Laura

Cambridge University - BA History

As an undergraduate student majoring in History at Christ's College, Cambridge, I have a strong academic background, demonstrated by my achievement of straight A* grades in Spanish, History, and Psychology A Levels. My deep passion for Spanish and History, combined with a natural aptitude in these subjects, positions me as a skilled and enthusiastic tutor in both Spanish and History. My approach to tutoring is informed by both my academic success and a genuine enthusiasm for these subjects, making me well-equipped to inspire and educate students.

Tutoring Approach

I am able to help with application to Universities including Oxbridge. This will include: Personal Statement, Cambridge SAQ, Admissions Assessments (notably HAA), Interview Preparation and general Oxbridge and University advice. I have access to my own experiences applying to Cambridge and other universities in 2020 as well as access to University of Cambridge admissions documents such as practice interview questions.

History Tuition Approach: I am suited to tutoring the AQA exam board, however I am willing to familiarize myself with other exam boards as well. I am able to offer advise on exam technique, including marking exam questions and teaching how to answer different types of questions. I am also able to aid with revision techniques especially as there is a lot of information to revise for A-level and GCSE History
