Interview

Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach French, Latin and Classical Civilisation/Ancient History.

Tell me about your qualifications.
I have an undergraduate degree in Classics and Modern Languages from Oxford University (II.i) and a Master's degree in Ancient History also from Oxford University.

What kind of experience do you have?
I have three years' experience of private tutoring at a range of levels, from Year 7 to undergraduate, in a wide variety of subjects.
The majority of my work is A-level tuition, in which I have helped candidates to achieve up to 100% in papers they had been worried about.

How much do you charge?
Individual lessons are £40/hour (plus £5 travel expenses where applicable).

Where do you teach?
I prefer to tutor online via Skype (with webcam and chat facilities), so you can benefit from tuition at a convenient time without having to leave your home. I can also travel to students' homes within reasonable distance.

When are you available?
I am available Sunday - Thursday evenings and Friday during the day.

Which ages and levels do you teach?
I teach GCSE, AS/A level, Oxbridge entrance and undergraduates. This is both in the form of hour-long lessons and checking homework/coursework.
I can also provide general language tuition without specific exam requirements.

Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
Yes.

Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I have Skype with a webcam, so lessons can be conducted as they would in the student's home. I also have web chat facilities for clarity of spelling and points of grammar, as well as for file-sharing to give and receive homework exercises and essays.

Tell me about some of your current students.
I am currently teaching beginner's, GCSE and A Level Latin, French and Classical Civilisation.
