Tom
Writing and communication specialist
I am a big believer in students setting goals based on the their objectives, setting actionable steps to achieve their goals with them, and working together to execute our plan. Once we get into the work, my values compared to other tutors will skew towards a focus on clarity, impact, economic word usage, and sound narrative storytelling. Most of my interactive experience helping people write better comes from working with authors as an editor. In that world, the priority is on finding t... Read more

John
Oxford University Biologist for tutoring Biology
I'm a British-American nerd who grew up in the UK. I love all things science, especially Biology, which I majored in. I also like to break down complex science into more digestible content for those who do not have a background in science. That's what lead me to become a tutor. Science can seem daunting to some, but it's really not once you break it down! I think the world would be a better place if more people understood how things work, and I love having the chance to be the one to tea... Read more
Martin
Professional Language Tutor
Currently writing my PhD thesis in Philosophy, I've tutored and taught languages and mathematics before at High Schools in Sweden, where I was born. My pedagogical approach to teaching languages is that they must be learned both as systems (e.g. verb conjugations, morphology), and activity (e.g. speaking, reading). I have developed a method to do both of these and also combine them, which has been quite successful. This method means that not only do the students generally pass their tests wit... Read more
