About Riss
Having not always been an grade A candidate, I understand the realities of not always finding things easy! Having gone from 1 A* at GCSE to a double 1st in Education with English and Drama from Cambridge, I can appreciate the importance of academic guidance to unlock the full potential of a student.
The combination of skills I have acquired from teaching English in both the UK and foreign countries, working with young people, reading Education at Cambridge, oxbridge application tutoring, and running theatre workshops means I am qualified to provide the necessary academic input, alongside building that all important confidence, focus and motivation. I am dedicated to enabling genuine understanding and confidence, rather than a simple regurgitation of knowledge.
From my studies in Education with English and Drama, I am not only knowledgeable in effective teaching methodologies, but also a range of subjects and topics such as sociology, history, psychology, English literature, theatre studies, film and visual culture, globalisation, pluralism and modernity.
I have tutored six oxbridge candidates, five of whom were successful. I believe I can offer a realistic and valuable insight into the application process, and act as a strong and consistent support.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Larissa was a first class student with particular strengths in English Liiterature, Philosophy, and Drama but her course covered a wide range of subjects and disciplines. Larissa is a warm, dynamic and thoughtful person who is very well placed to tutor. She is self-motivated and has a very thorough appreciation of how different people learn. I would certainly recommend her for this post.
Larissa is one of the most engaging and knowledgeable people I know. She is passionate about education and has the skills to motivate students and increase confidence in one's own abilities. She also has the ability to critique and push students to better themselves in an exciting and stimulating way. She's an incredibly committed tutor and would only ever put her whole heart into her work.
