I am a highly experienced tutor with over 7 years experience teaching and tutoring in private and public schools, as well as privately and online, in the UK, France and Spain. I am familiar with all major exam boards, and have been frequently noted for the passion and rigor with which I introduce and teach my subjects. I am a firm believer in the idea that education should be available to all, and that there is is student without potential. I thus make a point to help the student see the attraction of the subject. My methodology is focused on ensuring immersion in both the more theoretical and abstract principles of the subect and their application through practice and concrete examples. I aim to get the student applying themselves consistently as soon as possible, keeping a constant eye out for areas for improvement. I studied at the University of Warwick, Sciences Po, and the Sorbonne. I have worked as a teacher, tutor, translator, researcher, as well as business research and charity. I am fluent in 6 languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German. I am also a teacher of Latin and Greek.

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 am a current teacher and I have been teaching for eleven years. I first started tutoring at the age of sixteen, when I was recruited by the company that supported me with tutoring. Therefore I have nineteen years of tutoring experience! No student I have ever taught has been the same, therefore I place priority on individually tailored lessons. Most students come to me with a weakness or lack of confidence in the subject they need support with and I throughly enjoy seeing them sail through exams because they have been shown the appropriate technique and exactly how to hit those top marks. It's been so enjoyable having students and parents message me straight after exams in regards to how confident they felt. As a tutor I regularly check in with parents/guardians with monthly reports and examples of work so you can see the progress for yourselves. However, the support doesn't stop once students have sat their exams. I offer free UCAS and personal statement support to previous tutees to support them in their ongoing learning journey.

I have three years’ experience teaching in one-to-one and group settings. I am a Cambridge university graduate with a degree in Classics, and prior to starting my own business, I spent two years teaching English as a foreign language in the French Caribbean and France. Passionate about the French language I am an advanced French speaker and am equally excited by Latin and all things relating to the ancient world. Working as a Latin summer school teacher, I was commended for my ability to pass on my enthusiasm for the subject to my students. I also have experience teaching performing arts, having run my own dance school when I was 16 years’ old. As a mentor, I enjoy developing individuals and set out to help people achieve their best. Having successfully been through 11+, 13+ and 16+ entrance exams, with an excellent academic record, and listed as one of Elle’s top female entrepreneurs under 30, I understand that success first begins with your state of mind. Alongside coaching students through their subjects, I work with them to develop their confidence and instil a belief that “they can”. Subjects I cover: • Latin: all levels to A-level • Classics: all levels to A-level • French: all levels to A-level • Government & Politics: all levels to A-level **** About Me I am a performing arts enthusiast and my debut play has been shortlisted for multiple awards. I train regular to help develop a winner’s mindset and recently completed my first half-marathon. In my free time, I can be found curled up with an ancient philosophy book, eating cake or travelling abroad.

*Please message me to request a booking as my timetable is changeable and across different platforms so is not always updated on here* Hello, I'm Marie from Oxford, UK. I'm a professional teacher, private tutor, University Lecturer and Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Trainer. My specialist subjects include Business, Marketing, English Language, Media Studies and Sociology, including coursework and exam support, and proofreading / editing assignments. I'm also a qualified English teacher, and have recently been tutoring students to prepare them for their 11+, 13+, GCSEs, A-Levels and IELTS exams, as well as delivering a complete primary homeschooling programme. In my career so far, I've been lucky enough to work with some fantastic education institutions including Universities and Colleges in Oxford, India and China. I've delivered professional development training to teachers and professional staff from many different countries, and my work has seen me travel to many places such as Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Malta and Kurdistan. I've also worked as a travelling Governess, accompanying families as they move locations, ensuring continuity and dependable tuition with excellent success rates. I am passionate about helping my students and clients achieve their goals through education, and I'm equally as happy delivering bespoke training sessions to large groups of staff, teaching a University course, or getting a call from an individual student telling me they've achieved the grade they needed that we worked on in their private study sessions. Before I retrained as a teacher, I worked as a Marketing Manager and Project Manager for a University in Oxford, and these skills and responsibilities have helped to shape my adaptable teaching style and capabilities. I would love to hear from you and find out about your training and education needs, and let's achieve your goals, together.

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 offer tuition in Sociology, Politics, Government, History, English Language, English Literature, Philosophy, Religious Studies, public speaking, essay technique and interview technique. However, I also offer bespoke Oxbridge interview tuition for those wishing to read a Humanities subject. Having been through the process twice and seen it from both sides, I am uniquely placed to guide and assist potential Oxbridge pupils. I also support students in 11+ and 13+ exam entry, with specific focus for bursary or scholarship applications. I've been tutoring for 5 years, and taught many students whilst I was at Cambridge. Before joining Tutor House, I engaged in freelance work, tutoring for friends of the family and members of my social circle. Having graduated, it is my goal to take these skills, and my passion for education, to a wider base of clients. I currently work with a number of students through Tutor House, mainly at 13+ and GCSE level, covering a variety of subjects. I believe that tutoring provides a crucial niche not often covered by mainstream education. Tutoring provides a unique opportunity to build on a pupil's strengths whilst building confidence and helping them overcome their weaknesses. Every pupil has a unique way of learning, and, as such, deserves a completely unique teaching approach, specially tailored to them. It would be my pleasure to apply the knowledge I have gained over my academic career to help new clients excel.

I have always ensured, in my past 4 years of experience tutoring, that my lessons (ranging from 1.5 to 2 hours) are built on creating a relationship and a space for my students in which learning is a safe joyful effort, rather than a stressful one. You are more than allowed to make mistakes, voice your concerns, ask many questions, and learn from them. I am a firm believer that learning, despite being an often challenging process, does not have to be a dreadful standardized procedure and I am here to facilitate that. Due to this belief, my teaching methodologies are rooted in recognizing and then meeting the needs, learning style, and challenges of every individual student. However, a few things have remained the same in my teaching so far. I have always strived to be clear and concise in my explanations. I have used teaching resources such as real-life case studies, Aristotelian debate (easier than it sounds!), and projects for my students to learn in an interactive way that suited their personal style. I ensured that what seem like large, complicated concepts in course material or assignments were broken down into manageable chunks. Through setting realistic milestones, I made certain my students saw their tangible progress over time and thus built their knowledge and confidence. And finally, I provided regular feedback and encouragement that helped students recognise their strengths as well as their areas for further improvement. I have helped my students through a variety of tasks including course material, homework assignments, past papers, and specifically challenging topics to ensure their sustainable progress and success. In addition to learning course material, I believe it is important to help students develop the skills and strategies they need to become independent learners. I aim to teach students not only the content they need to know, but also the study skills, time management, and organization skills they need to succeed academically. I strive to instill in my students a sense of confidence in their learning abilities that proves valuable in their academic pursuits. My lessons are threefold. 1) GCSE Politics and Economics 2) A Level Politics and Economics 3) Undergraduate Level Politics & International Relations. I have A*s in GCSE and A Levels as well as Cambridge Learners Awards for Highest Score in GCSE and AS Economics in the Region. Moreover, I have a First Class Honours in my Undergraduate degree that I enjoyed tremendously. I also have a First Class/Distinction in my Masters in Environment, Politics, and Development from SOAS University of London. I am currently a PhD Researcher at the London School of Economics and Political Science and the recipient of the distinguished 2025 LSE Studentship. I believe my enjoyment and passion for these subjects, my genuine tried and tested teaching methodology, and my dedication and care for my students makes me the right tutor for them. I have experience guiding past students, including neurodivergent students affected by autism or ADHD, through their academic challenges and helped them come out the other side with great progress and a genuine love for learning and can’t wait to do that with you!
