About Irene
Experienced tutor specialising in university admissions, politics, political economy and international relations. I support applicants preparing for competitive university admissions, including personal statements, admissions tests, interviews and academic writing. I teach A Level and university students, and have experience teaching undergraduate students at the London School of Economics.
Alongside teaching, I have worked across government, think tanks and academia, which allows me to connect academic ideas to contemporary political and institutional issues. I aim to make demanding material clear, structured and engaging, while helping students develop confidence in their own thinking and communication.
Part of my own education was in French and Chinese, so I understand the additional challenges faced by students studying complex subjects in a second language. I have experience working with both UK and international students.
I can support students with subject understanding, essay writing, dissertations, exam preparation, university admissions and building long-term academic confidence.
Education:
BA Law, University of Oxford
MA Legal and Political Theory, UCL
LLM International Law, LSE
PhD in Law, LSE”

My teaching is shaped around the level, goals and learning style of each student. I focus on breaking difficult concepts into manageable parts, showing how topics connect to one another, and using current affairs, historical examples and practical cases to make theory easier to grasp and remember.
I also encourage students to see politics and economics historically. Institutions and systems can appear fixed or natural when taught in abstract terms, but understanding how they developed through conflict, political choices and social change can make difficult topics much clearer and more engaging.
Alongside subject knowledge, I help students develop confidence in discussion, essay writing and independent judgement. Strong academic work is not only about memorising content, but about learning how to think clearly, form persuasive arguments and communicate ideas effectively.
I can also support exam technique, coursework, dissertations and university admissions preparation. Having studied at Oxford, UCL and LSE, I can offer practical guidance on navigating demanding academic environments and competitive applications.
