Our Tutors
Tristan
Geography, University College London (UCL) & qualified teacher.
“I afford the time to build a genuinely meaningful relationship with a student – and it is this aspect of small group tuition that I most enjoy. Children in particular deserve to be guided, challenged and inspired by an ‘expert’ in their learning journeys. On the journey to developing intrinsic motivation, children should want to please and impress others: their teachers, their parents, or their tutor. Being involved with Clarendon as a private tutor is a true privilege – I enjoy building meaningful relationships with students through which they can progress their understanding, realise their potential and eventually learn to love learning.”
Celine
English Literature, Cambridge University.
“I think having a one-to-one relationship is truly special, for both the tutor and the student. There’s space for so much joy and playfulness in these kinds of smaller teaching sessions, and that leads to huge progress in learning. It means that a student can really be seen and nurtured, which is hugely rewarding as a tutor, to watch them flourish. I personally love making my teaching bespoke, which means building a little world of learning with each individual student.”
Will
Psychology and Philosophy, St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford.
“The development of the student-teacher rapport is the most important part of tutoring . Building the student’s working process and engagement with the content is a joyful experience, as you get to motivate and support someone to independently grow their intellect. All students work in different ways, and so being a sounding-board to help the student equip themselves to embark on their academic journey (and beyond) is what fills me with pride.”
