Jonathan

With a BA in Philosophy and Theology from the University of Oxford, I am currently pursuing an MPhil at the University of Cambridge. My extensive knowledge across multiple disciplines allows me to offer a holistic approach to tutoring, particularly for students aiming for top grades, where interdisciplinary thinking is essential. I am friendly and approachable, creating a positive learning environment that encourages open communication and growth.

Regarding entrance examinations, I offer the following:

Oxford TSA (Thinking Skills Assessment), PhilAT (Philosophy Admissions Test).

ISEB pre-tests. English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

11+ entry tests for independent schools. English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Scholarship Examinations (Eton King's Scholarship, Westminster, Winchester, etc.).

Tutoring Experience

I have tutoring experience for GCSE and A Level, International Baccalaureate (IB) in the following subjects: Religious Education, Philosophy, Theory of Knowledge, English Language, English Literature, Sociology, Politics and History.

I have also worked closely with students to support their EPQ and extended essay work as well as applications for Oxbridge including personal statement and interview preparation.

Tutoring Approach

I believe that students achieve their best when they feel relaxed and confident. I bring this mindset to my tutoring, taking the time to explore the knowledge and skills they already have, while encouraging them to expand their abilities and strive for academic excellence. In my online tutoring sessions, I make use of interactive tools to engage students, creating a dynamic learning environment. By incorporating real-time problem-solving, visual aids, and collaborative exercises, I ensure that each session is both educational and enjoyable, helping students build confidence and stay motivated in their studies.
