About me:

I graduated from Cambridge University in 2000 with a degree in Religious Studies.
I worked as a teacher and Head of Department in Religious Studies and Philosophy from 2005 until 2020. I have been tutoring in English, History, Philosophy and Religious Studies since 2013.
I have over 20 years’ experience helping students with university applications. I offer current and former students free help with UCAS applications.
I can assist with practice interviews for Oxford and Cambridge Religious Studies and Philosophy.
I am now a full-time tutor so I can provide dedicated help to a small number of students. I am happy to mark work and answer questions between lessons for no additional cost when possible.
