Xin Fan

Oxford University graduate, BA History (high 2.i). Before that, 4 A*s at A-level and 11 A*s at GCSE from my local state school. When I'm not tutoring, I'm practicing at a top City law firm. On top of legal experience, I also did work placements during university at national newspapers, the BBC, and the civil service. My interests are wide. At school, I considered going into medicine - my A-levels were in Maths, Chemistry, History and English Literature. Students facing big decisions at 11, 14, 16 and 18 have my complete sympathy - I still recall how crucial those choices felt, and how important it was to ace those 11+, GCSE and A-level exams. Good, personally-dedicated teaching built my confidence for success and with this in mind, I hope I can, in turn, help you build yours. I tutor History, English, secondary school and university admissions. To date I have helped pupils at GCSE and A level, advised sixth formers applying to Oxford, and proofread personal statements for university applicants. I have also had pastoral experience supporting groups of younger children varying in age from nursery to primary. I have worked for half a year as a school assistant in Germany, and tutored students there for TOEFL and CAE exams - so I welcome requests relating to English as a foreign language, too. I'd be more than happy to consider other enquiries as well, especially about humanities subjects in general. I like to have a sense of where a student is going before taking them on, so please do send me a message to discuss you or your child's needs, together with any questions you might have. I will try to answer within a couple of hours. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I hope to have the pleasure of hearing from you.
