Elizabeth B.
  • Cambridge, history
  • London, United Kingdom
I have three years’ experience tutoring the humanities, both online and in person. I have an excellent record of preparing students for entry to UK schools and universities. I also excel in building confidence after disappointing mock or module results.     In Summer 2016, I helped a student go from a D to an A in A-Level History. The previous year, one of my students went from a U-grade mock to a B in GCSE English in 6 weeks.     In addition to my BA from the University of Cambridge (2013), I also have an MA by Research from the University of Durham (2015, AHRC Scholarship).        When not tutoring, I enjoy hiking, literature, and choral music. I am also a board member of the Congenital Anemia Network, Oxford.

            I am an attentive, perceptive and committed tutor. I know what students need to succeed and I set my standards high – both for my pupils and for myself.

            Three years' tutoring experience, offering the following subjects:     A-Level/IB: English, History  GCSE: English, History, French, Spanish, Music  Admissions: Oxbridge and Russell Group admissions, Personal Statements  GRE: Qualitative Reasoning, Analytic Writing

            After completing my degrees at Cambridge and at Durham, I spent two years living in Oxford. I therefore consider myself to have excellent knowledge of all three of England's old collegiate towns!     I am now based in London. When I am not tutoring, my interests include hiking, reading, and choral music. I am also a board member of the Congenital Anemia Network, a medical charity based in Oxford.
