Oskar

Oskar studied Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge, encountering disciplines from politics to psychology and history, and went on to an MSc in Law and Anthropology at the London School of Economics. At school in West Sussex he was a deputy head of house and school prefect.

Oskar worked at the Department for Education, advising schools on how to improve and collaborate, and volunteered with a charity mentoring children from under-represented communities. He then taught History at Rugby School to students aged 13 to 18, and as a pastoral tutor in a boarding house helped sixth formers with their university and UCAS applications, including to Oxbridge. His teaching experience began with teaching music to disabled students in Romania and teaching English and Maths to young children on Saturdays.

Oskar begins with an assessment of each student’s strengths and weaknesses and agrees a personalised improvement plan with them. With younger students he teaches proven techniques for analysis and exams, and shows how museums, galleries and books can help them grow as thinkers. With older students he builds independent study skills through clear structure, modelling and detailed feedback, and encourages them to go beyond the syllabus.
