A step-by-step tuition program that:
Builds self-esteem
Increases resilience
Improves wellbeing
Improves communication
Improves study skills

Resources provided include:
-Mentoring
-3D animation videos to explain concepts
-Worksheets
-Other supplementary materials

Who i've worked with;
-students at prestigious schools across the world (e.g. Eton College, St. Paul's)
-students at the top universities (e.g. Oxford University, Yale University)
-student athletes (e.g. Harvard/Stanford and Team GBR Olympics teams)
-recent graduates at the world's top firms (e.g. Goldman Sachs, Slaughter & May)

This programme has been turned into a workshop and will be delivered at both Oxford and Cambridge universities for first year students.

Every student needs assistance to rebound after the pandemic and lockdowns. I have the expertise to get students back on track.

I have tutored students from the most prestigious schools in the country as well as students internationally.

I have delivered talks at schools on student success and have authored four books on topics such as productivity, time-management, self-discipline & confidence.

I founded the first online personal development academy for teenagers based around a holistic approach to learning. I also create wellbeing & mental health resources for young people at schools and universities.

My role is not only in preparing students for the future but it is giving them the confidence to shape it. My objective is to inspire, motivate and cultivate ambitious young students who have the ability to identify and fulfil their aspirations.

I combine five interlinked components that, if worked on in tandem, can drastically change a students life for the better and aid them in becoming the pioneers of the future.

These 5 strands are:
1) Mindset
2) Wellbeing Management
3) Study Skills
4) Life Skills
5) Leadership Development

I place a special emphasis on personal development and this is what makes me different. I believe it is possible to equip students with the mindset and skillset to radically alter their lives for the better.

My instruction goes beyond this by including study skills such as note-taking, memory improvement techniques, speed-reading, and effective revision into its program. These skills will stay with pupils and enlighten their entire academic tenure.

Finally, my role is also about offering guidance to students in terms of their current issues, academic future and potential career paths. My educational system is a result of years of lessons I myself learned progressing through the academic arena all the way to university level. In addition, it encompasses all the research I have conducted in self-improvement, effective study skills and successful leadership. These methods have been tested and proven successful. I hope to impart this knowledge to the next generation and watch them do great things with it.

Yours sincerely,
Ash

Ciar is a recent graduate of Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance; a versatile queer dance artist freelancing in London with a background in Hip-Hop, Circus Arts, Classical Ballet and Contemporary dance.

I hope to offer everyone an exciting and enjoyable time whilst pushing thier physical capabilities. Dance should be fun!

My class explores a choreographic style of contemporary dance with clear influences from Cunningham technique and my recent expirience working with Jason Mabana. The work will challenge your coordination, rhythm, attention to detail and demostrate a contemporary application of classical teachnical forms, but all through explorative and original material.

The class is structured like any other technical class, each exercise desinged to methodicaly warm up and work the body, building on the previous exercises, before culminating in a longer choreography where we can pull everything together and just have a boogie.

I can tailor the work to each student however I would reccomend having some technical expirience, classical or contemporary.
