Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

With over 20 years of teaching experience, I have supported A-Level History students in mastering key skills, including historical analysis, critical evaluation, and essay writing. Since 2021, I’ve specialised in online tutoring, offering revision, coursework, and exam preparation tailored to individual goals. My role as an examiner has deepened my understanding of assessment criteria, helping students refine their techniques to excel in their exams.

Tutoring Approach

I begin by assessing a student’s grasp of historical concepts and essay-writing skills, often using past papers to evaluate their ability to analyse sources and construct arguments. Lessons are then tailored to develop core competencies, such as interpreting primary and secondary sources, structuring essays, and applying historiography effectively. I provide detailed feedback and actionable strategies to address weaknesses and enhance overall performance.

Homework assignments are focused on reinforcing content knowledge and practising key skills, with a balance that respects students' other commitments. I encourage open communication, regularly discussing progress and challenges to adapt strategies as needed. By fostering a critical and reflective mindset, I empower students to confidently navigate the complexities of A-Level History and achieve their academic goals.
