About Charlotte

Hi! My name is Charlotte Maple and I am an Oxford History/ Ancient History DPhil (PhD) student, Oxford Masters graduate (Distinction/First Class) and BA Graduate (High 2.1), double Blue in Football and Cricket, and experienced A-level, GCSE and Oxbridge admissions tutor, who knows the Oxbridge admissions process and Exam Board Spec inside and out and wants to help your child achieve their goals! I am more specifically a Roman History 'nerd', with a passion for outreach, sports and History at Oxford (BleedDarkBlue).

Outside of Oxbridge, I have an impressive set of A-level and GCSE results. I have just completed a year training to be a secondary school teacher, teaching KS3 and KS4 History/English on a 25-hour fortnight timetable, therefore, I come with genuine teaching experience and a good knowledge of teaching and learning techniques. I love working with kids, I am DBS verified and have completed the latest National College Safeguarding Training. I would be a capable tutor for students of all abilities in History, Maths, English Literature and German, having tutored students in these subjects since 2022, at KS3, KS4 and KS5.

Coming from a state school in the Southwest with no previous Oxbridge Alumni, I understand the limitations facing students applying from the state sector. I use my experiences and the experiences of my Oxford peers to the advantage of my students, for example, I was the Oxbridge Admissions Tutor for Huish Episcopi Academy from 2024-2025, delivering tailored workshops to year 12 students to help write the perfect personal statement and prepare for interviews. As a student at Oxford, 4/4 students from the Southwest whom I tutored in the summer of my first year received offers from Oxford the following January.

I have, for the last 4 years, been studying for 2 degrees in Ancient History at the University of Oxford which has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. I have since graduated from the BA in Ancient and Modern History with a high 2.1 and the MSt in Roman History with a Distinction (First). Now, I am continuing my studies as a DPhil student in Ancient History with the eventual goal of beginning a career in Academia and HE. I have studied a broad range of history in detail, from the early Roman Republic to Modern British History. My speciality is Roman history, having studied the Roman world from republic to empire extensively. I have been through the Oxford admissions process successfully 3 times, so you could say I know the Oxford admissions process very well.

I play Blues Cricket and Football at Oxford, and am the first woman in Oxford's History to hold a Full Blue in both sports, so I know much about the need for time management at Uni, and the benefits of competitive sports alongside rigorous study!

I have been an ambassador for my college, Lady Margaret Hall, (the first college to accept women at Oxford/coolest college at Oxford) for 3 years during my undergraduate degree and the president of the Lady Margaret Hall History society from 2021-2022, so I'm personable and genuinely like talking to and meeting new people!

I remember how daunting, mysterious and impossible the Oxbridge admissions process seemed to me when I was applying in 2019 and I want to help bust a few myths for aspiring students. I want to show all students regardless of background that Oxbridge has a place for them if they want it, and that they can ace any test, interview or exam they'll need to face to get there!

Can't wait to get started and meet some aspiring students! Feel free to get in touch!

Charlotte :D

The focus of my lessons will be on small group, preferably 1-1 teaching, aimed at allowing my students to gain an extensive knowledge of their subject, and the skills to ace their exams and university admissions tests.

The best way to get better at something is to practice. My tutoring offers students a unique experience through my philosophy aimed at the in depth understanding of exam questions, past papers and concepts in an easy and encouraging way.

How do I understand what exam questions really want from me? How can I structure an essay for any subject to argue a cogent point effectively? How can I ace my GCSE and A-Level examinations? How will I pass my Oxbridge interview or admissions tests? How can I prepare myself for the jump to degree level study? These questions will be answered through my lessons for any student looking to excel in their academics.

A typical online lesson would last an hour, making full use of past papers, warm up exercises, and timed practice within each session.

Having completed a degree in BA Ancient and Modern History at Oxford and gaining an offer for Oxford postgraduate study also, it is safe to say I know the oxbridge admissions system inside and out. My time as an A level student studying Maths, English literature, German and History saw an impressive set of results to allow me to take up my place at Oxford in the 2020/2021 academic year.

My experience as a tutor at my local sixth form is evidenced by the fact that of the 3 students I tutored who applied to Oxford in the 2021/22 academic year, all three gained places for humanities subjects achieving all A's minimum at A-level. This success was continued in the 2022/23 academic year with a further 2 students gaining places at Oxbridge through my interview admissions knowledge and essay advice for A level revision.

I can teach GCSE 9-1 spec, A Level and oxbridge admissions level students of all abilities. Any student looking to improve is welcome!

I look forward to meeting prospective students!

Charlotte :)
