Tommo

I hold an MPhil Theology from Oxford University and have been a tutor since 2013. I currently provide A Level tuition to pupils in care, as well as coaching students in Drama at St Paul`s Girls` School (part-time). I`ve previously taught elements of theatre at both Undergraduate and Masters level, and as a full-time teacher at Westminster School.

I mostly tutor GCSE and A Level students, as well as working on interview preparation for 7-11+ pupils.

For older pupils, our sessions follow the format of an Oxbridge tutorial, questioning and provoking independent thought and leading students to consider multiple opinions. Depending on the student and subject, I regularly set short essays to ensure that written explanation and argument are continually practiced.

With younger children, I work on confidence-building and instilling the capacity to examine problems from multiple perspectives, sharpening critical thought and deepening knowledge. This is particularly important for my work on interview preparation with those applying to independent schools.

Outside of academic tuition, I`m a professional dramaturg (scri pt developer), working with prestigious theatres including the Roya Exchange (Manchester), Traverse (Edinburgh) and Royal Court (London).

I`m a part-time Drama Teacher (LAMDA Exams) at St Paul`s Girls` School, and previously taught curricular Drama at Westminster School (where I also ran mock Oxbridge interviews for applicants to read Theology).

Other teaching experience includes Drama at Magdalen College School (Juniors), LAMDA grades (Acting and Verse & Prose) at JG Dance College, and drums to 25 students (up to Grade 8 standard).
