About Ollie

I have degrees in Ancient and Modern History (BA, first class) and Creative Writing (postgraduate, distinction), both at the University of Oxford. I am currently studying for a PhD at King's College London, while working as a committed and enthusiastic private tutor. As of November 2022, I have completed over a thousand paid hours of tutoring.

I can explain things clearly and communicate my interest in many different subjects, while getting to know each pupil and tailoring my approach especially for them. I would be particularly keen to tutor the 11+, or my three favourite subjects at GCSE or A-level: English, Medieval History and Ancient History. I also offer courses in modern television drama, which I find fascinating and a lot more academically engaging than most people expect; and a related course in The Wire and Sociology.

I have full documentation; my most recent DBS check dates from March 2019. I went to Eton College - where I earned three A-level A*s, a short-Pre-U Distinction 3 and ten A*s at GCSE - so I am a big fan of this site because I like the idea of giving something back, to help make sure that everybody has the chance of a great education.

I prefer to tutor in person, and would be very happy to discuss Covid19 precautions and social distancing before the first lesson. It is my priority to make sure that you and your child are comfortable and safe.

About the lesson

My lessons are always tailored to each individual pupil, but the same tutoring philosophy applies to all of them. I aim to engage the pupils so that they enjoy my lessons rather than finding them a chore, as this is the best way to get them to learn. I find this works best in 90-minute lessons. Once I've got a pupil interested in the topic, I mix fun lesson aspects with more formal work and encourage them to develop both their strengths and their weaknesses. Positive reinforcement, and nurturing their keenness to do well, are key. The improvement in their confidence is as valuable as the improvement in their learning.

Perfect! Fabulous tutor
My son had his second lesson with Ollie yesterday and asked if Ollie could come twice a week, that's how much he enjoys his lessons. Ollie in my opinion is incredible. He engages Nima from the beginning and covers a great deal of material in the 90 minutes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ollie to others.
Subject : English
Outcome : Have rebooked further lessons.

Ollie has been a brilliant tutor for our son who is 9 years old and looking to do his 11+ exams in January. From the very first session Ollie and my son bonded well and he has been able to make learning fun and interesting for him. He looks forward to his sessions with Ollie and has even asked me why his school teachers cannot be more like Ollie who makes learning a wonderful experience.

Ollie provided me with valuable help when applying to Oxford for History. He challenged my perspectives but also guided me in a friendly and enthusiastic manner. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of interview and admissions test help, particularly for Oxford as he is a recent graduate and understands the system well.
