GCSE & A Level Humanities subjects: English Literature, History, Philosophy, Politics

From 54.61 € /h

I have 600+ hours of experience as a tutor, studied English at Oxford, have a Masters in Philosophy and I’m a historical novelist.

I help students at GCSE & A Level who are struggling with humanities subjects ahead of their exams. I have worked with students of all abilities and aptitudes, my priority is making sure they understand the subject, what the work is asking them to provide and can deliver it appropriately.

Most of all, I understand that struggling at school can be frustrating or intimidating so I do my best to ensure that learning feels relaxed and fun.

About Me

I’m a novelist, currently also a neuroscience grad student with a former life as a corporate executive at Accenture. I write forgotten histories about communities overlooked across time. My first book In the Palace of Flowers was set in Iran, named one of Times Radio’s top 5 books of the year, a Harvard special recommendation and named to African Arguments’ Best Books of 2021. My last essay for Granta was declared Best of the Literary Internet by LitHub and endorsed by Pen/Faulkner.

The “forgotten” is a central facet of my life and work. Tutoring is about focusing and attending to students who need more support that they are receiving in their class or have ambitions that cannot be catered to in the classroom, or are not able to access a traditional classroom. My tutoring practice is thus centred on the comfort, ease and needs of the student. I prioritise making them feel seen, visible, dignified because that is when their confidence and capabilities will shine. It is in these settings that they begin to thrive.

Education

My degrees in order. I began my academic career at Oxford University, MA Oxon in English Language and Literature.

KCL MSc in Neuroscience — currently ongoing

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

The SAT is a landmark exam for many high school students. A good exam score can be instrumental in college admissions. This course is designed to provide students with resources to set a goal score, make a study plan, and feel confident on test day. I got a 1530 on my most recent SAT, and I am dedicated to uplifting students to and beyond that score.
I can help specifically with the English and Math multiple choice parts of the exam. With students I will cover both content, the information being tested on the exam, and testing strategies, how to more efficiently and effectively take the test. The essay portion of the SAT has mostly been discontinued, so I don't cover it when tutoring for the exam.

Hi! I'm a professional musician based in Vienna, with experience performing on international cruise ships.

I have a native-level command of Russian and speak English fluently.

I believe the best way to learn a language is through real conversation — no stiff textbooks, no pressure,
just genuine communication in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Whether you're an absolute beginner taking your very first steps, a professional looking to sharpen your target language, or a teenager wanting to sound more natural — I tailor every lesson to you.

Why learn Russian?
Russian language is one the most spoken languages in the world - and one of the most underrated to learn.
It covers over 250 million people across Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and many other countries.
It opens the door to one of the richest literary and artistic traditions in human history.
It helps people connect, whether it's a professional or personal realm.

Why learn Russian with me?

My sessions are flexible, fun, and always focused on building your confidence.
Living between cultures and languages my whole life has taught me how daunting — and how rewarding — learning a new language can be. I get it, and I'm here to make the journey easier.
