Online Philosophy Tutors
I have been a qualified teacher since 2009 and taught in a variety of state and private schools in Kent, London, and Surrey. I graduated from the University of Cambridge with a 2:1 in Theology and Religious Studies and was awarded my MA in 2010.
I have worked as a private music (violin and piano) teacher since I was in the sixth form, and, since qualifying as a teacher , have tutored Philosophy, English Literature, and Religious Studies to a variety of students internationally (online) and in person (locally).
I have a baby daughter so cannot curretly offer tuition at my house but have lots of availability online outside of school hours or in school holiday time.
I have an excellent record of helping students to improve their understanding (and grades) in Philosophy/RS and English, and of seeing students through to Grade 8 on Piano and Violin, with Distinction.
My A Levels (all A grades) are in: English Literature (I also received a commendation from the exam board for attaining one of the top five scores in the country); Music; RS; Media Studies; General Studies.
I am a life Fellow of the Westminster Abbey Institute.
I have Grade VIII Distinction (ABRSM) on Violin and Piano.
I passed the National Professional Qualification for Senior Leaders in 2018.
My tutoring style is responsive to the needs of my student(s) but expect to be stretched and challenged!
Whether teaching you English, Music, or Philosophy, we will (in the words of Plato from the "Meno", "share the inquiry together")
Currently working as a full time English teacher at a private school. My job isn't limited to teaching. My biggest priority, more than anything, is inspiring my students to realise their own potential. In my lessons, you'll learn not only how to pass your exams, you'll also learn how to develop a positive mindset that will help you find success as you go out into the world.

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.

I am currently studying law at the University of Nottingham. I enjoy making sessions fun but at the same time thorough in order to maximise the potential of the student.
Sessions are £30 per hour, 2 Hour session for £45 (rest break halfway if needed).
In our tutoring sessions you as an individual learner will be focused on. Ideally sessions will be student-led, where learners raise questions to signify where they are struggling, what gaps in knowledge there are, and what interests they have at heart. From here further sessions will build on past ones, risk-taking and competetive learning exercises will be used to motivate and support the learner. Long discourse can be vital for solidifying knowledge, and allowing one to have an insight into their own thinking processes, supporting comprehensive learning as opposed to just blocks of facts floating in one's head. As a student myself over 8 years ago, it was after hours at A-level and university where it would be me and a professor discussing ideas, and me proposing issues in the learning, highlighting gaps in my previous knowledge, that supported me the most to be able to move unto the next level. It is this opportunity that I wish to provide to future students

Sessions can take place online or a designated place, there is always a free first session to see allow each other to understand how we may work together. And if any questions are needed beforehand, please do get in touch.

Hello - Geography is my passion and I have been on a mission throughout my career to instill that passion and enthusiasm with the students I have taught.
I have a wide and deep experience of teaching secondary Geography and am vastly experienced in consultancy and advisory work on teaching and learning generally. An Oxford graduate in Geography and former Head of Department and school leader, I have also developed expertise in online tutoring over these recent unprecedented times. The results I have achieved with students and the impact made on their learning have been outstanding and many of my former students have gone onto read Geography at university and many have also become teachers themselves. I currently still teach and combine this with my indepedent advisory and consultancy work. Fieldwork has been a particualr enthusiasm of mine and I have taken students to destinations all over the UK, Europe, China and Kenya.
I am also skilled in online coaching that can boost the self-confidence of students and am a registered Philosophy for Children (P4C) trainer, with expertise in developing student independent learning, thinking skills and metacognition.
