Liz

I moved to London in October 2017 after graduating from the University of Cambridge with a degree in Japanese and Sociology. Since beginning work as a private tutor, I have taught over 100 students.

I am confident to tutor a wide range of subjects, ranging from KS2 to A Level, though am most experienced with English and Sociology tuition. Oxbridge admissions, university applications, and support with humanities or essay-based courses are also areas in which I am constantly helping students. Across all subjects offered, I have a strong familiarity with mark schemes, exam boards, and access to past papers and related content.

Other subjects include: Maths, French, History and, of course, Japanese. I also took the International Baccalaureate (an A Level equivalent). This means that I am also qualified to tutor IB subjects and am extremely familiar with the different style.

Additionally:

Downing Keio Summer School 2017: I received invaluable experience leading groups of 10 and also one-on-one sessions, teaching International Relations.

University: Cambridge is home to the `supervision system`. I often had one-on-one sessions with leading academics and am very familiar with this style of individualised teaching and learning.
