Ned - Oxford
BA History - University of Oxford
My tutoring motto is "chill, but electric."
It's really important to me that my students want to be in class, and that we know exactly what we're working on and working towards.
This is something I've learnt over 3 years of tutoring, giving 525 hours of 1-on-1 tuition by the latest count (Feb' 2024).
And, in my experience, it works. I've had students start in January on 3s and finish in June on 7s, I've guided dozens of Oxbridge candidates through the interview process, and I've mentored extensively in English 11+ and History GCSE. As one recent student said; "Ned is wonderful. If I have to rank all my tutors, Ned is at the top."
I do all of my teaching online, finding it to be more efficient than in person. With a ZoomPro account and 400+ hours of experience, I'm professionally confident in the fact that online is just as good as in person.
There's four key subjects that I teach:
Oxbridge Applications (History).
English GCSE.
11+ English, early years English, UKiSet and general English reading/writing fluency.
History GCSE.
I graduated from Somerville College, Oxford, in the top 3% of my year group (finishing in the top-ten students). In this time I scored an extremely rare 81/100 in my 'Disciplines of History' Finals paper, a first in my Dissertation on Anglo-Indian Partition literature, and was awarded the 'Somerville College Principals Prize' as well as an 'Exhibition in History' for finishing first in my college. I also received awards from the Royal Economic&History Society and, in 2017, won the Julia Woods Oxford History Prize (2017).
Before University, I scored 12AStars at GCSE, and an AStar and 2As at A Level (English, History, Maths). I scored near-on 100% in both my English GCSE and A Level exams.
When I'm not tutoring, I'm pursuing a career as a musician and songwriter. Beyond that, I'm deeply passionate about all things History (mainly post-1750) and reading novels (Rushdie, Alice Walker, George Orwell are some favourites). A secondary aim of tutoring is to pass on this enthusiasm to my students!
