Information about Richard
I am an experienced private tutor working in the Oxford area. I graduated from Oxford University with an MSt in English literature in 2013 and began a DPhil, focussing on English poetry, in October, 2015. I also hold a first-class undergraduate degree in Philosophy and English from Edinburgh.
My academic background is rooted in both philosophy and literature and I am happy to teach either of these at any level from pre-GCSE through to university. In the past, I have worked as a course designer for an educational company in Oxford and am attuned to a variety of learning styles and accustomed to making learning at once challenging and fun.
My knowledge of English and philosophy is exemplary, and I received a number of prizes in both subjects through school and university.
Availability: I am available for private tutoring sessions whenever best suits my students.
My hourly rate is negotiable and begins at around £30.
Willing to travel: 5 miles
Experience: I have tutored a range of students with a range of abilities from GCSE to A Level in English language, literature and philosophy. In several cases, I have significantly improved my students` grades.

Richard is providing really good tutoring support on A-level Philosophy to my son who gives him 5 out of 5! My son says the lessons are very well planned, clearly delivered and are providing him with a guided, open space to think and consolidate his ideas without the usual pressure his challenging school teacher is putting on him. So well recommended!

Richard has given my Year 10 son 4 sessions so far, and it`s been excellent - my son was dubious at first about whether a tutor would work (he is not keen on school generally), but now feels like he really learns best one-to-one, and is going to carry on next year with Richard. He just got a distinction in his GCSE English speaking exam, thanks in large part to Richard`s preparation with him.

Richard helped our daughter with GCSE Maths. He was an extremely good tutor and we would highly recommend him.
