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.
I was awarded 7A*'s and 10A's at GCSE and 4 As at A Level in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry.

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.
