- Passion for learning and teaching languages.
- Regular traveller from an international family (I have family in Russia, while I have spent the last three years based in Switzerland before moving to the Netherlands.
- Cambridge graduate with experience of preparing students for Oxbridge applications. I thoroughly enjoyed my years at the University of Cambridge, and have spent the last three summers in Oxford, preparing my students for examinations. I relish the opportunity to pass on my knowledge and experience of these universities and their application processes to prospective students.
Teaching Experience
For the past three years, I have worked as a private homeschool tutor, offering a wide variety of Humanities and Language courses to two bilingual brothers. While travelling the world with them and their family, I maintained a full-time homeschooling schedule as well as strengthening their written and verbal English skills, providing extracurricular enrichment and preparing them for entry to university and international high school. Tutoring took place mostly in person, but when this was not possible due to travel, I taught them via Skype to ensure their timetable could remain constant.
Prior to this, I spent three years working as a Classics teacher at a private school in Glasgow. I taught Latin, Ancient Greek and Classical Studies to secondary school pupils, as well as developing a Latin and Ancient History course for primary school pupils. I also prepared many pupils for Oxbridge applications, as well as running a successful Debating Club.
Throughout my time at university and while studying at school myself, I tutored fellow pupils in Latin, and volunteered at an infant school in my hometown to gain classroom and tutoring experience.
