Joseph

I am a friendly and enthusiastic individual with a PHD from UCL (2019) with a great passion for teaching and education. I specialise in essay writing skills and won the prize for best dissertation in history at Manchester University in 2014. I hold a first class honours degree in History from the University of Manchester and a Masters (Distinction) from UCL. My method focuses on the clear structuring of a student`s ideas.

Availability: I am generally available Monday-Thursday between 2 and 530pm and some Sundays. It is possible that I will also have availability during the day but that will be subject to negotiation.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: Between 2016 and 2019 I tutored an average of five hours a week in the following subjects:

A and AS level : English Literature/Language, History, Philosophy and Classical Civilisation; GCSE English and History; Entrance exams for year 9 entry.

I have given university level seminars and lectured in the following courses at UCL: Science and religion in the global community, Introduction to Jewish philosophy and mysticism (which I helped develop and run with my supervisor). I also have experience marking university-level coursework.
I spent three years as an informal educator in King David High school during my time in Manchester University (2011-2014). This included several weekly one-on-one voluntary study sessions for secondary school students as well as conducting group study sessions. Additionally, I have organised, led and administrated seven educational camps for primary and secondary school students aged 9-18 (2008-2013).

My approach towards tutoring focuses on simplifying essay questions and breaking them down into understandable segments, clarifying what is required at each stage to succeed under examination conditions. In particular, I place a great emphasis on structure and believe that the crucial aspect of all essay writings, from GCSE to Degree level, is combining a student`s intuitive style with a clear structure and effective use of language.
