Oxford Tutor's Qualifications

School

I was awarded a general entry scholarship at the age of 12 to the public Reeds School, Cobham and also a Science scholarship at the age of 16.

University

I studied for a Masters in Engineering and Computer Science at Oxford University (St Anne's College) and graduated in 2003 with a 1st Class Degree and was ranked 3rd in the year.
I was awarded a Scholarship during my 4th year which was also sponsored by a Governmental Department.
I then spent over a year in Japan on another Scholarship from Oxford University where I learnt Japanese and taught English both in schools and privately.

Employment

Returning to the UK in 2004 I started tuition for several tuition agencies and also founded a successful web development company HineSystems.com utilising my own very powerful 'website engine' platform I have developed and coded.

CRB License

I hold a CRB license (Disclosure Number 001126224619) which means I have been police checked and certified safe to work with children and vulnerable people in a one-on-one environment.

Oxford Tutor Teaching Method

It has been proven that we forget around 80% of the information we are told, especially if the information is not important to us.
My teaching method is to guide my students to figure out the answers to their own problems by connecting information they already know in a logical manner until they themselves arrive at the answer to their own questions.
This method of guided problem solving from first principles not only ensures they will not forget the information, it also boosts their confidence, core understanding and drastically improves their problem solving abilities and hence ability in the given subject area.

Oxford Tutor's Testimonials

Below are a few testimonials from past and current students - please feel free to contact any of them for an individual reference by email or contact Oxford Tutor for their telephone numbers.

"Because English is not my first or second language, I found understanding A level Maths problems in English initially very difficult. However, after just a few lessons I noticed an improvement due to Andy's excellent teaching technique - he will give you time to think and then explain. He can find an individual approach for every student and will motivate you to work hard and appreciate the study skills he teaches."
Aigerim Salim, 21 years old, aigerim.salim@gmail.com , 0750605887
A Level Maths, March 2010

"Helpful because I had to derive the equations myself, therefore understanding the subject better. I will definitely be back next year!"
Arseniy Beliy, 16 years old, arseniy_walters@yahoo.co.uk , 07771752019
A Level Physics (AQA)

"Andy managed to teach me the entirety of three Further Maths Modules in the space of about six months. I feel like I have a better understanding than if I were to be taught in a classroom even though I only did a few hours a week. I think he helped me because he would not simply tell me the answer if I was struggling but make me work it out. (I also got to have lessons in the sunshine in the garden!)"
