Ned - Oxford
BA History - University of Oxford
Hi, I’m Ned! 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 three years of tutoring, giving 525 hours of 1-on-1 tuition.
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 11+, English GCSE and History GCSE. As one recent student said: "Ned is wonderful. If I have to rank all my tutors, Ned is at the top."
There are four key subjects that I teach:
11+ English, early years English, UKiSet and general English reading/writing fluency;
Oxbridge Applications (History);
English GCSE;
History GCSE.
I graduated from Somerville College, Oxford, in the top 3% of my year and 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 and History Society and, in 2017, won the Julia Woods Oxford History Prize (2017).
Before University, I achieved 12 A*s at GCSE, and an A* and 2As at A-Level (English, History, Maths). I scored near 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, and George Orwell are some favourites). A secondary aim of tutoring is to pass on this enthusiasm to my students!
