Information About Anthony:

Personal Description:

I am a graduate of St John's College, Cambridge (graduated with a 2:1 in History in 2007), currently studying for a Graduate Diploma in Law at the City Law School working towards becoming a barrister. I studied at Magdalen College School, Oxford, gaining 4 As at A Level and 11 GCSEs, 4 at A*, 7 at grade A.

I am required to be at university from 9am-6pm during the week, but would be available for weekday evenings for tutoring.

I have a wide breadth of knowledge of History, English Literature, Media and Philosophy, and am able to tutor in virtually any topic which may arise during the study of these subjects. I would be happy to tutor multiple subjects with the same student if required.

Teaching Experience:

I have experience teaching tutorials in History, English, and Media Studies to students of various levels of ability and age, from students aged 11 working towards a 13+ entrance exam, to students studying for A Levels.

I have also had three summer's worth of teaching experience teaching international students English as a foreign language as part of STS Language Schools, tutoring classes of 15-20 students aged 12-18.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is to encourage students, rather than lecturing them. I believe that student's own discoveries of the answers to problems they are dealing with are much more memorable and beneficial than simply being told what they must do. I try and teach at the pace the student requires, so that if they are able to grasp a great deal quickly, then I will move the progress of the tutorials along quickly, if they require more time to be spent on something they are having difficulty with then I will happily slow the pace until they have understood.

I am able to set homework or not depending on the requirements of the student, and am happy to mark any work done. I would also analyse in detail any work done for me with the student so they are aware of what elements of their work were well done, and which parts might need improvement.

I believe that the focus of the tutorials should be on the student and their needs, and so I would tailor the teaching style and the nature of the course depending on the particular needs of each student.

Qualifications:

• Degree in History from St John's College, Cambridge University (2:1)
• 4 As at A Level in History, English Lit, Philosophy, Media Studies
• 11 GCSEs, 4 at A* 7 at A
