About Xin

Oxford University graduate, BA History (high 2.i). Before that, 4 A*s at A-level and 11 A*s at GCSE from my local state school.

I am a City-qualified lawyer and media professional with a variety of experience from work placements during university at London law firms, national newspapers, the BBC, and the UK Civil Service.

Highlights of my long track record for my tutees include achieving three 9’s at GCSE for a student in English and History, as well as a full house of offers for sociology and physics UCAS applications.

My personal interests are wide. At school, I considered going into medicine - my A-levels were in Maths, Chemistry, History and English Literature. I am sympathetic to students facing big decisions at 11, 14, 16 and 18 - I remember how crucial those choices felt, and how important it was to ace those 11+, GCSE and A-level exams. Good, personally-dedicated teaching built my confidence for success; I hope I can, in turn, help you build yours.

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile and I hope to hear from you soon.

About the lesson

I tutor History and English at GCSE and A level.

I also provide tailored support with the university application process, with particular strength in drafting UCAS personal statements for all subjects.

Lessons are very much focused on closely following course specification content and exam technique. Within those strict parameters, nonetheless, I try to take a more engaging approach, using a wider variety of resources - and resources more interesting and suited to the specific student - than might be possible or available during school hours.

I also provide regular updates on progress to parent(s) or guardian(s).

Perfect! Best tutor
I hugely recommend this tutor for anyone studying history. Within two months, he helped me raise my grade from a U to an A, in my school examinations. His lessons are equally interesting and fun as they are productive and thought provoking. Simply the best history tutor that you could find!

Perfect! All-Round Excellent Tutor!
Xin kindly tutored my daughter over the Easter holidays and I have copied her feedback below

“Xin tutored me for my History Pre-U exams. He came to every single lesson completely prepared with notes and past paper questions for the topics we were going to cover. Some of our lessons were very long and Xin made them incredibly engaging and so easy to stay focused throughout. He made time during the lessons to go through essay writing techniques, review corrections on work he had set and, most importantly, explained everything in a really comprehensible way. Xin was very generous with his time and resources and always found ways to make History fun. He has a genuine passion for this subject and continues to show a great level of support and interest in my progress as a History student. I feel so much more prepared for my summer exams and am very grateful for Xin’s help and all the extra resources he has given me to study when I get back at school!”

I would also like to add that Xin is extremely well-read; he covered a wide range of topics with insight, clarity and humour! His enthusiasm and dedication to teaching are exemplary and he often generously extended his skills and knowledge way beyond the call of duty. Xin provided detailed and helpful feedback following each lesson, he was always reliable, punctual and a real joy to have around... lots of progress was made and lost confidence regained... thank you very much Xin!

Xin was a fantastic tutor who guided me through both my GCSEs and A-Levels. Thanks to his support, I achieved excellent grades—surpassing my flight paths—and went on to excel in History, Philosophy, and Sociology at A-Level. This gave me the foundation to pursue Law with International Relations at a prestigious university.

Schoolwork never came easily to me. I’m a slow writer and have always struggled to articulate my thoughts clearly on paper. However, with the tools Xin provided, I was able to overcome these setbacks and grow into someone who now feels confident in their academic ability.

His expertise in History—one of my favourite subjects—was particularly inspiring. He taught me how to properly engage with the material at every level, consistently raising the standard in each session while remaining incredibly supportive and encouraging.

Xin’s impact wasn’t limited to just academic subjects. He boosted my confidence across the board and also helped with broader aspects of my education, including UCAS personal statements and CV writing. His guidance played a key role in helping me secure my place at university.

The skills and mindset Xin instilled in me will stay with me for life. He truly is an exceptional tutor!

Xin & I worked together with many different age groups of children. I always found him to be very reliable and amazing with the kids. he's a really patient guy, he's knowledgeable, great sense of humour. You'll find him professional when required but not afraid to be a little silly if it's needed! You'll not go wrong picking Xin to tutor your children. They'll learn and they'll laugh. He will be well attuned to both their learning & pastoral needs.
