I did my bachelor's (hons) degree in Psychology for 4 years. I loved the subject and did a masters in Psychology at university of east London. I'm currently doing another masters in coaching Psychology from the University of East London. I taught human Psychology to bachelor's students at the University of Swat as a Psychology Lecturer. I have tutored peers, friends and colleagues in General science, Psychology, Psychotherapy and Philosophy throughout my bachelors. I have a deeper intrinsic enthusiasm and love for teaching and tutoring the subjects i love. I have been involved in delivering CBT Counselling, Life coaching and Mentoring. I help with theoretical, empirical and therapeutic understanding of complex psychological concepts for exams, assignments, presentations and dissertations. I have an interactive, supportive and empowering teaching style. I teach both online and in person. I have done so for more than 5 years now and my students are more than satisfied. Send me a message and we can talk about your work.

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) Bio Maxim is a Masters student in London, studying Broadcast Journalism. Before that, he spent two years working exclusively as a freelance History and Politics tutor. 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.

Hi I'm Emily and I've tutored English language and literature for just over 3 years now, as well as Religious Studies and Philosophy. These subjects have always been a passion of mine and I love teaching others, helping them to understand and appreciate different texts, books, and theories. I also help with personal statements and love to help students through the university application process as I know how daunting it can be. Sometimes all it takes is another pair of eyes to have a look! I gained A levels in English language, Textiles, and Philosophy and Ethics before studying at the University of Leeds and graduated in 2020 with a 2.1 BA and industrial year in fashion design (bit of a change I know!). When the pandemic hit I had to rethink things and found myself wanting to help people instead, which inevitably turned into tutoring, as well as working as a community carer with children and adults with SEN. I am experienced in a range of needs and can accommodate accordingly. Tutoring English, RE and Philosophy for the past 3 years has been a dream come true. I've worked with so many lovely students and really felt like I've changed their outlook on the subjects. I love seeing their confidence soar and their faces light up when something suddenly clicks. I like to keep my lessons fun and engaging and make you feel like this is not just extra work because it can be fun trust me! No matter your struggles, I'd love to see where I can help.

At present in my early 50s. I began teaching, in a London tutorial college, straight after coming down from Oxford. A few years after that, I interrupted my teaching career to return to university to pursue doctoral research, but I continued to see a small number of private students throughout my time as a post-graduate student. Accordingly, I have somewhere in the region of thirty years’ experience of helping students to realise their potential and, quite often, to exceed their expectations of themselves. My original specialisms were English Language and Literature, and these remain subjects I enjoy teaching immensely, but I have equal experience by now in History of Art, Philosophy, Film Studies, and Religious Studies, each of which I have taught to A level students and undergraduates. I also specialise in Pre-U English. The following is a quotation from the reference supplied by the school from which I resigned last year, after twenty years as Head of English and de facto Head of Humanities, in order to focus on private tuition: ‘Bill’s main virtues as a teacher […] are his infectious enthusiasm for his subjects, his immense knowledge and erudition, his intimate familiarity with past papers and assessment criteria, his commitment to his pupils, his willingness to make supererogatory efforts on their behalf, his provision of extensive and meticulous course notes, and his generosity with his time.’

Teaching Experience & Approach I am a private tutor and educational consultant, delivering approximately 35 hours of in-person and online tuition each week. My in-person lessons mainly take place in West London, e.g., Chelsea, Kensington, Holland Park, Acton, and Ealing, and I often take on siblings at different levels and oversee all academic progress; in tandem with that, I carry out regular online tuition to students across the UK, China, Hong Kong, Russia, and Qatar. With over 10 years’ experience in education, I support students ranging from primary school to university and beyond. I offer expert knowledge covering 7+ to 16+ entrance and scholarship exams and interview prep, and my students have won places at Harrow, Winchester, the City of London, Latymer Upper, Dulwich Prep and Dulwich College, Francis Holland, Merchant Taylors’, Bolton School, and Perse School. I proficiently deliver all core subjects up to Key Stage 2, and while I specialise in English, I also tutor Art History and Philosophy in preparation for GCSE, A-Level and the IB exams. With experience at all academic levels, I maintain strong ties with my clients, seeing many through the entirety of the school system. For over a year, I have been tutoring English and Maths at Key Stages 1 and 2 and A-Level English, Art History, and university admissions whilst working with three children in one family. Moreover, I monitor the children’s academic progress, liaising with schoolteachers and other tutors to ensure they receive the best support in preparation for school and university applications. I enjoy giving a push to my students and firmly believe that every child has the potential to succeed. One of my success stories comes from a primary school student who considered English his archenemy. After a few months of weekly online tutorials during the pandemic, my student published his first compilation of poetry. He expanded the project further by dedicating the proceeds to a charity that aided families affected during the lockdown. During that time, I acted as his editor and prepared him for numerous interviews held by renowned media organisations, including the BBC and ITV, which invited him to their radio programmes. With the continuation of English lessons, my student also won a full scholarship, securing entry into his first choice of school. At all academic levels, I home in on critical thinking and writing skills and encourage students to explore their own narratives. Having first read English and subsequently Comparative Literature, I seamlessly transfer an extensive knowledge of textual information and literary theory over to the secondary school and degree-level tuition. Most of my students notice a huge difference after a session or two in their ability and confidence to discuss topics within the classroom cohort and the way they perceive a piece of text. Due to the nature of my voluntary work and previous teaching roles at schools, I have been through extensive child safety training programmes, and my DBS is updated each year. As an active tutor over the past decade, I have engaged with students diagnosed with autism and dyslexia who required specific teaching methods suitable to their learning. I regularly revise and refine my knowledge on how to assist special needs students and have been able to successfully help previous tutees improve their grades in a short period of time. Throughout my academic experience, I have been extremely fortunate to meet educators who cared for my learning as much as my parents. Their guidance and pastoral support have had significant effects on my motivation while growing up and even after I took tutoring as a professional career. Owing to their contribution, I value the importance of quality education and the impact it makes at any level. Therefore, I endeavour to mirror their inspiration while working with my students. . Background I graduated as the top student of my year studying BA English Language and Literature at Near East University, then matriculated at the prestigious King’s College London to study for MA Comparative Literature. Stream of consciousness narratives, nonlinearity, and oral literature as a form of resistance circulate within my research interests, and I am often drawn to themes of mental imprisonment, identity, and displacement. I enjoy exploring literary pieces enmeshed with philosophy and have always been most interested in the works of Virginia Woolf, Nietzsche, Kafka, Samuel Beckett, and Adorno. Whilst working as a private tutor over the past decade, I held teaching roles and acted as an educational consultant at private schools in Cyprus, covering English Language and Literature and World History at GCSE and A-Level and IELTS and university admissions at Sixth Form. I convened book clubs and drama groups to enrich the extracurricular activities offered to students. In addition, I volunteered with the women’s organisation KAYAD, helping teenagers and adults take their first steps into the English language. Having taken translation studies at the postgraduate level, I participated in government-funded cultural projects as a translator, editor, and community interpreter. I assisted in the running of seminars on domestic violence in collaboration with the former first lady of Northern Cyprus and acclaimed international speakers, mediating cross-lingual communication. Recently, I embarked on a new project of translating the biography and memoirs of the Turkish Cypriot artist Ismet Vehit Guney, who designed the modern Cypriot flag. Since my teenage years, I have enjoyed acrylic painting and art history and took part in art exhibitions. I write poetry, and my work has been published in literary magazines. During holidays, I frequent the hotspots of the Caribbean and Balearics and spend my free time exercising or listening to jazz. . Testimonials “Hazal had an excellent relationship with our daughter since day 1. She has made English enjoyable and interesting for our daughter who has a very short attention span. We are very pleased to be working with her and feel confident that we are well-prepared for the 11+ exams.” ~ Parent of 11 Plus student, London Consortium candidate) “Hazal has worked as a tutor for the family for the last 6 months and we have noticed real progress with both girls since she started. We contacted Hazal to focus on English and 11+ preparation for a 9-year-old girl attending Garden House school in Chelsea. As English is not her first language, she needed lots of support with extending her vocabulary, improving her spelling, comprehension and creative writing. From the first lesson, they had a great bond. Hazal is warm, funny but also firm when she needs to be, this means that Michelle is always keen to go to her lessons and spend time with her. Michelle has made great progress since they started working together at the beginning of the year. Hazal is always encouraging, and her teaching style motivates Michelle to try her best and work hard. They have been working with a variety of materials to help Michelle improve in all aspects of her English and also start working towards her 11+ exams. Hazal always provides a detailed progress report at the end of each month to show which areas they have focused on and what progress has been made Hazal has also started to work with Michelle’s elder sister in preparation for her English Literature A-Level exams. She has helped her a great deal and she is also very happy with her work. She has helped her build her confidence in an area in which she was previously struggling, and they will continue to work together until her final exams.” ~ Parent of two girls, 11 Plus and A-Level “We contacted Hazal in preparation for 11+ English, Reasoning, and interview prep. Hazal did a great job in preparing our daughter for the exam. She was friendly, professional and exposed Alicia to a variety of exam-style questions in preparation for the exam. Furthermore, our daughter has become more confident whilst working with Hazal and secured offers from Godolphin, North London Collegiate, Putney High, City of London, and Francis Holland. We are very pleased!” ~ Parent of 11 Plus student, secured offers from Godolphin, North London Collegiate, Putney High, City of London, and Francis Holland) “Hazal taught my son English and Verbal Reasoning. She is a committed tutor who taught enthusiastically and in a manner that maintained my son’s interest. She was always so generous with her time and built a lovely relationship with my son, which ensured he really enjoyed the lessons. My son has secured places at Merchant Taylors’ and Mill Hill.” ~ Parent of 11 Plus student, secured offers from Merchant Taylor’s and Mill Hill “Hazal is a great tutor! She is knowledgeable and well prepared; I highly recommend her. Only after 3 lessons my sons test results improved at school, and she is helping with the ISEB 11 + preparation and Latymer School Admissions” ~ Parent of 11 Plus student “I have reached out to Hazal to get help prior to my son’s 11+ exams. Our first choice is Westminster, and we were looking for someone to help our son improve his inference and descriptive writing skills. Hazal has been able to offer a wealth of resources – despite the fact that we have exhausted anything that was available online and in print. Hazal has been incredible at teaching inference and writing skills to our son and we have been very happy with his progress. We highly recommend her as an 11+ tutor.” ~ Parent of 11 Plus student, secured place at Westminster School “Hazal has been a phenomenal teacher and offered me incredible support throughout my English Literature AS course. Not only has her sophisticated arguments and critical perspectives helped me better understand and evaluate the texts we were studying but at the same time, the eloquence of her speech and concision of her ideas has helped elevate my writing as a whole. What Hazal has taught me goes beyond understanding and analysing the set texts, she has provided me with the skills to formulate my own arguments and to scrutinise the meaning behind different literary pieces. It is truly a pleasure to attend her lessons in which we engage in thoughtful discussions over the text and practice writing techniques.” ~ English Literature A-Level Student “I have been working with Hazal for just over 2 months and I’ve already noticed a huge difference in my writing and ability to discuss literature; she is very patient and encourages me to share all of my ideas. We go over the material that will help me in exams, but she also gives tips that improve my performance in class. In that sense, I find our lessons incredibly helpful to build confidence. Hazal is very passionate about literature and committed to delivering quality education. She is well-informed about the syllabus, and I always look forward to our lessons! Overall, Hazal is truly such a good teacher and a very kind person, which is more than I could have hoped for.” ~ English Language and Literature International Baccalaureate Student “Hazal has been an incredible help over the past two years! I first consulted her to seek help with a philosophy paper I was to write on the theory of the sublime. Having attained the highest mark in our cohort after having a couple of sessions with Hazal, I decided to work with her during my third year. She has been a great help while I was writing my dissertation – not only in terms of teaching English and guiding my writing but also by providing a wealth of knowledge in postcolonial theory and phenomenology, which has enriched my third-year papers. I cannot recommend her highly enough!” ~ Architecture BA Student

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.

I’m an experienced teacher and creative writing tutor with a first class degree in Philosophy and Modern Languages from University College London, including one year of study at Université de Paris-Sorbonne. I have five years of teaching experience with individuals, school groups, arts organisations and community groups. I’ve taught English Literature and creative writing with a wide range of organisations, including The Barbican Centre, The Poetry School and The Midnight Run. My specialities are English Literature, English Language and Philosophy. My students have ranged from 11 to 80 years of age, and I have substantial experience working with students for whom English is not their first language. My lessons use creative, engaging techniques tailored to the needs and goals of each student, to help them unlock their true potential. I combine a passion for the subjects with a rigorous focus on exam strategy and study techniques. My goal is to improve grades, and give students both the tools and the drive for long term success. I’m dedicated to fostering a safe, enjoyable learning environment, where we work to identify areas for improvement and map out strategies to maximise . I believe an approach grounded in kindness, patience, and fun is key to helping students with areas of difficulty, reluctance or stress. Overall, I am focused on helping students believe in their own potential and giving them the support they need to meet it. As a recipient of both an academic scholarship and an arts scholarship to my secondary school, I know how life-changing exam success can be. I’m committed to helping students secure those transformative opportunities. I’m also a prize-winning writer, poet and author, with multiple national awards for creative writing. Those include a London Writers Award 2021, the Poetry London Prize 2020 and the Verve Poetry Festival Prize 2020. I’m represented by Harriet Moore of David Higham Literary Agency. This work has redoubled my passion for teaching literature, and I have honed my skills through my years of freelance teaching. I offer high-quality, individually-tailored creative writing lessons. These can optionally be combined with qualification-focused teaching to engage students with English Literature and English Language, and help give them a practical understanding of the nuts and bolts of writing that they can then apply to their school work.

I am an art historian who loves teaching people of all ages and abilities. I have worked as a researcher and educator in international art galleries in Mayfair and Zurich, and have taught BA students at the University of Zurich. Currently based in London, I am working towards my PhD in History of Art at the University of Zurich and KU Linz, where I have also taught. As well as expertise is in Asian and Western art since 1960, I have a very broad and robust knowledge of all periods of History of Art as taught in the United Kingdom. For A Level students, I am familiar with the AQA syllabus and find it an excellent teaching guide. For university students, I am happy to work with the course outlines and reading lists provided by the individual institution. I am also familiar with Cambridge Pre-U. Before I start teaching, I like to speak with the student and their family to establish the current level, identify any gaps and jointly create the learning objectives, from which I develop a study programme. I am happy to teach a course from beginning to end, or to jump in to cover any gaps or develop greater aptitude in certain areas, as required. In History of Art, I teach A Level, BA and MA students, as well as adults who would like to develop their interest in art. I also guide museum and gallery visits, which I find are an excellent way to facilitate learning. Because my academic work inherently relies on reading and writing, while my research encompasses English Literature, I also teach English Language and Literature up to A Level. I also help younger children with reading, writing, comprehension and spelling. Please drop me a message! Many thanks, Louise

I am a fourth-year PhD student in the English and Comparative Literature department at King’s College London. I have been a teacher in this department for the past couple of years, giving me extensive experience lecturing and delivering seminar-style teaching to undergraduate and postgraduate students. I have been marking essays and examinations, offering students advice on improving the strength of their argument, critical reading and analysis, and structural features. I have taught English as a foreign language to non-native speakers abroad in Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. This has given me valuable skills to increase conversational skills, vocabulary range, and correct grammar, diction, and sentence construction in students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. I have volunteered in primary and secondary schools as a tutor, helping students with special needs and learning difficulties struggling with English. I specialise in improving the written communication and critical thinking skills of GCSE and A-Level students in various arts and humanities subjects: philosophy, history, ancient history, politics, and, particularly, English Language and Literature. I am well versed in the set texts, syllabuses, and assessed content of several examination boards: Edexcel, AQA, International Baccalaureate, Cambridge IGCSE, WJEC, and Scottish Highers. I have also helped students prepare for Oxford interviews and admissions tests, sit the GAMSAT and BMAT medical entrance exams, and pass the IELTS English proficiency exams. I am a naturally patient and open-minded teacher who ensures each lesson is tailor-made to suit each student’s personal needs and learning motivations. I have high standards in the hard work and respect I expect from my students. I am motivated by my students' progress and am willing to adapt and improve my teaching strategies to help students achieve the academic success they deserve.

However, I also offer bespoke Oxbridge interview tuition for those wishing to read a Humanities subject.

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.

Find a Philosophy tutor near me...

Struggling to get to grips with your A Level Ethics class? Or need help writing your first Philosophy essay at uni? Our private Philosophy tutors are ready to help you with any and every query you might have about your Philosophy syllabus. You'll be able to learn online from anywhere in the UK (or the world for that matter) and have access to top tuition wherever you're based.

How do I do well in Philosophy?

Whether you're taking GCSE Philosophy, A Level Philosophy or a degree in the subject, it's crucial you understand the content and are able to form your own opinions and arguments. In your Philosophy exams and essays, you need to be able to analyse and evaluate the information and case studies which you learn about in class. The best way to improve your evaluation and analytical skills is by debating and discussing the topics with your classmates, teachers and family.

Is Philosophy a hard subject?

Philosophy can seem like a mind boggling subject and many people think it's pretty daunting. But in reality, it's not that hard. Philosophy is about discussing ideas, concepts and the world and people around you, which is something we do in our everyday lives. It's a fascinating subject which will set you up really well for other humanities subjects and you'll become more confident debating issues and voicing your opinions.

Learn with a top Philosophy private teacher

Studying Philosophy means studying the general and fundamental questions about human life, including those about existence, knowledge, values, reason, and ethics. Such questions are often posed as problems to be studied or resolved. It's a perfect course for those who are curious about the world around them, the people that populate it and their relationship to each other. 

 

Philosophy teaches students to be critical thinkers, able to closely analyse texts and philosophical theories and communicate their ideas fluently. Philosophy also often includes the study of Ethics, which is often referred to as Moral Philosophy, and involves analysing and evaluating what constitutes right and wrong behaviour. 

 

It’s a subject that can be studied as part of your GCSEs, International Baccalaureate, AS & A2 Levels and Pre-University. It’s an extremely popular course for University too, and can often be studied as a dual honours course with Politics, Religious Studies or even Law. 

 

With personalised help from a Tutor House Philosophy tutor, you can improve your philosophical knowledge and get the best results possible at all stages of your education.
