About Tom

I have a First Class BA in German Language and Literature from the University of Oxford and an MPhil in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic literature from the University of Cambridge, but am enthusiastic and passionate about literature and language of all kinds - especially German and English.

I have more than 1,600 hours of tutoring experience, including both within and outside the this site system, and have worked in partnership with Canis Major as well as with Oxford Talent to teach English as a foreign language. As well as offering tutorials, I am happy to mark essays at GCSE, A Level, and undergraduate level. My excellent educational credentials make me among the top qualified tutors in the UK.

Some comments from previous students after A Level results day:

"Just received my results and I am extremely happy to say that I achieved an A* and successfully obtained my place [at university]... I not only wanted to share the good news but say a massive thank you for all your help and support during this difficult gap year period and for your mentoring and guiding during our sessions, this would not have been possible without your help and support so thank you so very much. I am beyond appreciate and grateful for all your help and support." - English Literature A Level student

"thank you for your hard work and perseverance with me- I got an A in English literature and French!"

"I’ve got into Newcastle with AAB! Got an A in French and then a B in general Studies... Thanks so much for all your help!!"

"Thank you so much for all of your help, it's been immensely useful and I feel very proud to say I now have a B in English literature A level [grade needed for uni]".

English

I have always enjoyed sharing my new-found knowledge with younger students or even peers, whether that be through mentoring Year 7s or serving as a language prefect whilst still at school, delivering presentations at university, or giving ongoing teaching assistance at my old school in German, French, and English. I was lucky to have good teachers in these subjects at school, and indeed in the former at university, and I'm passionate about using my abilities to pass on what I most love about these subjects.

One thing all my years studying has taught me is that the most important thing for any given student's lesson is that their teacher understands how they learn. This is particularly the case with private tuition, where the individual needs of each student are paramount. No student is the same; therefore no lesson should be the same. It is my goal to work with parents and students to craft specifically tailored tuition depending on each individual.
