Question 1

For Independent Learners

Accepted Answer

We believe that learning should be exhilarating, empowering and life-long and it is our mission to work with independent learners who wish to pursue an excellent education. Whether you feel that you missed out on an elite, classical education, or whether you wish to supplement the education you received, we offer personal tutoring that is tailored towards your specific needs and availability. You will be able to choose from several options: 
- Choose from one of our pre-written academic courses (tailored to the duration and intensity of your choosing) with the option to request additional content or combine one or more courses. 
-  Request a course that is specifically designed for you: specify the subject, duration of the course, number of contact hours per week, independent study time and level of difficulty. 
- Request occasional ad hoc tutorials on the subject of your choosing. 
- Intellectual sparring sessions can be incorporated into any of our courses or commissioned independently. These are designed to sharpen your ability to develop and defend an argument, examine the arguments of others on an equal footing – regardless of respective levels of education – and to scrutinise your own ideas.

Question 3

Undergraduate and Masters' Level Tuition

Accepted Answer

University is a time of great intellectual independence and an opportunity to specialise in the subjects you love, but it can be intimidating to work without the more regular supervision you receive at school. We can provide regular or ad hoc personal tuition on topics in most areas of the humanities, including History, Philosophy, Politics, Religious Studies, Anthropology, Folklore, Area Studies, Classics and Ancient History. You will receive feedback on essay drafts and ideas, content-based tutorials and general support and encouragement in developing your research and writing skills. We are happy to work with undergraduates or masters' students who wish to explore ideas for their dissertation topic, and to get you up to speed on academic debates, project structuring and methodology.
We believe that you are very capable of doing an excellent job and we will not do your work for you or engage in any other unethical practice that amounts to cheating. Instead, we will work with you to enable you to produce your own great quality work. Contact us (https://www.ortonacademy.co.uk/contact-8)to get started.

Question 4

Preparation for University

Accepted Answer

The excitement of starting a university course can sometimes be overshadowed by feelings of apprehension, but we believe that students should feel confident in their abilities when starting a degree. For students on a gap year or those wanting to use the summer holiday to prepare for undergraduate study, we offer pre-university foundation level courses, or ad hoc tutorials. This will involve one-on-one Oxbridge-style tuition with trained academics, enhancing your understanding of the course material through fun and rigorous discussion. Contact us (https://www.ortonacademy.co.uk/contact-8)for a free consultation session to find out more.

Question 5

A Level Tuition

Accepted Answer

A Levels can be a fantastic opportunity for students to explore their favourite topics in greater depth than in earlier schooling and to develop their powers of argument and independent thought. However, some students may require a little more support or out-of-the-box thinking to help them through their studies. Our tutors specialise in working with students who require a more personalised approach to learning. We aim to tutor in a way that builds confidence, engaging students by relating their studies to what is currently going on in the field.
We provide private tuition in the humanities, including History, Philosophy, Critical Thinking, Politics, Religious Studies, Theology, Anthropology, Classics and Ancient History, covering all UK exam boards (AQA, EDEXCEL, OCR, CCEA, SQA and WJEC). All of our tutors have at least ten years of A Level tutoring experience and exam marking, have been fully DSB checked and have undergone child safeguarding training. Contact us (https://www.ortonacademy.co.uk/contact-8)to find out more about A Level tuition.

Question 6

Oxbridge/University Interview Preparation

Accepted Answer

University interviews are a fantastic opportunity to showcase your abilities to your prospective institution. We will work with you to build confidence for the big day, put your mind at ease and to help you bring out the best in what you have to offer.
