Experience

My name is George, and I graduated from the University of Cambridge back in 2021 with a degree in Politics and International Relations. Following that I joined Blue Education as their Director of Humanities and Social Sciences. In that capacity I delivered over 1000 hours of lessons in the space of three years, whilst managing the planning and preparation for the 50-80 students normally present in my department.

I have garnered extensive experience in tutoring for A-level, Oxbridge admissions tests, the John Locke essay competition, UCAS personal statements, and Oxbridge mock interviews. Before shifting to work as an independent tutor, I was able to help 25% of my 2024 entry Oxbridge applicants achieve success in their applications, along with over 75% being successful in applying to G5 universities. With regards to the John Locke essay competition, 80% of my students were shortlisted in 2024 along with a student of mine winning the Global 3rd Prize in Politics.

Overall I believe that classes which prioritise student engagement through discussion are far superior to those that revolve around lecturing so I make a point of ensuring that classes are tailored so students can learn to speak and think for themselves.

About

Beyond tutoring I am a keen rower, having learned at university I have continued to train with a local town club. I am also working on a draft of my first fantasy fiction novel.
