LNAT exam preparation - I am a highly experienced LNAT tutor, having logged 120+ hours of teaching the exam (as well as sitting it myself and obtaining 28/42, 16% higher than the cohort average). I have helped students gain admission to the University of Bristol, King's College London and Oxford University via LNAT tuition, with my tutees achieving scores as high as 31/42.

I am a recent graduate happy to tutor in history, politics or economics as well as broader essay writing or university applications. I have a first class MA in International Politics from King's College London, a BA in History and Politics from Oxford University, A* in history, politics and economics at A-Level, and 10 A* at GCSE. I am very passionate about these three subjects and would love to work with tutees to build their knowledge and exam relevant skills!

Approach to Teaching
– I favor a structured approach. I devise lesson plans in advance of every lesson, catering to the student's specific needs.
– Academic lessons tend to be structured around specific sections of the syllabus, or particular topics that students require help with.
– I employ a seminar-style format. I flesh out ideas with the aid of quotations, other audio-visual resources, and analytical commentary. I structure my lesson plans with a view to providing gaps, in which students are able to ask questions about the content. I am also happy for students to interrupt the flow of the lesson if a burning question arises.
– I use Powerpoint to provide students with a variety of resources and visual stimuli.

Lesson Structure
– Academic lessons tend to be 45 minutes to an hour in length, but I can adapt my teaching schedule to provide students with additional support if needed.
– Typically violin lessons range in length from 30 minutes to an hour, but I am flexible: I am more than happy to devise a lesson structure that caters to a student's requirements.

Academic Credentials
– I am a candidate for a Ph.D. in Music at the University of Cambridge.
– I hold an MPhil in Music from the University of Cambridge, where I specialized in Historical Musicology and Musical Aesthetics.
– I have a first-class music degree (74.4%) from the University of Manchester, where I won three Hargreaves Prizes for Academic Achievement.
– I have worked as an Assistant Music Teacher, which involved teaching Music A-Level students.

Professional Credentials
– I have worked as a private violin teacher for 7 years (since I was 17). I have taught a variety of students, from beginners starting their instrumental training to more advanced performers looking to improve their technical facility and performance skills.
– I have an extensive portfolio of performing credits on documentary films. Recent highlights include the BAFTA-nominated score for the BBC docuseries on Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein 'House of Maxwell' (BBC2, 2022), and 'Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In' (Netflix) (Passion Pictures / Universal Pictures) (2021).
– I have extensive experience as an orchestral musician and chamber music performer. I led the University of Cambridge Experimental Music Ensemble (CUEME) when I was studying for my master's degree at the University of Cambridge. I also led the University of Manchester Chamber Orchestra in the second year of my undergraduate degree at the University of Manchester and premiered a good deal of new music with The Eskandari String Quartet.
– I have performed at the West Road Concert Hall (University of Cambridge), the Lee Tseng Hall (Wolfson College Cambridge), the Buxton International Festival, the Manchester International Festival, and Bridgewater Hall.
– I achieved a distinction (92%) in my ATCL Diploma in violin performance, and a First (78%) in the final violin recital of my undergraduate degree.

Expected Ability of Students
– Academic level: Beginner through to GCSE, A-Level, and Undergraduate Music and History of Philosophy

Alongside my tutoring work, I am a professional playwright and theatre critic. I have studied theatre at the University of York, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and I am a member of the Soho Theatre Writers Group. My plays have been staged at the Edinburgh Fringe, York Theatre Royal and across Fringe venues in London. With my A/AS-Level Drama support classes, we will examine and explore the history behind a number of the key texts on the specifications for OCR, Pearson and EDUQAS:

Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen
Accidental Death of an Anarchist by Dario Fo
Saved by Edward Bond

In classes, we will look at the context in which these plays were written, the cultural impact they had and how to use this in essays to demonstrate your broader knowledge of the set texts. Aside from the plays themselves, it is important to understand the wider world of theatre. We will look at the plays of Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet and Theatre of the Absurd for Dario Fo. The history of Theatre censorship and the Royal Court Theatre is crucial to understanding Edward Bond's Saved.

This class will give you the opportunity to explore these complex texts with a practising playwright, and the expanded knowledge of these plays will give you that edge when it comes to the exam.

I provide A-level and GCSE History tutoring. In classes we will work on strengthening knowledge of the subject as well as practice essay structures/planning and exam technique. Homework will be set when necessary but I will always take into consideration the students' school timetable first. I will happily provide progress reports.

For Bachelor students in History/International Relations/ related subjects the classes are individually designed to address the concerns of the student. This could include clarifying topics/knowledge or essay/exam help for example.

Head of history at a London school. I teach Year 7 to 11. Main subject board is Cambridge IGCSE modules for 3 exam papers for USA depth study, the Cold War, Treaty of Versailles, Appeasement and League of Nations. My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. I assign homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports.

This course is designed to understand ancient,medieval, modern and world history. History is sometimes treated as a boring subject but most of my students in the past enjoyed this subject as most people forget connecting it with the contemporary world but this will be taught in this course.

Studying History can seem lengthy and boring at first, it's a lot of information and too vast to even memorise! You may often ask yourself, "is there a shortcut I can use to memorise so many dates and information?"
One thing about History is, the more you think it's difficult, the more you lose interest in it!

My classes are designed to tackle this lack of enthusiasm among students, because I've been through that phase making me more susceptible to students' needs and requirements. I begin with describing the meaning, purpose, and approaches to history answering basic questions like what is the need of studying history when we can instead look at the future! I use a step-by-step method to craft my course into a story-like narrative sparking curiosity among young minds.
Be it American, Chinese, Japanese, Indian or European History, or Modern World History, you name it! I am an expert in South Asian History but my interests reach far and wide. The world is an interconnected space and I will make sure that my students understand the basics of history to tackle with contemporary issues more efficiently..and also ace their exams!

My name is Bako and I am a very hard-working individual. As a student who struggled for years to get good grades, I know the struggle and pain. However, I was willing to change my life around and so can you. I am so passionate in helping others because I am certain that my way of teaching will definitely help students who are determined to aim for the high grades.

However, that's why I am here to change that and for certain guarantee those high grades which all you students want. My question to you; How determined are you to change?

As a year 12 student who's just finished GCSE, I can vouch and argue that I know all the tips and tricks to get grade 9s in History and Religious Education.

This class is designed for children and beginners who are interested in learning Chinese (Mandarin). We will focus on developing basic speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills through fun and interactive activities.

In addition to language learning, I also introduce stories from Chinese history, legends, and traditional culture to make the lessons engaging and meaningful. Students will not only learn how to use Chinese in daily life but also gain a deeper understanding of China’s rich cultural background.

Whether your goal is to improve Mandarin communication or explore Chinese history, I will adapt the class to your level and interests.
