Anna

I have recently completed my third degree (MSc) at the University of Oxford in Education and have started my DPhil (PhD) in Religious Education

I have an undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Theology and a PGCE from the University of Oxford. I am an experienced teaching professional with 9 years of teaching/tutoring experience in Divinity/Theology, History and English. I was an AQA examiner and have vast experience in entrance exams. I particularly focus on high-level teaching ensuring my students reach their absolute potential. I have vast experience in Oxford entrance coaching and assisting with personal statements/entrance exams for public schools. I have also assisted with running Oxford interviews so can give real and recent advice as I am still involved.

I have a wealth of experience with DPhil/PhD proofreading and pride myself on quick, thorough and, importantly, accurate suggestions. Please select "Study Skills" for enquiries about my availability.

Tutoring Experience

GCSE/Sixth Form, teaching English (Literature and Language), Religious Education, Sociology and History

Secondary School, teaching Religious Education/Divinity/History

9 years - coaching Oxbridge applicants

Throughout these years I have maintained independent tutoring for Oxbridge candidates and additional support tutoring for school entrance exams.

My pedagogy focusses on making sure the student is confident by filling in the gaps in their knowledge explicitly for the syllabus requirement. Rather than a meandering appreciation for the subject my tutoring sessions sharply address gaps and thus ensuring a more secure subject knowledge.

I have proofread a variety of DPhils and PhDs ranging from Theology to Psychology. I am familiar with Harvard/APA/Chicago referencing.

Tutoring Approach

I have undertaken both undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of Oxford in Philosophy, Theology and Education. I am presently at the university studying for a DPhil (PhD) in Religious Education meaning my subject knowledge is fresh and evolving to meet the ever-changing syllabus requirements.

I have considerable teaching/tutoring experience with high-level students. My focus is not on reproducing materials but on targeting what will improve students’ grades the most. Work hard, but work smart.
