Daniel Phillips - Tutor in London

Daniel Phillips
Ancient History Tutor, Teacher, Instructor
London, England
Tutor Profile I am a professional violinist, violist and conductor, studying for a PhD in Music at the University of Cambridge. As a Supervisor in the Faculty of Music, I teach undergraduate music students at Cambridge. I also teach conducting, violin, viola, and chamber music at the Saffron Walden Centre for Young Musicians in Essex. With over nine years of tutoring experience, I also offer private tuition in violin, viola, orchestral conducting, music, music theory, philosophy, history, essay and dissertation skills, english literature, classical civilisation and violin performance. From the age of 17, I have taught violin and viola to a variety of students, ranging from children and adults beginning their studies, to more advanced performers looking to improve their technical facility and performance skills. Alongside my MPhil studies at Cambridge, in which I specialised in the cultural history and musical aesthetics of Germany and France in the Long Nineteenth Century, I began working as a freelance academic tutor, and taught Music, History, Philosophy, English Literature, Dissertation Skills, and Classics to A-Level Students. I have since developed two years’ experience, in which I have taught over 900+ hours of educational content with a diversity of tutoring organisations and online education platforms. I also have experience teaching in a classroom setting. I worked as an Assistant Music Teacher at a Sixth Form College, which involved teaching Music A-Level students. I have also worked with academic summer schools in Oxford to prepare Oxbridge hopefuls for their entrance examinations. My academic expertise is strongest in the fields of the history of philosophy, the philosophy of music, and nineteenth-century music history. I am comfortable teaching both Violin and Viola, as well as Music, History, Philosophy and Writing Skills to final-year undergraduates. I also teach Classics and English Literature to a first-year undergraduate level, and I have intermediate reading skills in French. Additional Professional Credentials – Violinist and Recording Musician – I have an extensive portfolio of performing credits on documentary films. Recent highlights include the BAFTA-nominated score for the BBC docuseries on Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein 'House of Maxwell' (BBC2, 2022), and 'Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In' (Netflix) (Passion Pictures / Universal Pictures) (2021). Approach to Teaching – I favour a structured approach to teaching. I devise lesson plans in advance of every lesson, catered to the student's specific needs. I also inform the design of my classes through a constructive dialogue with my students. This enables me to structure my lessons within a curriculum that meets my students' specific educational needs, and serves to enable my students to achieve tangible improvements in their academic performance and musical ability. Academic Tuition – My academic lessons tend to be structured around specific sections of the syllabus, or particular topics that students require help with. – I employ a seminar style format, in which I flesh out ideas with the aid of quotations, other audio-visual resources, and analytical commentary which my students can use to develop essays, essay plans, revision tools, and exam revision packs. – I use Powerpoint to provide students with a variety of resources and visual stimuli. – I structure my lesson plans with a view to providing short points of rest or temporary closure, in which students are able to ask questions about the content. I am also happy for students to interrupt the flow of the lesson if a burning question arises. Musical Performance – Violin lessons tend to be carefully planned to focus on specific technical aspects of performance. To train musicality, I often teach this through the use of Kreutzer and Fiorillo etudes, Dont studies, and also pieces of repertoire catered to the student's musical interests and technical requirements. – I am open to considering student repertoire suggestions if they are particularly passionate about a certain piece. Lesson Structure – Academic lessons tend to be 45–60 minutes in length, but I can adapt my teaching schedule to provide students with additional support if needed. – Typically violin lessons range in length from 30 minutes to an hour, but I am flexible: I am more than happy to devise a lesson structure that caters for a student's requirements. Curriculum Areas of Historical Expertise 1. Europe in The Long Nineteenth Century – The Music, Politics and Culture of France and Germany in The Long Nineteenth Century (1776–1914) 2. Medieval and Early Modern History – The Political, Economic and Military History of Anglo-Saxon England 827–1066 – The Norman Conquest and The Plantagenets 1066–1216 – Tudor History (1509–1603), The Stuarts (1603–1649), The English Civil War (1642–1649), The Commonwealth (1649–1659), and The Restoration of Charles II (1660–1685) – The Crusades (1095–1204) 3.

Sasha G.
Ancient History Tutor, Teacher
Petersfield, England
profile / Sasha G.
Hi, I'm Sasha! I've been teaching Classics (Latin, Greek, Classical Civilisation, Ancient History) for 6 years. I've taught ages 11-18 at school, and have been tutoring since I left school in 2015. I really care about helping others understand what can be a difficult and complex set of subjects, mostly because I know the joy and satisfaction of getting to grips with them. Whether you're starting out from scratch, getting back into it, or preparing for an exam, I can help you improve your understanding and accuracy of the languages and culture of the ancient world. I am currently tutoring online outside of school time, but have more availability in school holidays. I am happy to recommend textbooks and other resources, but will not require you to buy anything extra. Please feel free to get in contact, as I am always looking to take on new clients.

Sarah N.
Ancient History Tutor, Teacher
Winchester, England
profile / Sarah N.
I moved to the UK from the USA after completing a Masters degree and www.*** in Classical Philology at Harvard University. My first teaching jobs in the UK were at Winchester College and Westminster School, where I taught GCSE and A-level classes in Greek and Latin. I have published numerous articles and books on Greek literature while working as a lecturer at the University of Bristol (2007-2011) and Corpus Christi College, Oxford (2011-2016). After the birth of my third child, I stopped lecturing and took a job locally as teacher of Greek and Latin at Pilgrims' Prep School in Winchester. At the University of Bristol, I taught undergraduates and post graduates, many of whom were Adult learners. The diversity of my work experience has allowed me to teach from many different textbooks for beginners and intermediates and all of the popular text prescriptions for exams. I also offer support for university applications to UK and USA universities. I give alumni interviews for Harvard applicants in the Winchester area. I am very skilled in online instruction, but I don't have a Facebook page or personal website. For my publications and academic work, I use my birth name (Hitch), many of which can be found on Google or Amazon.

Emily P. - Tutor in Runcorn

Emily P.
Ancient History Tutor, Teacher
Runcorn, England
profile / Emily P.
I am a full-time educator with over six years of experience. I am an English Literature graduate (BA) of the University of Aberystwyth where I especially enjoyed papers in Anglo-Saxon, Medieval, female empowerment and Viking Sagas. Following on from University I gained my PGCE with the University of Chester via the School Direct programme, beating 200 other applicants for one of the 20 places available. I was exposed to the latest in education theory and pedagogical techniques during the revamp of the National Curriculum. I then completed the prestigious MRes with Swansea University in the highly acclaimed Medieval Literature department. As Head of History in my role, over the years I have worked relentlessly and have created the perfect programme for scoring top marks in GCSE and A-Level History! My programme taps into neurological stimuli to help revise and apply a practical understanding of content and essay writing. Additionally, I have also put together a revision programme to help ensure revision actually pays off and gets you the highest marks! Suitable for all exam boards and all learning requirements. Tutoring Experience I have significant experience with LAC and PLAC children, those with learning difficulties and mental health issues. This has enabled me to tailor teaching and learning to suit the individual and quickly spot the root cause of their issue. I am a member of The Tutoring Association which strives to make tutoring a monitored and professional industry. This means I continually embark on CPD in terms of teaching methodology as well as marking courses with a variety of exam boards and constantly reflect on my own teaching to improve. Tutoring Approach Learning should be enjoyable! I strive to make lessons interesting. This means they are automatically beneficial. If a student enjoys lessons, they are more likely to engage fully while also changing their outlook on education as a whole. It is my belief that the most important quality a tutor must possess is an appreciation of the individual requirements, needs and aptitudes of each of their pupils. I will work closely with you and your child to provide the support that suits them individually.

With a decade of teaching experience and the acquisition of an Ancient Cultures degree, I am deeply committed to the exploration of novel educational perspectives and the in-depth examination of pedagogical psychology. My profound love for the pursuit of knowledge, coupled with an insatiable appetite for inquiry and comprehension, serves as the bedrock of my teaching philosophy. My utmost aspiration is to share the wealth of knowledge acquired over my years of academic and professional growth and to infuse my students with an enduring enthusiasm for the subjects at hand. In addition to my pedagogical endeavours, my fervent passions extend to the realms of music, theatre, literature, as well as a profound intrigue for history, culture, and languages.

Grasping Ancient History in the UK

Original documents and artefacts form the basis of ancient history study. Analysing sources like inscriptions, papyri, coins, monumental remains and relics provides direct insight into ancient cultures. Evaluating bias, limitations and context is key. Primary evidence brings textbook knowledge to life. Hands-on analysis develops research skills and historical insight. 

Investigating Key Civilisations

Courses survey the rise and decline of foundational ancient civilisations across the Mediterranean, Mesopotamia and Near East like Egypt, Greece, Rome, Persia, India and China. Comparing their economies, social hierarchies, religions, arts, philosophies and technologies reveals patterns. Assessing their interactions and influence on each other is enlightening. This provides a connected narrative of the ancient world.

Understanding Historical Methodology

Ancient history applies historical methods to construct reliable accounts from fragmentary evidence. Making supported inferences fills gaps in knowledge. Cross-referencing corroborates conclusions. Complex methodology like stratigraphy, epigraphy, numismatics, papyrology, palaeography, prosopography and cytology aid analysis. Grasping these techniques provides a toolkit for interpreting evidence and recreating the past.

Developing Critical Thinking

Studying contrasting historical interpretations exercises critical judgement. Weighing the merits of different perspectives based on reasoned debate sharpens independent thinking. Historicism

critics imposing modern views on the past. Deconstructing biases enhances balanced conclusions. Evaluating evidence requires questioning assumptions, identifying variables and considering context thoroughly. This builds rigorous analytical skills.

Building a Well-Rounded Knowledge Base 

Core courses provide a solid grounding across major ancient civilisations. But pursuing eras or topics of personal interest gives a specialist edge. Complementing ancient history study with archaeology, mythology, philosophy and literature illuminates different facets. Breadth and depth of knowledge leads to fruitful connections between diverse subjects. Well-rounded learning aids historical insight. 

Communicating Ideas Clearly

Essay writing, presentations and debate hone communication abilities. Concisely relating complex information cohesively improves clarity. Building arguments logically from evidence takes practice. Impactful delivery of ideas engages audiences. Peer review exposes stylistic issues. Refining verbal and written expression of historical analysis is an ongoing process. Strong communication makes you persuasive.

Fostering a Lifelong Passion 

The most rewarding aspect of ancient history study is developing a lifelong passion for the classical world. This subject feeds intellectual curiosity beyond graduation. Travelling to historical sites creates living connections. Reading classical literature and philosophy gives a lasting perspective. Current issues gain context through historical parallels. Let the ancients inspire imagination. Keep building knowledge independently.
