Maria P.

I'm a postgraduate from UCL where my specialism was in Intellectual History. Whilst my primary specialism is history there is a huge amount of overlap with English literature and wider philosophy. Literature can tell us so much about the past and what people valued, and it's a great introduction into critical theory and understanding how academia can approach the world in different ways. I began my undergraduate programme in History at UCL in 2018, where I quickly discovered a love of intellectual history. This field was a perfect synthesis about everything I loved in school about studying literature, history, and philosophy. Having achieved a First in my BA I continued studying, graduating with a Distinction in my MA in January 2024.

Subjects (Both up to A-Level): Maths Computer Science / ICT Languages: English Preferred Age Group: year 7+ Hello! My name is Robin. I am friendly and caring person who enjoys teaching people how to overcome difficulties in different subjects. I am very into technology / computers and I also play the drums in my free time.

Previous Tutoring experience with Tutoring a small group of students from years 4 to 6 in both English and Maths.

I started tutoring during my first year of university and absolutely loved it! I am a bit older now (and hopefully wiser), currently undergoing training to become a commercial pilot. I graduated from the University of Nottingham (Politics and International Relations) with First Class Honours with the Academic Excellence Award. I know how to write and structure a first-class piece of academic work (and arguably more importantly a bad one!). Just get in touch and I can help with anything you might be struggling with. I am a patient and engaging tutor and always work hard to improve a student’s confidence as well as their underlying knowledge. Exam technique is crucial for securing the top grades and I dedicate a lot of time to making sure my student knows how to answer a question in the correct manner. Outside of tutoring, I love sport and play football, golf and tennis.
