Spencer Greenwood

I am currently studying Exploring science (S104).

Next, I study Human biology (SK277). I read for a BSc (Hons) in Life Sciences.

I studied English Literature for eight months at the University of Leeds, but left for a mixture of personal and intellectual reasons.

At the RGS, I achieved the following A Levels between September 2006 and July 2008.

English Literature		A
Government & Politics		A
History		A

I also achieved the following GCSEs between September 2004 and July 2006.

English Literature		A
English Language		A
History		A
Religious Studies		A
Mathematics		A
French		A
Ancient Greek		B
Double Science		BB

While attending, I organised a number of talks, including the room filler for which I became notorious, Reason vs. Faith: Are Science and Religion Irreconcilable? for the school Philosophy Society, and organised campaigns and productions on behalf of Amnesty International, the school's Food Committee, and its Politics and History societies during my membership of those groups.

Also during my time at the RGS I attended the Royal Russell Model United Nations conference in 2008, representing Denmark and leading the Western world in imposing sanctions on Iran over its escalating nuclear programme and its treatment of minorities including the Baha'i people.

I studied at Yateley Manor.

I studied at the Long Close School, Slough.

At Boots, I work as part of a team responsible for helping optical patients look, see and feel better.

A blog about video games. In connection to my writing, I was mentioned by N'Gai Croal in his Newsweek blog, Level Up and appeared on the Brainy Gamer podcast.

I first aped others, then moralized tritely. Under the influence of greater lights, the blog became something I am proud of. I will write it for the foreseeable future.

The blog's design focusses on content, to draw attention to my ideas.

A blog about liberal ethics. I wrote articles and filmed videos, engaging with a community of activists.

I tutor A Level humanities in the Guildford and Farnham area.

I sang bass in a barbershop octet comprising George Badham, Tim Coombes, Steffan Griffiths, Aidan Heald, James Hellier and Ollie Tonks, and formed, disciplined and otherwise arranged by the attentive and often exasperated direction of James Whittle. We sang such favourites as Barbara Ann, My Evaline and Baby on Board.

It was a privilege to sing with you, boys. Let's do it again sometime.

I was a founding member of an award-winning Young Enterprise company. I worked on product design and manufacture, marketing, event management and legal issues.

thinkus won awards at a Surrey based Dragon's Den competition and at the 2007 El Paseo Trade Fair. We became infamous around Guildford for the well attended concerts we organised for local bands.

Being disappointed with my modern history grade in my AS January module where I gained a U, my parents and myself decided it would be appropriate to get a tutor. We found Spencer Greenwood on an online advertising site, and were very pleased with the result.

Although I will not be aware of my grade until August I felt significantly more comfortable sitting the exam and feel the outcome will reflect his work. Spencer has extensive knowledge, more than anyone I have ever met, and I feel this was reflected in my work where I used facts about online politics directly in my exam. Spencer not only taught me facts which gave me a wider view of the subject but he also taught me how to produce a substantial argument and undermine other opinions. We spoke about structure of answers, assessment objectives, planning an argument and developed opinions of all the topics which could come up. He added to my revision significantly, backing up facts with a good substantial argument. I was originally wary of having someone with little tutoring experience, however, Spencer proved himself to be highly intelligent, easy to talk to, prompt and organised. He was always prepared for our lessons and seemed to enjoy teaching and the subjects themselves. I'd highly recommend his tutoring and if I need help with my second year exams I know he would be the first person I'd ask for help.
