About Edward
Hi, my name is Ned and I am a recent Oxford history Masters graduate with over six years of tutoring and teaching experience. I am passionate about my subject areas and find using my enthusiasm and expertise to guide students through discussion, debate and practice thoroughly rewarding.
I believe that with the right support, any student, no matter what their previous experience, can build their confidence and ultimately succeed. To this end, I seek to teach academic skills in a way that is both intellectually rigorous and engaging. I am encouraging and supportive, open yet disciplined, and particularly focused upon the specific needs of the student as an individual.
I spent 2011 working as an English teacher in Ukraine, and upon my return to the UK, spent a further year teaching and tutoring English in language schools in Southampton and Oxford, covering classes at all levels including Cambridge exams. Since completing my masters degree I have worked with students on history (Degree, A level and G.C.S.E.), politics (A level) and English as a foreign language.
In history and politics I have helped many students to synthesise course content, sharpen their argumentative and essay structuring skills, make carefully judged use of sources and hone their exam technique. Recent notable successes include elevating a student from a low C grade in history A level to a comfortable A in less than two months, and tutoring a student to an A grade at A level politics even after their school teacher had told them it was impossible.
I am often busy and though availability may not appear on my schedule at a convenient time, do not hesitate to message me as it is more than likely that we can arrange a time that suits us both.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Perfect! Huge success
Going into these holidays History was noticeably a weakness for my son. However, after Ned's tutoring it is now a strength. He has gone from achieving C\D in essays to now finding anything below an A a disappointment ! Ned was particularly useful in helping my son understand and target the key words within the question. We are very grateful and we would highly recommend him.

Ned could explain English grammar very clearly, even for students from other cultures where tenses are not comparative to English ones. He also had a great relationship with every student in our class. What was important for me is that he is an open-minded person. He is interested in other cultures and people from different countries so I always felt comfortable. I should also mention his good manners and great sense of humour. We worked so hard over one month that I made progress from beginning intermediate level to advanced.
I can only say good things about Ned. He is really patient; if there is anything you don’t understand, he finds another way to explain it to you. If we are reading a text and there are many words we don’t know, he spends all the time we need to understand it. He is also a cheerful and dynamic person, therefore his lessons are not boring at all; they are highly practical, interactive and entertaining. I always looked forward to studying and learning more things.
My English has improved notably. I am currently studying C1 (Advanced) level. It was Ned who encouraged me to move to a higher level this year and I am very happy about it.I spent two months in Ned’s upper intermediate class during which I learnt a lot. We could always ask him if we had vocabulary and pronunciation problems and usually he has a nice idea that can help us to keep the words in our minds. He is a kind, open-minded and funny person and I was always excited about what we could learn next time.
Ned is an excellent tutor. His lessons were inspiring and well planned. He created some terrific timelines which my daughter found of great use. She looked forward to his lessons and really enjoyed them.
