Tom

I am a postgraduate student at Oxford, studying the BCL law course. I completed my undergraduate degree (in English and German law) with a first class grade and a prize in one paper. I am offering tutoring up to GCSE in all my A-level subjects, and up to A-level in German, which was part of my undergraduate degree. I am also in this for the experience - I hope someday to teach law - and so I am more than happy to negotiate rates. I try to be enthusiastic and assiduous, and I will do whatever is necessary to help.
As far as teaching style is concerned, my general approach in languages would be an emphasis on a solid understanding of the grammar rather than the trotting out of set phrases, but this obviously depends on the tutee`s level, and just how far they want to go in the language. For history and economics I would probably emphasise understanding the mechanics of an argument. However, once again, this all depends on the tutee, and I will do my best to adapt my teaching to their learning style, rather than trying to force them to adopt their learning style to meet my teaching.

Availability: Whenever.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have been in full time education for the past thirteen years, and as such have had rather more experience of teachers and teaching than I would like! I have worked with autistic children before, and in my last year my Upper Sixth German set occasionally helped our teacher with the younger classes. In addition to this, I have been tutoring GCSE German and History and CE Latin to several students of all abilities for about six months now, and always receive positive feedback.
