-Our lessons- We will set our goals as soon as we begin working together, identifying what you want to get out of our sessions and making a plan to work toward this. Once we know what outcome we are aiming for, we will use a wide variety of techniques to bring your goals to life. In particular, we will draw on real life texts and case studies to make sure that your understanding is as well rounded as possible. If you are aiming towards taking a certain exam, we will also draw heavily on past paper questions and example answers, which we will assess together to identify their strengths and weaknesses and to understand how you can progress. In business or general contexts, we will work together to ensure we build the specific skills you are looking for. In general, I will ask you to complete a couple of short exercises in between sessions. We will then discuss these together to understand our next steps. -My background- I am currently working towards my Master's degree in Communication Strategies, having previously achieved a first class BA (Hons) in English and Drama from Queen Mary University London. I was also selected to present my thesis research at the National Conference for Undergraduate Research. During my studies, I supported students with essay writing, study skills and proof reading, further developing my tutoring skills. Following my degree, I worked at a boarding school in Oxford where I worked with international students from around the world to help them to get the most from their studies and to build their English language skills.

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.

Education is the liberating force of this world - I have used this to show my student what a great and wonderful world we live in. I see myself as professional with a diligent attitude towards work; I am also self motivated with strong interpersonal skills. I have highly developed skills in research and planning, along with this I am team player who is goal oriented. I seek to foster an environment in which my students perform at the highest. As a teacher of the humanities specializing in History, Geography and Social Studies/Sociology, my students benefit from being engaged in well rounded teaching and learning experience. This makes the classroom exciting and full of adventure, through the facilitation of critical and creative thought in my students. During my years in the classroom I have been engaged in continuous training and development both personally and professionally, these opportunities enhances my skill set tremendously.
I have taught History and Geography for over three years across schools in England. I'm currently Head of Year at an Outstanding School in London and have experience as Head of History in a previous school. I have a vast knowledge of the GCSE syllabus and a strong record of supporting students to make rapid progress in History and Geography.
Having achieved a First Class Degree in History from the Queen's University Belfast, I have mastered skills in History to a high level, and hope to pass these on to pass this on to the pupils that I tutor.
All my tuition is based on highly research-led practice, and a cirriculum that has been rigourously tested to ensure teaching is of the highest standard and assessment is accurate.

I am a final year History student at Bristol. I have lots of experience working in primary school as well as someone to one tuition. I am confident, enthusiastic and really enjoy teaching looking to become a teacher after I graduate.
I usually teach for around an hour typically to primary school age but I am looking to teach some older years as well. I like to keep the lesson interactive not focusing on the same exercise for too long. I find primary school-age children struggle to focus on the same thing for a long time. However, what I like about tutoring one-to-one or in small groups is that it gives you a lot of space to be flexible depending on who I am teaching.

She has been Head of History in two schools. In others, she has had considerable responsibilities but has also worked as part of a team. She is an experienced examiner, having worked for OCR, EDEXCEL, the IBO, and having marked GCSE, AS and A level, often as a Team Leader of a group of examiners.
She has extremely wide-ranging historical knowledge of current courses, especially of, but not restricted to, Modern History, such as Germany, the USA in the 19th and 20th centuries, Medicine through time, Russia/USSR and Italy. She has the ability to pass her great enthusiasm for History to classes and individuals, having seen former students go on to a History degree, History Masters and History Ph. D.

I completed my PGCE in History Secondary teaching at the institute of Education in 2004 and since then have worked in a range of state and private schools, as well as tutoring all ages from primary to A Level. I currently teach History and Politics at at top London school. In addition I am an examiner for GCSE, IGCSE and A Level with Edexcel and OCR. As an experienced teacher and tutor, I recognise that all students approach the subject in different ways and have different strengths and areas for improvement. I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement however this must be combined with academic rigour. My work as a GCSE and A Level examiner gives me a valuable insight into what it is that examiners are looking for and I will use this to bring out the best in my students but at the same time help them be as prepared as they can be for public examinations. I am patient and enthusiastic - I love my subjects - and I aim to instil this enthusiasm in my students.
As an educator with a passion for history, citizenship, and politics, I have dedicated my career to fostering a deep understanding of these subjects. My diverse experience includes roles as an examiner, second-in-department, and private tutor.
