I'm a third year HSPS student at St John's College, Cambridge. This year I'm specialising in Politics and International Relations. Tutoring for me provides an opportunity to share my knowledge of the subject and also develop communication skills - by ensuring students truly understand and engage with what they are being taught.

            I like to work carefully through topics to ensure students have more than a superficial understanding of the topic, focusing on the crucial exam techniques that help gain the highest marks. Particularly in economics, developing a clear structure to examination answers, and an emphasis on evaluation, can move a student towards gaining full marks.

            I've been tutoring on-line and in person for more than two years, with a track record of improving students' performance. I've helped with several successful university applications to Oxbridge and Russell Group universities.

            I am President of my college politics society - arranging talks and debates with prominent political figures.
