Help with Personal Statements for students applying to university (Oxbridge, Russell group unis, etc)

From 35 £ /h

Due to my personal statement I received an interview from Oxford University. This sessions will help students applying to university improve their personal statements and help them to gain a place at their desired university. I can help the student plan their personal statement from scratch, or review it with them and make small amendments. I read 100s of personal statements from different subjects and helped years below from medicine applicants to students applying to study classics. My aim is to ensure that both a pupil's personality as well as their subject knowledge shine through the 47 lines. I have lots of resources from my past work with companies such as Uniadmissions and Oxbridge applications.

Sessions will take place online over video call.

About Me

I am a student studying Law at a top UK university. I studied English Literature, History, Religious Studies (Philosophy & Ethics) and EPQ for my A levels. I received 3 A*'s and got the highest mark in my A-level English class for my coursework and exams. Although, I'm studying a law degree I'm highly passionate about humanities and I hope to do a master degree in English Literature.

I have great experience as working with children and young people. I had weeks of work experience at my local nursery that looked after children before , during and after school. I also volunteered at a primary school for months teaching English and RE. Before lockdown I tutored GCSE students for their upcoming exams in my free-time. I believe that often a student helping another student can be more useful than a teacher's help, because they have taken the exam recently and can share and explain their understanding of the subject in a way that's easier for their peers. This is especially the case with exams becoming increasingly more difficult over the past years and the changes to the grading system.

Education

Currently studying a Law degree at a top UK university. Received A*'s in my A-levels for which I studied English Literature, Religious Studies (Philosophy and Ethics), History and EPQ. Succeeded and passed all 12 of my GCSE's.

Experience / Qualifications

Fluent in English and Hungarian. Worked and volunteered at primary schools and at a school club. I taught children RE and English too.

GCSE and A level English Literature and Language by an A* A level student

26 £ /h

I received 3 A*'s and got the highest mark in my A-level English class for my coursework and exams. Although, I'm studying a law degree I'm highly passionate about humanities and I hope to do a master degree in English Literature.

I have great experience at working with children and young people. I had weeks of work experience at my local nursery that looked after children before, during and after school. I also volunteered at a primary school for months teaching English and RE. Before lockdown I tutored GCSE students for their upcoming exams in my free-time. I will be providing pre-tasks and homeworks as part of these sessions. I believe that often a student helping another student can be more useful than a teacher's help, because they have taken the exam recently and can share and explain their understanding of the subject in a way that's easier for their peers. This is especially the case with exams becoming increasingly more difficult over the past years and the changes to the grading system.

I am happy to help with students studying English Language and English Literature at both GCSE's and A-levels. I'm also willing to support students with their English Literature A-level coursework as I received full marks in mine.

I'm also happy to look at personal statements as well asp provide support with LNAT (Law admission exam) practice papers to A-level students applying to university.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

IGCSE is a comprehensive curriculum, and you need strength and perseverance to conquer those high grades. That said, learning should never feel like a chore. Learning should help you open your mind and view the world with a new, ever-shifting lens.

I believe every student learns differently, and I desire to tutor the following subjects in a way that best resonates with the student (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English as a Second Language, Environmental Management and Islamiyat)
So, if you're willing to embark on this journey, let's work together 🌼
