About Raphael

Hi I'm Raphael. I'm currently completing a Master's in Economics at the University of Oxford, having previously earned a First in PPE from Exeter University with a Dean's Commendation. Over the past four years, I've worked with students across A-level and university level, helping them improve their essays, refine their arguments, and approach complex ideas with confidence.

I specialise in academic writing for Economics, Politics and Philosophy, with a particular focus on essays and dissertations. I achieved a mark of 83% in my undergraduate Economics dissertation, placing me in the top 2% of students. Across my degree, I consistently scored between 70–85% in essays - and have written and edited hundreds throughout my studies.

My approach is practical, rigorous, and tailored to each student’s needs - whether you're trying to secure a top grade on a paper, strengthen your writing skills, or build confidence in your ideas. I can also support students preparing for Oxbridge or other top-tier UK university applications.

I only work with a small number of students at a time, so sessions are focused, flexible, and built around your goals. If you'd like to chat before booking, feel free to reach out!

About the lesson

Every student learns differently — and I believe that with the right support, anyone can make great progress.

I take time to understand where you are starting from and what you want to achieve. Together, we’ll set clear goals and work step by step towards them, at a pace that suits you.

For GCSE and A-Level students, I focus on mastering the syllabus, understanding how to tackle exam questions, and building the confidence to perform at your best.

For dissertation support, I offer help with structuring your ideas, developing arguments, refining your writing, and approaching your project with clarity and confidence.

For language learners (French, English), lessons combine structured grammar and vocabulary work with lots of conversation practice to help you feel comfortable speaking and understanding the language.

Above all, my aim is to make each lesson enjoyable, engaging, and tailored to help you succeed — whether that means boosting your grades, building confidence, or mastering new skills.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to hear from you — feel free to get in touch!

I had my first lesson with Caspar and it was a really positive experience. He’s engaged, polite, and asked great questions throughout. Even in just one session it was clear that he’s motivated to learn and keen to get the most out of the time. Looking forward to seeing his progress in future lessons!

I can’t recommend Raphael enough! I was really struggling with how to structure my dissertation and wasn’t sure if my arguments were strong enough. Raphael was brilliant at helping me organise my ideas and gave really clear, honest feedback on my writing.

He also helped me think more critically about the material, which massively improved the overall quality of my work. The sessions were always friendly and supportive — I never felt judged for asking questions.

In the end I was really proud of my dissertation and got a great result. If you need help with yours, definitely get in touch with Raphael!

I worked with Raphael while writing my undergraduate dissertation in Economics, and he was a huge help. He is a strong communicator and has a sharp mind!

He really took the time to understand what I was trying to achieve and gave clear, practical advice on how to structure my arguments and improve my analysis.

His feedback on my drafts was always constructive and encouraging, and I definitely felt more confident going into the final submission. I ended up getting a grade I was really happy with.

I’d absolutely recommend Raphael to any university student looking for support with their dissertation - he makes a stressful process much more manageable!

Raphael has been a fantastic tutor for my son over the past few months. He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable but also very patient and approachable — my son always looked forward to the lessons, which is saying a lot!

Raphael was great at explaining things clearly and helping build my son’s confidence, especially in subjects he used to find difficult. We really noticed the difference in both his understanding and his grades.

I would highly recommend Raphael to any parent looking for a supportive and reliable tutor. He genuinely cares about his students and makes learning a really positive experience.
