Alanah

I am a second-year undergraduate at Cambridge University, studying Law. I sat my A Levels (English, Religious Studies and Biology) at St Olave’s Grammar School achieving A*AA and an A* in my EPQ. I also took an AS in Maths in 2022 and in my GCSEs achieved seven 9s and three 8s.
Having taken this ‘journey’ through education so recently, I am aware of all the current hurdles that must be overcome in one’s learning experience and I am passionate about successful, whilst also enjoyable, achievement. In keeping with this, I am aware that everyone has different preferences when it comes to learning and so I am happy to adapt to suit every individual.

Tutoring Experience

I have had over a year's experience tutoring Religious Studies to A Level students, of the OCR Exam Board. I also have experience from guiding and teaching younger students in Maths and English as part of an academic outreach project as well as having the role of Form Prefect within school. This gave younger students the opportunity to ask me for help in regards with their academic work and also with general advice- a role I am very grateful to have had. I set up a Law Society within my school so have experience working with people a similar age to me as well.

Tutoring Approach

I tailor sessions to the specific needs of the student, prioritising areas and topics that they want to focus on most. I encourage all students to dedicate time to essay-writing and I provide personal comments and feedback on essays and essay techniques. If students are unsure as to what they want to focus on, we work through topics together, boosting knowledge and understanding so that both AO1 and AO2 marks can be gained in the exam!
