A former Teaching Fellow at King's College London, I have taught MA courses on the Arab-Israeli conflict, US and British Foreign Policy, War and Peace in the Middle East, and Inter-Faith Relations. A fluent Hebrew speaker, I was Peer Tutor in Hebrew at University College London, where I was awarded the departmental prize for excellence in the Hebrew language. I have tutored privately abroad, as well as in Britain, and have an immensely successful record with my tutees. In addition to online tuition throughout the academic year, I also offer intensive tuition during school and university holidays, which both tutees and parents find particularly useful for preparation, consolidation of knowledge and, if need be, to get a tutee back on track. For peace of mind, I have an enhanced DBS check, and am subscribed to the annual update service.
I am a British PhD with degrees from the universities of London, Jerusalem, and Cambridge. Author of 'Israel and the Cold War: Diplomacy, Strategy, and the Policy of the Periphery at the United Nations' (I. B. Tauris/Palgrave Macmillan, 2013), I have written for several academic journals and newspapers and reviewed for the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House. I was the first recipient of the Mikardo scholarship awarded by the British Foreign Office, and, whilst at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, I was awarded a Golda Meir Fellowship. Whilst at Cambridge, I won a Donner prize in Atlantic Studies. In addition to the subjects listed below, I tutor in International Relations and Middle Eastern Studies, and I'm happy to consider all enquiries within my general areas of interest and experience. I am also available for dissertation consultation, proofreading, and help in exam and essay writing.
Tuition Approach.
Patient, understanding, relaxed, interactive, theme-based, and multi-disciplinary. Use of past papers, analysis, deconstruction of exam and essay questions, concepts, and requirements, development of essay and exam structure. I pay particular attention to a student's self-confidence and self-expression, which often serve as catalysts for enhanced self-belief and success.

I am a qualified teacher, and spent 6 years in the classroom, 5 of which were as a Head of Department. I have a passion for helping others to succeed, and understand that my success and - more importantly - that of my students are fully aligned. I take a positive approach to tuition, always looking to relate difficult concepts to real world scenarios to bring them to life and show how they can be applied. I also have a decade of industry experience in professional services which allows me to provide real world examples to problems and questions.
I have been tutoring since my university days in 2006, and have a track record of helping students to achieve or exceed their target grades in the GCSE and A- Level exams.
Every student is different with their own learning styles - I adapt to the needs of the individual student. Always taking a positive approach, I work in a collaborative way with students so that they achieve their potential and feel a sense of accomplishment. Sometimes large topics or difficult concepts just need broken down into smaller steps or component parts - by taking each at a time, students will build up their knowledge and develop confidence to tackle any questions by following a methodical approach.
Work with me to build your knowledge, develop in confidence and get ready to smash your exams!
