoning are also subjects I am happy to teach. My aim as a tutor is always to pass on my own enthusiasm for learning to my students, to keep the lessons engaging and interesting, and to tailor the work specifically to the individual.

Find a Pre-U Classical Studies tutor

The Cambridge International Examination (AS and A Level) in Classical Studies gives students the opportunity to explore and understand the civilisations of ancient Greece and Rome. It gives them an appreciation of the Classical world, and prepares them for further study at University. 

 

The syllabus requires students to interpret and analyse a range of original sources including textual, material and archaeological. Hiring a Classical Civilisation tutor can help students improve their critical thinking around sources and help them to communicate their thoughts fluently and effectively. 

 

Having a tutor for Pre-U sets students up for the rigour of academic study at University. Students can develop their confidence in an informal setting with a friendly, supportive tutor.

George L

Classics Tutor

George helped guide me through both GCSE and A level maths despite also being swamped with work himself. This attitude of others before himself provided me with the help I needed to pass the modules included. I'm therefore grateful for the time he spent as it not only bettered me, but was a good test of his own capability. Both George and myself passed with the grades we wanted and I could not have done it without him.
