Hi there,
My name is Christian. Iāve recently finished my MA in Comparative Literary Studies, specialising in American literature, Theory and Culture at Goldsmiths University, and am looking to pursue a career in education. Iām passionate about making the humanities engaging and enjoyable, which I feel is something easily achievable through patience, creativity and strong relationships between a student and teacher. Where I thrive is when i'm helping to make literature, philosophy, critical theory, as well as the many tenants of writing effective essays understandable and accessible to a range of students from varying backgrounds and educational requirements.
Before my MA program, I completed my BA in English and American Literature at Goldsmiths University London in 2018. While my studies have mainly centred on American literature so far, the flexible nature of my program has enabled me to study a wide breadth of literature as well texts of a different medium from a multitude of cultures and periods. While providing me with a firm grasp of the major cultural, artistic and literary movements, my studies have greatly developed my analytic abilities across a range of different systems of thought. Teaching me to effectively; distil complex information into an accessible format, develop lines of critical reasoning, and construct compelling arguments from independent research. These abilities, when paired with open and clear channels of communication, prove invaluable as a teacher, allowing me to lead students through studies which might initially seem challenging and complicated, to a comprehensive understanding of the subject at hand. In regards to my particular areas of specialism, I have an in-depth understanding of contemporary American fiction and continental philosophy, having written both my undergraduate and graduate thesisā on the intersections of the two. And concerning my past academic performance, I was awarded an upper second class honours for my undergraduate degree and have recently received a high level merit for my MA program.
I've tutored many students one to one over the past year in subjects ranging from English literature and Language to general essay writing, and I'd love to build upon my experience to teach those at a variety of different levels. Counterpart to this, I'm a versatile and effective proof reader, having successfully helped my students draft and edit countless essays.
To paint a bit more of a picture about myself; in my free time I organise a series of philosophy reading groups, write creatively, do lots of reading for both research and pleasure, and cycle more than I maybe should.

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
āThe 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.ā
Andreas (A-Level Politics student)
āMaxim 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.ā
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.

Iām 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 UniversitĆ© de Paris-Sorbonne.
I have five years of teaching experience with individuals, school groups, arts organisations and community groups. Iāve 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. Iām 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. Iām committed to helping students secure those transformative opportunities.
Iām 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. Iām 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 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 am a PhD graduate from the English and Comparative Literature department at Kingās College London, with several years of teaching experience in the department. I have extensive experience lecturing and leading seminar-style teaching for undergraduate and postgraduate students. I have designed and delivered original curriculums and online learning courses, downloaded by hundreds of learners worldwide. I regularly assess essays and examinations, providing detailed feedback on argument strength, critical analysis, and structural coherence to help students refine their academic writing.
My primary role is as a grant innovation consultant, helping tech start-ups, small businesses, and research institutions secure funding for their projects. I have experience writing and editing a wide range of grant applications, from early-stage innovation funding to large-scale research grants. I also assist in crafting compelling proposals for PhD research, postdoctoral fellowships, and academic research projects across various disciplines. My expertise lies in aligning project goals with funder requirements, showcasing innovation and impact, and guiding clients through the often complex funding landscape to maximize their chances of success.
I have taught English as a foreign language to non-native speakers across Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam, helping students build conversational skills, expand their vocabulary, and improve grammar accuracy and sentence construction. I have also volunteered in primary and secondary schools as a tutor, supporting students with special needs and learning difficulties who struggle with English.
I specialise in improving the written communication and critical thinking skills of GCSE and A-Level students in arts and humanities subjects: philosophy, history, ancient history, politics, and especially English Language and Literature. I am well-versed in the texts, syllabuses, and assessed content of major examination boards, including Edexcel, AQA, International Baccalaureate, Cambridge IGCSE, WJEC, and Scottish Highers. I have also helped students prepare for Oxford interviews, admissions tests, GAMSAT, BMAT, and IELTS English proficiency exams.
I am a naturally patient and adaptable teacher, committed to tailoring each lesson to suit individual needs and learning motivations. I set high standards for student effort and respect, with a strong focus on fostering progress and academic success through thoughtful, responsive teaching strategies.

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.

Hi! My name is Mika, and I am a professional tutor & education consultant. I am a graduate of Oxford University & the Sorbonne University in French and Philosophy with Highly Commended Awards won in the Oriel College Lloyd Davies Philosophy Prize and the Oxford University French Film Competition.
I worked as supplementary tutor for the Ethics and Modernist Literature classes at the Exeter College (Oxford) International Summer School 2022.
I worked as a tutor specialising in the Oxbridge undergraduate admissions process, and successfully tutored students through the admissions process for Oriental Studies (Mandarin), MFL (French and Spanish), and English from 2019 - 2021.
From 2020 - 2022, I worked as an EFL tutor for international students aged 4-10. I provided tutoring to GCSE French & Spanish students as an A level student from 2016 - 2018, and worked as a Teaching Assistant on a six-month part-time placement in 2017. I was also trained as a Peer Supporter for the Exeter College, Oxford undergraduate community and fulfilled the role from 2019 - 2021.
I am keenly aware of the fact that each individual student has different educational needs in order to thrive academically, and I am committed to creating an encouraging and engaging environment for them to do so. I have a 'no stupid questions' policy - young people in education should feel encouraged to experiment and find their strengths and weaknesses without feeling limited, which in turn opens the door to significant improvement in their work. I encourage students to develop an effective and healthy ability to self-evaluate, and to develop the tools to improve.
I am also sensitive to the effects of neurodivergence and mental health issues on studentsā educational needs, and I am very happy to tailor my tutoring to this to ensure that they get the most out of their tutoring.

Hello, I am an Economics Tutor and qualified teacher, who graduated from Oxford University where I studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics. I have taught A-Level and IB Economics, A Level Politics and A Level Business Studies since 2003. I have been the Head of Economics and Politics at 2 leading independent schools for 8 years. I have been teaching online since 2013. I have taught the whole syllabus for all 3 of my subjects and focus a lot on improving my pupils' exam technique. I have marked exam papers for the EDEXCEL board. I explain complex economic ideas in simple terms and cut through jargon to ensure that the subject is not made overly complicated. I try to make my classes interesting and relevant by relating them to real world events. This is so that my pupils develop their own interest in the subject. I have written my own course notes and can make these available to my tutees. My lessons are very interactive and my students are required to participate throughout the lessons to improve their ability to explain and test their thinking and to improve the quality of their exam answers. The focus of my lessons is to help improve my students' grades as quickly as possible by training them to follow very specific exam techniques. My focus is very much on helping my students to improve their exam grades. For Economics I have experience in teaching the EDEXCEL, OCR, Eduqas (formerly the Welsh Board) and AQA syllabuses both at AS-Level and A-Level. I also teach Politics, Law, Business Studies and Maths. I can also provide help with UCAS form personal statements and preparation for university (Oxbridge) interviews. I teach in London and online. Please do contact me if you would like my help or if you want more information. Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

I very much enjoy helping students with their university applications, essays, research proposals, dissertations, and doctoral theses. I teach students at all levels ā from undergraduate to postgraduate. I have 10 years of successful university experience in teaching sociology, cultural studies, and criminology to undergraduate students. I hold an ESRC-funded PhD in Sociology, which was awarded with no corrections. Prior to this, I obtained a Masters in Sociology with a distinction and the highest grades overall in my cohort, and I gained a first-class degree in Psychology, along with the award of the British Psychological Society Undergraduate Prize for the highest grade in the year group.
I also pride myself in helping students to develop both their writing skills and their critical thinking. Although, I was not always a ānaturalā writer, writing, as with any other skill, can be learned, as my academic achievements and the excellent results of the students I have taught demonstrate. The same applies to critical thinking, which I consider the ability to de-familiarise the familiar and think about the taken-for-granted features of everyday life as if they were something extraordinary. In my experience, theory and complex conceptual issues can be intimidating and difficult to grasp for the majority of people (they were for me, too!). Yet, I have learned that once theory is explained with the help of simple and concrete examples, it can become much more accessible, and therefore be understood and learned.
I am very passionate about the subjects I teach. Studying Sociology, Cultural Studies, or Criminology can allow you to look at the world in a very different way and ultimately change you into a person able to express your potential. After many years of research and teaching, I am still very passionate about the subjects I teach ā an enthusiasm I love to convey to students with my approachable and tailored lessons.
PS Please contact me before booking a lesson so that we can arrange a time that suits both of us. Please also note that I do not offer free/trial lessons.

Is Philosophy a hard degree?
Despite having minimal contact hours and time spent in lectures and seminars, Philosophy is actually a pretty hard degree. It requires a huge amount of independent study and thought, with students having to read complex texts by philosophers like Kant, Foucault and Sartre. A Philosophy degree will also mean a lot of analysing texts, discussing ideas and developing your own written arguments in a cogent and clear way.
What can I do with a Philosophy degree?
Having a degree in Philosophy opens doors to plenty of careers and doesn't limit your options when it comes to applying for jobs. Philosophy graduates might consider careers in which they can use their debating and discussion skills, such as communications, PR or management. A Philosophy degree would also be really useful if you're considering a career in the civil service, advertising, publishing, research or tv production. A degree in Philosophy is highly regarded by employers as it shows you're a strong communicator and are able to research, dissect and analyse information.
Is a Philosophy degree worth it?
Lots of students wonder whether it's worth studying for a degree in Philosophy, particularly as you're often studying texts and authors who are no longer alive and some ideas which don't hold much cultural value or weight anymore. However, a Philosophy degree teaches you to think critically and curiously about the world around you. Many of the ideas expounded on by famous philosophers are still relevant to the world we live in today and have formed the basis of many political ideologies, systems of governance and ways of life.

If you're starting to apply for University, you might be wondering āwhy should I study Philosophyā? Studying for a degree in Philosophy means exploring the big questions of life in theoretical, practical, logical, and historical contexts. Philosophy is an ancient subject, dating back to the Ancient Greeks, and so you'll be joining a long history of those who have studied it and considered its abstract questions for millennia.
What can I study with Philosophy? Many people complete a joint honours course when studying Philosophy, for example PPE, Philosophy & Psychology or Philosophy with a language.
What jobs can I get with a Philosophy degree? Philosophy graduates go into a wide range of careers; the critical thinking skills learnt on your course are highly attractive to many employers. You might consider a job in government, law, psychology or the arts amongst many other pathways.
