Geography, history, university applications, study skills.

I am a friendly and engaging tutor with experience in a variety of teaching and learning environments. I graduated from Magdalene College, Cambridge in 2018 with a degree in Geography, and since then, I have completed an MSc in Urban Studies at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and an MA in Public History. I was awarded a full Erasmus scholarship for the MA and completed semesters in Budapest, Tokyo and Florence. I am now working as an English teacher (ESL) in Tbilisi, Georgia.

​

I have extensive experience with undergraduate and postgraduate university applications and Oxbridge interviews, having worked with the company Oxbridge Applications for several years now. Specifically, I have helped many under- and postgraduate university applicants with personal statements, motivation letters, required written work, and interview preparation. I have also conducted 50+ hours of mock interview sessions with Oxbridge applicants, coached interview strategy one-on-one, and led interview preparation workshops with larger groups of students.

​

I have extensive experience tutoring GCSE and A-Level Geography and GCSE Biology, working with the companies Griffin & Bell, Blue Tutors and New Channel Education (China). Mainly, I have conducted one-on-one tutoring sessions with students needing help with key concepts in geography (any and all modules), essay writing, revision strategy, and exam technique. I have helped many students attain A and A* grades in exams and coursework assignments.

​

Through the company Blue Tutors, I have worked with several undergraduate students on essay writing and coursework assignments, helping them reach first-class grades.

​

My approach and pedagogy varies depending on what I'm teaching, but in general, I aim to be as adaptable as possible and tailor my approach to each student's individual needs. With school subjects and exam preparation, I focus on identifying and improving students' weakest areas through targeted exercises and revision, enabling them to make progress quickly. On the other hand, when working with Oxbridge applicants, I have to use a very individualised approach to help the client improve their communication, critical thinking skills, or whatever it is they most need help with.

I'm currently living in Tbilisi, Georgia and working as an English teacher. I love to travel, exercise, play sports (especially tennis and table tennis!), cook, and watch movies and TV series. I'm also learning Russian, which is interesting but very difficult!
