PhD in Physics from the University of Oxford
I am Connor Lacroix. After completing my PhD in Physics from the University of Oxford, I embarked on a rewarding teaching journey that has spanned over two decades. I started as a lecturer at Northwood University, where I taught advanced physics courses for nearly seven years. My interest in nuclear physics led me to collaborate with research teams at Oxford, and I've co-authored several papers on particle interactions. In the last 14 years, I've been teaching A-level physics at Hillcrest High, helping students bridge the gap between high school and university-level physics. Additionally, I've conducted workshops at national and international physics conferences, ensuring I remain updated with the latest in the field.
My teaching method is straightforward: make physics relatable. I believe in breaking down complex theories into digestible bits using everyday examples. This approach not only makes the subject less intimidating but also shows its applicability in our daily lives. In my lessons, I integrate demonstrations, experiments, and discussions to keep students engaged. Regular quizzes help in assessing understanding, and I always allocate time for revision, ensuring that the students are well-prepared for their exams. Open communication is encouraged, and I am always available to address any doubts or provide extra help when needed.
Connor’s teaching style is unlike any I've encountered. There's a clear emphasis on experiential learning, which can be interesting. However, after three months, I felt like we barely scratched the surface of the syllabus. The sessions sometimes felt more like science appreciation rather than rigorous A-level prep.
I appreciate the depth he goes into, but sometimes it feels a bit too much for a single session. Still, I've learned a lot!
PhD in Ancient Greek Mythology
My commitment has always been to place students at the center of their learning. Furthermore, community outreach is a highlight of my career. By collaborating with local schools and organizations, I've broadened the scope of Classical Greek education and instilled an appreciation for this ancient language and culture. I believe that my teaching experience coupled with my community-driven initiatives would serve any student well.
When it comes to tutoring Classical Greek, I take the power of interactive teaching methods. This ensures students remain active participants in their learning. By utilizing tools such as critical discussions, textual analysis, and exercises, I urge students to ask questions and seek connections. Additionally, I stress clear communication. I make it a priority to ensure that every concept is explained perfectly, allowing students to grasp the language and its associated mythology.
Amelia is a great Classical Greek tutor and I would recommend her to students who are taking this subject in their school. She’s very patient — which anyone that takes a language needs – and it’s very easy to practice conversations, which is also a huge perk. I highly recommend her.
I recommend Amelia to anyone who is trying to learn Classic Greek. She's so warm and patient. Amelia does a wonderful job at explaining language topics. I have taken 4 lessons with her and she has shown the same level of attentiveness in each one.
Amelia is a professional teacher and a very interesting person. I'm a beginner in Classic Greek and I ask a lot of questions. She pays a lot of attention to my confusions and I feel a lot of support from her. I'm thrilled to have Amelia as my first teacher in this subject!

I'm an experienced tutor specializing in Mathematics and Computer Science. For 21+ years, I have been teaching Programming in C and Python, Algorithms, Engineering Mathematics, and Discrete Mathematics.
My lessons always have a supportive environment where students can ask questions and raise concerns. Add math requires extra attention and I am here to explain and give time until the student gets all concepts.
Mphil in Greek Literature and PhD in Greek History
With over two decades of teaching years in my career, time management has become second nature to me. Balancing Classical Greek with students' needs has always been my priority. This helps my students make the most out of our sessions, and enables them to manage their own study time. I've observed that as students grow more organized, their confidence skyrockets. Having walked alongside countless students, I’ve come to value self-assuredness as well.
My background in Greek Literature and History shapes my tutoring approach, allowing me to offer rich insights into the world of Classical Greek. I prioritize student self-assessment at the start of our sessions. This helps us to know their strengths and weaknesses. Furthermore, active listening is also important. I always prioritize understanding my students' perspectives, questions, and concerns. By doing so, I ensure they feel seen and heard, making our interactions rewarding. When students know their input is valued, they are more inclined to participate deeply with the material.
Penelope is a great teacher! Extremely knowledgeable, super polite, and the lessons are always interesting. I highly recommend her as a Classical Greek Tutor.
It is always a pleasure to learn Classical Greek with Penelope. She is very considerate and attentive to details. I love the way she takes care of my issues with the language and helps me to fix them. Apart from her professionalism, she is also a joyful person. Highly recommended!
Highly recommend Penelope as a language teacher. I'm enjoying my lessons a lot. Our sessions are always very smooth and interesting. I always look forward to the next lesson. Penelope is very good at teaching. I can easily apply and remember her knowledge. With Penelope, you will learn the Classical Greek language and have fun!

Doctorate degree in English literature
My Doctorate in English literature has taught me a lot about the subject and teaching methods. I've also taught disabled students. Plus, my participation in professional programs has allowed me to stay updated with the latest teaching techniques. My involvement in study abroad programs has given me the ability to teach a global student base.
I add gamified learning elements into my sessions. This approach not only makes lessons fun, but also helps in information retention. I strongly believe in the principle of learning by teaching others. Often, I encourage students to explain concepts to their peers or even to me. This not only reinforces their understanding, but also boosts their confidence. Every student's goal is unique, and I ensure that my teaching strategies help them achieve those goals.
I always love spending every minute studying with Mr. Finnegan. He inspires me because he has the passion of a young teacher in him. Stay blessed sir.
Sir Finnegan is a truly devoted teacher who actually cares for his tutees. He is always patient, on time, well-prepared, and the sessions are very immersing. Finnegan really helped me to achieve my academic goals. I highly recommend booking a lesson with him. Thank you for your guidance.
Doctoral degree in English Composition
Over my 21-year teaching career, I've taught pupils online for the past 8 years. This online exposure has given me the ability to communicate literary concepts in a virtual setting. Besides teaching, I’ve participated in curriculum development, ensuring that it remains relevant and effective for tutees. Additionally, I've facilitated several educational workshops to elevate teaching standards.
I believe in using modern tools and methods to make learning effective. This includes using visualizations and infographics, which have proven to be a powerful way of simplifying literary topics. I’m also an advocate of inquiry-based learning. Instead of just passing information, I encourage my students to ask questions, provoking thought and promoting understanding. Lastly, concept-mapping is a regular feature in my sessions. It helps students connect ideas, ensuring they see the bigger picture.

A great teacher who never cancels sessions, uses helpful study materials, gives constructive feedback, and doesn’t forget to have a laugh in long sessions. Harvey has very good pronunciation and always explains whenever I am confused. I definitely recommend Harvey. So happy to be coached by him.
Sir Harvey assigns overwhelming amounts of homework sometimes.
