University Theology and Religious Studies Tuition

University-level Religious Studies and Theology is an opportunity to grapple with some of the biggest questions about the divine. Is there a solution to the problem of evil? How have scholars across the world read the Book of Job? How can we study indigenous religions respectfully?

We offer personal tuition to support your degree. We also specialise in rare and niche topics like Himalayan religions and religious syncretism, so whatever your university module combination, it’s very likely we can help you out!

Meet Your Tutor

As part of her academic research, Dr. Jane Orton has done fieldwork and published in academic journals on major religions: Buddhism, Bön and indigenous religions in the Himalayas and Islam, Hinduism and Munda religion in the Sundarbans of Bangladesh. This means that your tutorials will be full of fascinating examples and case studies from across the world!

Jane’s research Masters’ at Oxford University focused on Tibetan Buddhist narratives as well as other religions in the Himalayas. Philosophy (in which she has a PhD) is a big part of Religious Studies and Theology and Jane also has over fifteen years’ experience in tutoring this. Jane also has university level exam marking experience and has designed and taught courses at the University of Edinburgh. You can listen to her academic papers and presentations on our research page, or read her blog posts about her exciting fieldwork in the Himalayas and in the Sundarbans mangrove forest.

“Jane has been key to my son achieving his 2:1 @ Durham university. Jane is incredibly skilled at unlocking potential to ensure ideas are turned into excellent written work. Jane is thoughtful and encouraging in her approach to tutoring. She strives to get the best from students encouraging good levels of debate.”

- Lorraine

“I’ve been fortunate to have Jane through my A levels and Degree while studying at school and Durham University. I’ve been provided with amazing resources and opportunities to grow my knowledge that has helped me enormously through my courses thanks to Jane’s work and dedication. I would highly recommend anyone to use her wide range of expertise as it will definitely be of great use!”

Jane says:

“Quite often students are surprised to find how quickly sessions go by and how much material we’ve covered in the time we’ve spent together.

We might spend one session focusing on content for a particular topic, followed by another session devoted to essay planning, feedback and what examiners are looking for. Our tutorials will be geared towards what you need to know for your exams, but we won’t lose sight of what makes your topic exciting.”

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 regular supervision. We provide regular or ad hoc personal tuition on topics in most areas of the humanities, including History, Philosophy, Politics, International Relations, Religious Studies, Theology, Anthropology, Folklore, Area Studies, Classics and Ancient History. You will receive personalised tuition with trained academics, enhancing your understanding of the course material through fun and rigorous discussion. In addition, we will give you in-depth, individual feedback on your essays, close progress monitoring and personalised attention from academic experts. Contact us to get started.

Many students feel intimidated by the thought of doing their own library-based or fieldwork research with minimal supervision from their university. We will help you to explore ideas for your dissertation topic, through one-on-one tutorials on your chosen subject. We will also provide feedback on drafts and ideas, and talk through academic debates, project structure 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 stand on your own feet and produce a dissertation of which you can be proud. Contact us to get started.

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 commencing 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 and ad hoc tutorials. Our online foundation courses can be tailored to your specific university and degree course, including History, Philosophy, Politics, International Relations, Religious Studies, Theology, Anthropology, Folklore, Area Studies, Classics and Ancient History. One-on-one Oxbridge-style tuition allows you to enhance your understanding of the course material through fun and rigorous discussion with trained academics. Contact us for a free consultation session to find out more.

Universities in the United Kingdom welcome international students from all over the world and benefit enormously from their diverse viewpoints and talents. For these students, studying in the UK can be both exciting and daunting: the emphasis on independent learning and analytical argument can be challenging for people who have previously experienced other styles of education at school. We offer pre-university foundation level courses or ad hoc tutorials to prepare international students for undergraduate study and can offer ongoing support throughout your degree. Our online tuition can be tailored to your specific university and degree course, including History, Philosophy, Politics, International Relations, Religious Studies, Theology, Anthropology, Folklore, Area Studies, Classics and Ancient History. Contact us for a free consultation session to find out more.
