George

I am a recent graduate from the University of Cambridge, where I studied geography and completed an advanced (C1 Level) French language course. After graduation, I worked for four months on a water sports resort in Greece as a children`s club rep. This ties in to one of my main passions- sport. I captained my college football first XI at university and was President of Oxbridge Varsity Surf. I am also a keen musician, and at university played the saxophone in a funk band, with whom I performed at various May Balls and other events.

Availability: My travel plans have unfortunately been cut short due to the lockdown so I am essentially free to tutor online whenever.

Willing to travel: 8 miles

Experience: My first experience tutoring was while at school, when I tutored younger students mathematics, French and statistics. Having enjoyed this so much, while at Cambridge I taught in all of my summer holidays. In my first summer holiday, I taught English to students aged 8-14 in rural China, where I was amazed by the rapport that I could build with young students despite the language barrier. This showed me just how far enthusiasm can go! During my second summer at Cambridge, I was chosen as one of three out of 110 applicants from Cambridge University to be one of the Cambridge Summer Teachers in Kenya. I taught geography, economics, politics and classics to students aged between 10 and 16. This involved simplifying and presenting university-level academic concepts and topical current affairs such to create lesson plans which were suitable for teenagers. I also organised and led extra-curricular activities such as quizzes and rugby training.
