About Robert
I am a recent grad of Brasenose College, Oxford, where I studied History. I have since been working at Eton College in the History department and (more recently) as the College's Filmmaker-in-Residence.
At Eton, I am part of a 3 person team working with History Oxbridge applicants three times a week, advising on every step of the admissions process. This has included advice on personal statements, marking History Aptitude Tests, and carrying out mock-Oxbridge interviews for both the Eton students and applicants from other schools. Of the year 2017/18, we received more Oxbridge offers than any other department in the school.
On top of my normal teaching commitments at Eton, I ran a weekly series of essay clinics for GCSE and Pre-U students, advising them on structure and content. Outside of the classroom, I have also tutored extensively for GCSEs, A-Levels and Pre-U across a wide range of subjects and ages.
My tutoring method is to allow the student to engage with the material on their own terms and form their own opinions rather than being told an answer, as a capability for independent thought is the most crucial aspect of university level History (as well as one of the least taught at a secondary level). I am happy to tutor specifically for exams or otherwise, but my focus is always on giving the student the tools to work out an answer for themselves rather than explaining the answer to them.

Tutored me in history for 2 months; I found Robbie to be kind, friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and very patient with me! Left each session having felt that I'd come on in leaps and bounds through his precise, measured, and personally-tailored approach.
