Tabitha

I am an Oxford graduate in theology and religion. I came top of my year in two of my final papers, and was also a choral scholar for Oriel College. I specialise in tutoring for the IB, in which I received 44 points.

Specialities

Religious Studies (from 6+ to undergraduate) English (from 6+ to IB) History (from 6+ to IB) Philosophy (IB and A level) Maths (6+ to GCSE) Sciences (6+ to GCSE) IB Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essay , writing techniques, interview preparation.

How I tutor

I teach through interacting and engaging with my tutees. With each student in mind, I craft my sessions like an Oxford tutorial: asking the right questions to draw the answers from within the student, encouraging them, whilst filling in any gaps in knowledge they may have along the way.

Why I tutor

Throughout my education, I learnt that the most important element of success in confidence. I feel inspired to bring out that confidence within my students: helping them to find the encouragement they need to work for themselves. I’ve found that speaking to someone passionate about their subject, and learning, brings out this confidence and passion within the student.
