About Joshua

Economics, English, Philosophy, Politics, Business Studies - and a few others besides
I am a professional educator with over 5000 hours' teaching experience over a career in private education that began in 2012. I was a full-time Economics and Business Master at Harrow School from 2015-2018. I specialise in the subjects I most enjoy – Politics, Philosophy, Economics and English – and in University Admissions to elite universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and LSE. I have experience preparing students for 11+ Pre-Test, 13+ Common Entrance, GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, IB and Cambridge Pre-U examinations and university admissions tests such as TSA, PAT, MAT and STEP. I have also taught several undergraduates and Master's students in PPE-related disciplines.I hold an MA in PPE from St Benet’s Hall, Oxford, graduating in 2012. I was awarded a research scholarship for my philosophical work at the University of Birmingham in 2013. My work is split evenly between in-person and online. Where desired, I will make every effort to come to you. This is made easier by me driving. The online side of the business has grown recently, and many of my clients are residents in Hong Kong and mainland China. I regularly tutor clients in Russia, Monaco, Korea and Spain. In terms of hours, I am flexible to suit client need.

Thank you for your consideration. If you are interested in booking a slot, please run by your location and preferred time with me first before booking. I travel quite extensively and normally allow for one hour travel between sessions. On occasion I may need to allow longer if my previous client is very far from you. Furthermore, I often have regular slots reserved for clients who have yet to place their booking that week so it's always best to check first. Finally, if you can do week daytime slots (9am-5pm), e.g. for home schooling or study leave, please highlight this in your message.

My philosophy of education is a Platonic one. I believe education creates opportunities. Passing exams is vital. Exam success is a necessary condition for progression through- and success in - the academic system. That said, great education involves much more than acing exams. I feel very grateful to have had some brilliant mentors throughout my academic life. These individuals went well beyond the confines of the syllabus. They showed me how knowledge could be applied, explained how it fitted in with the real-world and put it into context. They taught me intellectual skills of analysis, argument and discernment. They developed character virtues, helping me become a better person. The lessons these mentors taught me are still guiding my conduct to this day. I honour these mentors in my own work, with a strong focus on developing balanced, effective, rigorous individuals over robotic exam-machines. Yes, my students excel in examinations. They also tend to improve in their other subjects too, as a natural by-product of their improved skillset. The strongest endorsement of my approach, however, is the excellence success my students have in further education and beyond.

A little extra background...

I graduated from St Benet’s Hall, Oxford, in 2012. I maintained an interest in all three disciplines, though excelled particularly in philosophy, where I scored the top mark in the year in one of my papers. I won a scholarship to undertake my research in Philosophy at the University of Birmingham in 2013. I began tutoring privately in 2012, and since then have had success I could not have predicted. I have worked with clients across the globe, as a freelancer and for high-profile agencies such as Oxbridge Applications and Winland academy/Sower Education group. I spent three years honing my craft at one of the world’s most prestigious schools, Harrow School (London). My role involved a demanding array of academic, pastoral and sporting responsibilities. As well as teaching, I was a House Tutor in Headmaster’s boarding house and Head of the School Basketball Programme. In these three years, I learnt a huge amount about teaching, mentoring and coaching. Alongside my work at Harrow School, I also took on roles delivering admissions consultancy for non-profit organisations such as Generating Genius and the Lumina Foundation. In 2019 I began work for one of the world's leading education companies, Crimson Education, where I was a full-time Admissions Strategist. During this time I helped over 300 students gain places at their dream universities. At the time of writing (2024) - I hold posts at Hope Agency Cambodia, where I spent the summer teaching and handling operations, and the Institute for the Future of Work, a research organisation where I provide economics consultancy.

Outside of academia, I have had a successful sporting career. I won two Rugby Blues for Oxford, had the honour of representing England at U18 and University level, and played semi-professionally in the years 2015-2017.

I am absolutely thrilled to recommend Joshua as an exceptional tutor, whose guidance was instrumental in helping my daughter, Amelia, secure a place at Cambridge University to study Land Economy (2024). From the very start, Joshua demonstrated an outstanding level of expertise, professionalism, and dedication. Josh provided Amelia with expert support at each and every stage of the application process—whether it was refining her personal statement, preparing for admissions assessments, or preparing her for interview.

What truly sets Josh apart is his compassionate approach. Josh not only focused on academic excellence but also ensured my daughter felt supported and confident throughout what can be a stressful and challenging process. His deep knowledge of the subject matter, combined with deep understanding of the Cambridge admissions system, was key to my daughter’s success.

I wholeheartedly recommend Josh to any student seeking to achieve their academic goals. His guidance was nothing short of transformative, and we will be forever grateful for his help.

Josh orchestrated a smooth transition into Oxford (PPE) for my son, Justin. Josh was able to acutely direct, guide and execute every stage of the process. The personal statement editing was very thorough and professional. The interview was a particularly daunting prospect and Josh was able to prepare and reassure James with his expert knowledge, understanding and compassion. Once again, our sincerest thanks to Josh

Joshua Halstead (or Josh as we now know him) acted in a private tutor capacity for my son M, helping him with his A level Economics between September 2013 and the exams in May 2014. Despite working quite hard for his AS level exams in 2013, M performed fairly averagely (Economics, Geography, and Politics).
Josh worked with M over the course of nine or ten months, initially on weekly hourly tutorials and homework tasks which we gradually stepped up as the A2 exams approached. M responded very well to Josh, they very definitely hit it off despite the pressure Josh put on M to raise his game. I cannot emphasise enough the difference Josh made to M, both technically in terms of his grasp of the subject, but the confidence he gave him to go into the exams knowing that he was on top of every aspect of the Economics curriculum.
Josh's intervention had the effect of helping M lift his grade from a mid to low B at AS level Economics to an A* at A2 level. I am sure that Josh’s help in terms of approach to studying etc also helped M in his other two subjects as he gained A grades in both Geography and Politics, missing an A* in Politics by just 2 marks.
Josh is now tutoring my younger son for A level economics (October 2017)
