Millie Deere

I am a First Class graduate of Keble College, Oxford, in Geography, specialising in the social and human aspects. I think critically and creatively with both text and real-world data, striving to bring this energy into my tutoring, encouraging my students to challenge conceptual narratives and build their own sophisticated ideas in response to literature and geographical case studies.

Experience

I have just graduated Keble College, Oxford University, with a first class degree in geography, specialising in the social and human aspects. While excelling in Maths and Science GCSEs and thus highly capable in STEM subjects, my academic strengths lie in the ability to think critically and creatively with both text and real-world data. I strive to bring this energy into my tutoring, encouraging my students to challenge conceptual narratives and build their own sophisticated ideas in response to literature and geographical case studies.

I have been tutoring since aged 15, giving me seven years of experience. Working with younger children in their primary school years to teenagers going through their GCSEs, I have a plethora of experience in different working methods employing different activity engagement exercises and help with homework organisation. I have successfully worked with both online and in person tutoring.

Additionally, lesson structure and support is very important to the success of my tutoring. Co-creating a schedule to approach course material helps both me and the student gain a wider sense and trust in the stages of the tutoring process. Lastly, I encourage students to ask questions and bring their own interests and qualms to the lessons, so that the sessions are moulded around their own personal needs rather than replicating that of a classroom.

I offer Geography tutoring up to an Oxbridge application level, working with students to boost their confidence and prepare a personalised skill set for the interview process. I also tutor for Geography A-level, focusing on a curriculum specific form of mentoring. For GCSE-level I tutor Geography, English Literature, Drama and Spanish, my passion for literature and writing something which enhanced my academic abilities and pliancy within my degree in that it encouraged me to approach different elements of the course from a unique and interrogative angle. For this, I highly recommend exploring Geography alongside another topic of interest within the GCSE and A-level periods as it is such a wonderfully multifaceted and polymorphic degree, there are manifold ways to approach it.

I hold a Level-1 Safeguarding certificate and an Enhanced DBS Check.

About

Currently I am working as a Tutor in London, beginning applications for editorial and feature writing poisitions for work. Beyond academia, my passions lie in the arts, language, culture and sport. I value a work-life balance highly, particularly within an Oxford environment, not only to keep your body at equilibrium but because I believe that to succedd in one thing you need to enjoy doing other things on the side!

I was strongly involved in the Drama society at university, either acting on the stage or singing at open mic nights. Not only does performance enhance my presentation capabilities but allows me to let loose and explore my different talents. In the same way, I enjoyed playing on the University Lacrosse Team, and going on long runs through the parks.

One critical driver for me in both Geogaphy and general life is an interest in travel, language, and culture. I hope to someday move abroad and gain fluency in Spanish and Italian, and I can't wait to see the opportunities my degree will give me in new parts of the world.
