Information about Gus
I graduated with a First in English from Trinity College, Cambridge.
I aim to strike a balance between engaging, personal commitment to making the student see and realise a passion for reading and writing, alongside the necessity of navigating exam strictures and requirements - but, again, without making them seem restrictive or off-putting.
I very much have enjoyed my experiences with small-group, Cambridge "supervision"-style teaching to students on various theatre tours that I have done during my time at Cambridge and this led me into thinking that similar, informal one-on-one teaching would be similarly rewarding.
Availability: I am able to tutor online.
Generally weekdays are better, with evenings and daytimes flexible.
Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: I have tutored around 10 students in the past two years, at all levels from 7+ to A-Level, and in exam boards from AQA to the UKISET for international students. I have taught both English and international students, and so am familiar with the varieties of difficulty that students can encounter and a variety of approaches for addressing them. I enjoy re-examining the elementals of the subject through tutoring.
My students have all registered often substantial improvements and I continue to be asked back by different families if they feel they need a boost. I`m happy to provide references from students and parents.

Gus is extremely helpful and sympathetic - he takes the time to get up to speed with the exact requirements of each exam board, and to listen and attend to his student`s individual needs. He was able to follow my daughter`s complex arguments and provide the level of feedback she needed. As an Oxbridge academic myself, I can say that for students hoping to progress to university, to have a tutor who gained an excellent degree from a world-class institution is particularly good preparation for higher education.
