About Anna
I have a long held interest in the philosophy of education, the benefit of which is felt by my students as they transform into self-directed learners, flourishing in their subjects and forging an educational journey of their own.
I strongly believe that every person is a great thinker, learner and creator, and is ready to enjoy being so as part of their greater flourishing in life. It takes only the right teaching for this truth to become manifest.
Beyond academia, I am big lover of music; am building a new zine on art and politics; and have recently taken up skateboarding!

Methodology:
My teaching methodology is all about active thinking. By encouraging the student to take an active role in their own learning, I ensure that each session is tailored to their unique learning journey, and that they gain the skills and confidence needed to become independent thinkers for life. This means encouraging students to present what they understand on topics, learn to self-identify gaps in their knowledge, talk through their thought processes aloud, and be always asking questions. I have found this to result in highly effective, engaging and enjoyable lessons.
Taking an active thinking approach becomes particularly important in tutoring for University Admissions, where a high level of independent thinking is sought after. The first of the admissions criteria for studying PPE at Oxford is a "capacity for sustained study, motivation and interest, an independent and reflective approach to learning". And this is not one of Oxford's idiosyncrasies, but a universal identifier for student success in Higher Education and a common criterium in all University Admissions.
Qualifications and experience:
- Philosophy, Politics and Economics BA, in progress.
- A Levels: Further Mathematics, Mathematics, English Literature, A*A*A*.
- Teaching experience: I have worked with SEND students; a range of groups sizes (from one-to-one to 30 student classes) and a range of age groups (from year one to OAPs and including GCSE and A Level students).
Key information:
- Lessons are usually an hour long although this is flexible.
- Currently on a gap year, so will be tutoring in Sheffield and online for the next year.
- I have completed a recent safeguarding training and have an enhanced DBS check.
Sessions offered:
1. Choosing your degree and pre-personal statement study support.
2. Writing your personal statement.
3. Interview preparation.
4. Mock interviews with feedback.
5. TSA support (other admission tests may be available).
Two sessions on each area is recommended and a full support package of 10 sessions can be offered for a reduced rate.
Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Anna’s a good teacher who excels at making complicated topics seem simple. She’s skilled at maths, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!
Anna is phenomenally intelligent but more than that is her ability to engage students through her active approaches to learning. Highly recommend
