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.

Hi there, My name is Christian. I’ve 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. I’m 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 thesis’ 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 “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.

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.

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.’

I am a PhD graduate from the English and Comparative Literature department at King’s 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 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 have been working with young people for over 4 years now and have gained a well rounded portfolio of experience. I have been grateful to receive wonderful feedback from students, parents and colleagues! I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Bristol with a BSc in psychology & philosophy. I worked at a TEFL Language school where I designed a cultural programme for students and was the chief point of contact as a mentor. Additionally, I worked in the SEN department at a London secondary school supporting students with all Key Stages including A Level & IB. I have worked with students who have aspergers, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, sight-impairment and physical disability’s. A few examples of previous tutoring jobs: - Mentored a teenager over an 8 month period. - Tutored full time for the past 3 years as a subject generalist with an emphasis on the arts and humanities subjects. I have taught the core KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4 and KS5 syllabuses. Covering all subjects such as art, philosophy, psychology, history, english literature & language, maths, chemistry, biology, physics. I have also done A level and IB tuition for subjects such as history, philosophy, english, art and psychology. - I have worked full time as a home school tutor teaching the core subjects, arts & humanities for ages 5, 7, 9, 11 & 14. - I homeschooled two brothers from a high profile family and prepared them for the English curriculum (from the American system). I taught english literature & language , R.E, art, politics and current affairs, textiles and took them on educational excursions. They also had to pass school entrance exams 11+, 13+, both successfully. - I homeschooled two sisters ages 7 & 9 and taught all the core subjects as well the arts and humanities. I prepared the youngest for her 7 + exams which she successfully passed. My students have gone on to excel in many subjects but especially creative writing and critical thinking. One student of mine was refusing to write at his previous school but after a year of working together he gained entrance to a top London school and is now currently the top of his class for English and is particularly confident with his creative writing. Another student of mine has gone on to win poetry competitions. My teaching style is engaging, innovative and supportive. I try to instill confidence and academic curiosity in my students, as I believe this is equally important to achieving top marks. * Fun fact about me: I paint professionally and pursue writing when I’m not tutoring. I am now keen to take on more students and would love the opportunity to work with you! Once we have been in touch and established something my response time will be very rapid. However because I am very busy it might initially take a little longer to respond so I'm sorry for that! Should be worth the wait though.

I’ve been an examiner since 2009 and worked for Ofqual as a subject expert for a number of years. My broad experience in life, teaching and examining allows me to quickly identify where students need the most assistance, helping them to build the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed. I strive to be approachable and reassuring in order to create an atmosphere where my students feel comfortable sharing their challenges, and ensuring they know I’m there to help. My specialism is offering subject knowledge enhancement and exam skills including more focused tutoring for those crucial moments like exams, assessments and coursework however I also offer long-term, general tutoring for students who need broader support throughout the school year.

You will receive regular updates on how the student is doing. We will focus on knowledge acquisition, other support and what to do with all this knowledge, i.e. how to write excellent essays or answer questions or whatever your situation requires. Here’s what I can help you with: - Teach you the course and help with essays and exams - Support with questions and emergencies including educational consultancy - Send extra information about the course from an extensive database of resources gathered over the years and that contains enough help to get you an A* on any of the subjects I teach, this includes a collection of essays from over 16 years of teaching to refer to and use - Use of the best technology (AV equipment, Ultrafast wired Broadband, Online Whiteboard and other enhancements) - Produce a report about the student’s progress regularly and advise on further actions I can also help you with: • Course knowledge, comprehension, revision, full teaching or catch-up • Essay advice, structuring, feedback/marking, editing and improving • Exam preparation and success • EPQs • Theory of Knowledge • Extended essay writing • TOK Presentation • UCAS • Career advice, work experience support, interview practice • Undergraduate PHD and essay structure help and edit • Support throughout university • Masters PHD dissertation support • Providing education consulting, SEN advice and support in disputes with school / university • Other needs catered to, just ask! Availability I have been tutoring online since 2016 and it has always proven to be extremely effective. I’m happy to now offer all my classes online which allows you to get the most out of our lessons, I am able to devote the time I would be travelling to and from you to provide a better service. I use the best technology (e.g. up to date HD Audio Visual equipment, ultrafast wired broadband, online whiteboard, screen sharing, a document camera and other enhancements) and I provide an exceptional learning experience that cannot be matched by face to face tuition. I’m available online for your convenience from Monday to Friday and on weekends (during peak times) from 9AM to 9PM. FAQ: Are you a qualified teacher and for how long have you been tutoring? Yes, I’m a fully qualified experienced senior practicing teacher with 16 years experience in teaching, and 12 years experience as a tutor. I’ve been an examiner since 2009 and worked for Ofqual as an assessment expert for a number of years. What exam boards do you work with? I work with all the major exam boards in the UK including AQA, OCR, Edexcel, Eduqas/WJEC, Cambridge Assessment and IB. How to Book? Using the Tutorhouse systems I don’t feel comfortable with studying online. Will it work? I have been working online long before the lockdown, and it has always been proving to be much more efficient than face-to-face tutoring. I have never had any complaints and in fact many clients I work with have switched to online because of the current circumstances for good, and are very happy about it. All that the student will need is a laptop with Internet connection and the rest of their usual studying routine such as notebooks, textbooks, etc. How is online tutoring different from face-to-face tutoring? It’s not very different at all. The only differences actually show advantages of online tutoring. I use whiteboard which I have set up in my working space, so the class resembles the classroom experience quite a lot. I am also able to share my screen which allows me to: - Work on the essays together with the student in real time - Quickly share videos, articles, essays and other studying resources in real time - Use books and textbooks from my home library that I can’t carry to face-to-face meetings And many more. I use a full state-of-the-art equipment set-up for the best online tutoring experience which makes my online lessons much more efficient and informative than classic tutoring. My child has SEN. Can you help? I work a lot with children with SEN and being dyslexic myself, I fully understand the importance of breaking down complex topics into a simple digestible form that everyone will understand. I very often get students who are overwhelmed with the complexity of the course or are completely lost when it comes to exam preparation. I find it incredibly rewarding seeing students finally “getting” the subject and getting a clear understanding what they need to do to get a good mark on their exam. I need help with writing an essay but it’s not Politics, RE or Philosophy, can you still help? Essay structure is pretty much the same regardless of the subject. So whether it’s one of the subjects I teach or any other humanities subject, I have a great track record in helping students to learn how to write the perfect essays. I wrote a book about writing essays with all the tips and tricks you need to know to master this skill.
