I marked essays for PPE Oxford entrants for three years, so I know exactly what you need to do. I will tell you all the secrets of the admissions process, from the personal statement, through to the entrance test and the interview.

I will guide you through the technique of writing essays and answering critical thinking questions, for any Humanities subject (LNAT, UCAT, TSA, UKCAT, Philat, HAT, 11+, 13+). I have developed specific methods for answering all the sorts of questions that come up, and I will pass these onto you.

My students, on average, achieve at 28% increase in their university entrance test results over our time together, once we work together for a number of sessions.

With interview preparation, I draw my experience going to drama school, and working as a theatre director: we can work, sometimes quite intensely, on your intellectual and emotional presentation. This is a skill! It can be vastly improved in a short period of time.

Over TEN YEARS, I have developed a method to ace the Philosophy and English exams, and most of my students progress rapidly once we start working together. Exams are mostly about technique, and I can teach you it!

I am familiar with every UK Philosophy and English syllabus, so I can help you go into detail with your studies. They can be hard subjects to get your head around for some students, and I have experience in how to explain the topics in a readily understandable way.

Tutoring Experience

For the past 10 years, I have also tutored many successful 11+ and 13+ candidates to some of London's top schools (inc. St. Pauls Girls', St. Pauls Boys', City of London, Latymer Upper, Godolphin & Latymer, Highgate, UCS, Westminster, and many more). I have seen what works, and always collect information students after their exams, so I have developed an expert sense for how to help students sail through the process.

The majority of my work is with the top private tutoring agencies in London, and I have been flown across the world (several times!) to tutor individuals and groups in school/ university entrance tests and interview preparation. I have also acted as an adviser for schools and colleges on how to teach Philosophy.

• 5 years teaching at Westminster Tutors, one of London's top colleges

• 2 years Head of English and Drama at London Russian Ballet School

• 3 years as an ENTRANCE TEST EXAMINER at an OXFORD COLLEGE for Philosophy, Politics and Economics

• 2 years as HEAD OF ENGLISH AND DRAMA at a top London school

• 4000+ HOURS private tutoring experience, working with London's top private tutoring agencies, with over 500 students

Tutoring Approach

I always tailor my lessons to each individual student, finding out what works best for you.

I do not come in with a pre-prepared plan for our first lesson: I see where you are, what learning style works best, how you like to work, and then we go from there. After the end of the first lesson, if you want to proceed, I will send you a plan of study.

I send you FEEDBACK every EVERY lesson.

And I REGULARLY TEST my students, so that we have a concrete MARKER OF PROGRESS, and all of my tutoring is specifically geared toward exam preparation.
