Carine

I graduated from the University of Cambridge having studied Modern and Medieval Languages (French and beginners Russian) in my first year, and Human, Social and Political Science (specialising in Sociology) in my second and third years. I have been a professional tutor for 3 years. In that time, I have tutored pupils ranging in age from 4 to post retirement, and have had particular success with grade improvement at GCSE, entrance into Oxbridge, and working with students to improve their confidence levels.

My tutoring style consists of first assessing a student’s level by speaking to them and using past papers. From here I create lesson plans targeting what they hope to achieve and the specific area the pupil found challenging. I believe a tutor must be patient, reliable and creative.

I tutor in a wide variety of subjects including French, English, Maths and Japanese to GCSE and A-level. I also mentor a number of students with their applications to Oxbridge covering drafting the personal statement, selecting essays for submission, interview and writing test practice. Past mentees have gone on to study at the University of Cambridge as well as top London universities.

Availability: I am available all days and all times. Please contact me if you are interested.

Willing to travel: 8 miles

Experience: I have a very wide variety of experience having taught privately in person in England and Japan, at a camp in China, and online. My pupils have an age range of 4 to post-retirement and I have worked for a variety of purposes including learning a language from scratch, passing GCSE and A-level exams, and preparing UCAS applications.
