/ James G.
Currently, I am the Head of History in a West Sussex independent school with experience of OCR & AQA A-Level as well as Pearson Edexcel GCSE. Our departments results are outstanding and my personal track record is excellent.
I aim to combine academic rigiour and knowledge with a deep passion for the subject in order to deliver effective and enjoyable lessons. Lessons are tailored towards the student and towards their specific exam board. I aim to identify topic areas of difficulty with a questionaire before the first lesson to ensure our sessions complement school teaching.

Hiya, if you need some tutoring in GCSe English lit (AQA) , History AQA or Psychology AQA alevel I’m happy to help.
I offer online sessions in GCSE Biology, English and history. My lessons are tailored to the individual, so my students can learn the way they learn best.
I am a recent graduate from Cambridge University in History and am currently completing a postgraduate degree in Intellectual History.
I am passionate about all forms of historical processes across space and time.
At undergraduate level I focused on eighteenth century British socioeconomics, nineteenth century British parliamentary politics; eleventh and twelfth century European history (including heresy and the Crusades); Enlightenment political thought; the early modern Ottoman and Safavid empires; nineteenth century Islamic political thought; and Tokugawa Japan. This wide-ranging portfolio means that I can provide a breadth of expertise to students at GCSE and A-level, but am also more than open to teaching many other historical contexts.
I have particular specialisms in historiography; intellectual history; and political thought, which I am happy to teach to any students looking for post-A-level tutoring.
As a native French speaker and additionally, having proficient reading ability in Latin, I am pleased to also provide Latin and French language lessons, either in addition to History lessons or independantly of them.
My techniques and teaching methodology:
- My tutoring style is first and foremost tailored to each individual student. I work closely with students to create customized study plans that help them achieve their academic goals. I use engaging and effective teaching methods to help students understand difficult concepts and develop the skills they need to succeed in History, French or Latin exams and beyond. I also use tools to monitor and track student progress, and provide regular feedback to students.
- Interactive teaching that supports independent thinking is a mode of teaching that I find particularly rewarding, as I aim to adapt my tutoring technique to suit the prior knowledge and learning needs of different students. This requires an accomodation of mixed abilities and knowledge levels through inclusive, question-led teaching practices based on the student's contributions.
My Qualifications:
- MA in Intellectual History, Jesus College, Oxford University (2023-2024)
- BA in History, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University (2020-2023)

Throughout university I have consistently achieved First Class marks in assignments, with some upper 2:1 level. Due to the ongoing marking boycott, I am yet to receive my final degree classification, however it is confirmed that I have guaranteed an upper 2:1.
At GCSE, I achieved full marks in 4 of the English Literature questions, and was in the highest www.*** of the country for English Literature. The rest of my grades consist of an 8, 4A*s, 2As, 1B.
I was offerd a place to study English Literature and Education Studies at Cambridge University (2020), however due to personal reasons I had to release this offer and defer. I instead studied a year later at Durham University, an extremely selective, world top university with extremely high standard teaching.
I will be commencing my Masters degree in Law at the University of Law next year.
I am dedicated and hard working, and my experience with tutoring, mentoring and as a teaching assistant means I am well experienced in adapting to different learning styles. I understand the importance of patience and adaptability when it comes to working with students of all ages, and I very much look forward to working with tuttees and their parents to ensure you get the most out of these sessions.
Offering tutoring in History GCSE and A level, as well as English literature.

I'm very engaged with the subject and currently engaged in my own research. I also have a strong interest in English literature and language and can offer tailored teaching of key texts for GCSE and A level students.
History lessons in Brighton, UK.
I am an experienced teacher and head of department with over 10 years of experience teaching in state, and now independent schools. I have an excellent track record of teaching History, English Language/Literature and Politics to A Level/IB and am happy to offer tuition in all these subjects for any examination board and specification.
I am also happy to offer tuition for younger pupils in History and English, including preparation for Common Entrance or scholarship exams.
All resources used in sessions are of my own design specifically for the needs of tutees. For those taking public examinations, appropriate use of past papers and mark schemes can be useful also.
I am happy to travel within 35-40m of Chichester although longer journeys will be subject to an additional charge. Alternatively, I am able to host sessions if that is more convenient.
