About Tom

I'm keen on academics, but otherwise I enjoy organising university welfare events, training with my rowing team, or going out with friends for a coffee.

I achieved 4 A*s at A-Level and 11 A*s at GCSE. I recently graduated from the Univeristy of Oxford with a BA in Philosophy and Linguistics. Next year, I will be studing for an MSc in AI and Data Ethics at the University of Edinburgh. I love my subject choice and can only hope that I see others find passion in their interests.

I spent 2 months teaching English in China to classes of students ranging from 6 to 17 years. This provided me a level of professionalism and experience which I have brought into my one-on-one classes for the past 3 years as a part-time tutor.

While I was a lot shyer when I was younger, I recognise how crucial your teens are for development, coming out of my shell and now even being labelled 'the extrovert'! Anxiety about school and friends can get in the way of this development, and so I hope to make my tutees a little bit more comfortable with the stress of their work.

I have had close connections with the Oxford Classics Faculty, my principal tutor specialising in ancient languages, and often sharing philology and Greek philosophy lectures with Classics students. Obviously, I am more inclined to the language than literature of the ancient world, and so I hope my broader linguistic knowledge can offer helpful insights to my students. However, I still enjoy plenty of philosophy texts from antiquity
of course!

About the lesson

I offer typically 1-hour long lessons, moving either step-wise through the curriculum or targeting what you find difficult. Engagement is key to learning, and so I try to question tutees as much as possible. This helps understanding of the grammar of the language and active application to unfamiliar texts.

I can bring new resources to the lesson to supplement the student's class/homework. Particularly, in the case of language learning, research finds active recall useful for vocab and practice on unfamiliar texts for grammar.

At Oxford, I have the opportunity to be taught by my own tutors, leading academics in their field, which has inspired me to try to offer a hopefully similar experience to my tutees. At school, I volunteered to tutor younger years, and have also coached rowing to complete beginners, solely responsible for their safety and progression on the water.
