About Tai

I have been tutoring for over ten years and am highly experienced at all levels from primary to A-level. I went to King's College School in Wimbledon before reading English at Oxford. I subsequently trained as an actor at one of the top drama schools (Guildhall School of Music and Drama) before gaining an MA in Philosophy at King's College London. I have just completed a PhD in Sociology at the University of Birmingham with a thesis on the work of the late philosopher and sociologist Bernard Stiegler (concerning the fate of aesthetic performance in the time of digital media) which I am now developing for book publication.

I have a patient, flexible and fun approach to tutoring ensuring my lessons are individually suited to my students' needs. I work with parents to ensure that there is a clear dialogue about progress, work needed and homework set. I believe education is about teaching and learning good questions to ask, not merely correct answers to give.

I specialise in English, Philosophy, Sociology and Drama at GCSE and A-Level. I am also extremely experienced in 7-11+ admissions to both independent and grammar schools (covering all aspects: English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning and interview practice).

I have prepared students for successful entrance to several top independent and state schools including:

Charterhouse (11+)
City of London (11+ [x2])
City of London Freemens (11+)
Cranleigh (13+)
Francis Holland (11+)
