University Entrance £45.00/hr

Personal Message: I specialize in teaching academically strong pupils who wish to be stretched, such as undergraduates and those looking to enter the leading universities. I have been in demand for exam preparation and Oxford and Cambridge interview coaching, and for help with essay technique.
Which subject(s) do you teach?: I have extensive experience preparing applicants for universities in the UK and America, such as Oxford, Cambridge and members of the Ivy League. Alongside this I teach most subjects whose focus is on discussion and the writing of essays, with the core of my work being in English and History.
Tell me about your qualifications.: I have First Class honours in English from the University of Oxford, which I left in 2006.
What kind of experience do you have?: I have taught in England, Italy and Hong Kong, including a year spent teaching History from Year 7 through to A level at Christ's Hospital, a co-educational boarding school in Sussex. I have taught something between fifty and a hundred private pupils, many of these for lengthy periods of time.
How much do you charge?: My usual fee is £45 per hour. I charge for travel when a lengthy journey is involved.
Where do you teach?: I usually teach at pupils' homes in London, or at mutually convenient locations such as cafes. I will shortly be moving to a new home near Kennington station, and will give some lessons there.
When are you available?: My timetable is quite flexible.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: I have taught students from primary school to pensionable ages, and most in between. I prefer to teach pupils over the age of fourteen, albeit with occasional exceptions.
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?: I am happy to prepare pupils for their undergraduate final exams, A and AS levels, the International Baccalaureate (IB), GCSE, IGCSE, and so on.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: My most recent CRB check dates from Spring 2009.
Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.: I am happy to look at and comment on work submitted online.
Do you have a personal message for students?: My lessons have a happy, positive atmosphere; they are intentionally challenging. I give my full attention to the unique requirements of every single pupil whom I agree to teach.

Demystifying University Applications

Good universities want an application to prove simply that a person is teachable. In other words, a personal statement showing how two or three particular experiences (such as an experiment, a conversation, a journey or a poem) inspired the applicant to do further research, how they have proved to be the germs of a world view, and how they...

My Testimonials

Intellectually rigorous ... lively, engaging and entertaining. This tuition went way beyond the exam syllabus. I was stretched, challenged and questioned into thinking far more originally and independently. Rob's teaching was more akin to an undergraduate tutorial than any A level lesson I have encountered.
