Peter

I'm a student of Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Oxford, specialising in Economics and Philosophy papers. I have a mathematical background from school and from the mathematical/technical papers I've chosen in the Economics component of my degree. I have particular interest in Game Theory, Philosophy of Religion, and first principles Mathematics.

Tutoring Experience

I've enjoyed tutoring for over 4 years, as I really like breaking down a concept or topic into its parts so that students can gain a greater understanding and insight. I've found that as students understand the content on a deeper level, they become more confident and adept at applying it to problems, including in examinations. My students have increased their attainment by multiple grades using this approach, as they find their ability to grasp concepts more than they initially thought.

Tutoring Approach

I structure lessons initially around what the student feels they need to work on, helping to break aspects down into understandable components. In the process, I often find other areas which could be improved on, so I then think about how to help the student work on these areas. This enables a comprehensive understanding and improvement. Having worked on areas of weakness, we can then use that solid foundation to move onto other areas and improve confidence and attainment
