About Anthony
⦿ I’m a full-time professional private tutor with a proven track record of helping students succeed. I have well over 10,000 hours of 1-to-1 tuition experience with more than 400 students, and specialise in A-level Economics, Politics, and essay writing.
⦿ Although new to this site, I'm a well-established tutor, with a 5-star rating across numerous reviews on a leading tuition platform. (References and reviews are available on request).
⦿ I’m approachable, knowledgeable, engaging, and empathetic.
⦿ For my A-levels, I studied Economics, English, History, and Politics at Brighton College, before earning a joint honours degree in Politics and Philosophy from Bristol University. I’ve been working as a private tutor ever since and have settled in North London. Outside of my academic interests, I play football a couple of times a week and enjoy reading and traveling during my time off from tutoring.
⦿ I’m Enhanced DBS-checked and have availability for the 2025 exams.
---- My Tutoring Experience ----
Since starting in 2010, I’ve built up well over 10,000 hours of experience in 1-to-1 tuition with more than 400 students. My primary focus has been A-levels, though I also tutor at GCSE and university levels. With in-depth knowledge of the content and a personable, patient approach, I’ve built strong relationships with my students, often supporting them across multiple subjects. Most of my tutoring these days is conducted online, via Zoom.
I’ve worked with students from across the UK (predominantly from London and Brighton) as well as internationally, including Commonwealth countries that use the major UK exam boards. Over this time, I’ve supported a diverse range of students, including those with specific learning challenges, helping them build confidence and overcome difficulties in areas such as academic content, essay-writing, study skills, and motivation. More recently, I’ve also been helping younger students from Hong Kong, Singapore, and China prepare for interviews and 11+/13+ entrance exams to top independent schools such as Wellington, Eton, and Harrow. Throughout these experiences, I’ve provided mentoring support across a range of subjects and skills, along with guidance on choices and admissions for schools, colleges, and universities.
I'm very familiar with all the major exam boards (AQA, OCR, Edexcel, and Cambridge IGCSE) and stay up to date with their specific requirements. I also have plenty of experience helping with academic writing, including general essay writing, history coursework, university research projects, and master’s theses.

---- My Approach to Tutoring ----
Sessions are typically 1 or 1.5 hours, once a week – but really, this is entirely up to you. And I’m generally flexible with scheduling additional ones as needed, especially as exams approach. The structure of our sessions will depend on the individual’s needs, which we’d have an open discussion about in the first meeting. Typically, they will involve some combination of: essay-writing feedback and advice; content coverage, gap-filling, and troubleshooting of problem areas; revision support and tailored recommendations; and focused exam preparation. I can also assign work for students to complete, which we can then review together in the following session.
Over time, I've often been asked to provide general mentoring across multiple subjects, helping with specific topics, study skills, revision strategies, and time-management techniques. My approach is built around patient, directed motivation, with a focus on building rapport and establishing a supportive relationship – especially for students who are feeling overwhelmed by content, essay writing, and exam revision.
In my online sessions, I make full use of whiteboards and screen-sharing to go through past papers, mark schemes, essay feedback, and a wide range of relevant, up-to-date resources. And while I always have my webcam on, students are welcome to go audio-only if they'd prefer. I’m also happy to communicate between sessions both with parents and students via email, phone, WhatsApp, or any other preferred method of contact.
⦿ Content: My focus is on helping students develop a deeper understanding of the material, rather than simply trying to memorise it. My sessions emphasise the use and evaluation of content in real-world contexts, improving how that knowledge is ultimately applied in exams. Through active discussion, questioning, and troubleshooting, I address gaps in knowledge and clarify uncertainties around complex concepts. Sessions can either support ongoing classwork or target specific topics and are always tailored to the exam board’s requirements.
⦿ Essay Writing: I help students improve their essay writing, from planning, structuring and applying knowledge to presenting analysis and evaluation effectively, while also managing time efficiently. My detailed feedback is tailored to the specific requirements of the exam board, ensuring that students can apply it directly to their future work. Sessions will often include comprehensively going over the feedback I've provided on essays, followed by collaboratively planning future essays. This way, students have solid, clear, well-structured essay plans to use for revision, helping them feel more prepared for exams.
⦿ Exam Preparation: Effective exam preparation is fundamental; my goal here is to make the specific requirements of different question formats as transparent as possible. To this end, we’ll go through past papers, mark schemes, and examiner reports together to build familiarity and confidence. I also help students develop effective revision and time-management strategies that prepare them for exam conditions, focusing on structured, engaging learning that builds both subject knowledge and exam technique. Central to my approach is encouragement, alongside creating – and sticking to! – a revision and essay practice schedule, which helps students stay on track and motivated to succeed in their exams.

The sessions were really helpful, with lots of interaction and discussion. They helped fill in gaps from earlier in the first year where I’d missed lessons and gave me loads of motivation and encouragement.
I was really happy with my final grades and getting into my first-choice unis. Anthony was excellent at concentrating on what the examiners actually look for, making sure we spent time on the right things.
He made sure I properly understood diagrams rather than just memorising them, which made a big difference. Some last-minute politics help was also really useful for improving my evaluation and arguments.
Good use of online resources too, keeping things up to date and relevant so it wasn’t just the same examples as everyone else and was actually more interesting as well.Anthony is a very dedicated and friendly tutor and very flexible, which helped a lot with time differences and organising lessons at short notice. He helped my son in English comprehension and writing for ISEB Entrance Exam preparation and with interview practice. He was patient and understanding. My son was always excited for lessons, and Anthony made learning interesting for him and engaging.
He also helped with other subjects like geography and history too. Sometimes I listened in and lessons were always fun and full of energy. Anthony is very good at talking with my son, who doesn’t have English as his first language, and we could see big improvements in his confidence.
In the end, my son was accepted into all the schools he applied for. We are very thankful to him.Anthony tutored my daughter for her history GCSE exams last year. He provided invaluable advice on essay writing especially helping her to get her head around the requirements for analysis and evaluation and the sources paper which she’d been finding quite confusing. They went through mark schemes which I think she found really useful (something they surprisingly didn’t do much of in class at school). His feedback was comprehensive and he always took time to explain areas of difficulty thoroughly. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the topics covered in the course and this inspired and further fueled our daughter's interest in the subject so much that she decided to take it up for her at college which we didn’t expect! I would certainly recommend him to any student needing help. Thank you so much Anthony!
Anthony has provided really excellent tutoring for me, in Economics and Government & Politics, for both AS and A levels. As well as getting thorough preparation for these exams, my sessions with Anthony have given me a wider and deeper understanding - and enjoyment - of these subjects. I have no hesitation in recommending Anthony as being both knowledgeable in his subject areas and an inspiring teacher.
