I am a friendly, caring and dedicated tutor and career academic who is particularly effective in working with nervous students and building their confidence. Having spent over twenty years working in academia I have a strong understanding of exam and revision techniques, writing skills and the quirks of the history curriculum.
I am very patient and will ensure lessons match each student's learning pace and style. My nurturing approach has been very successful with past students of all ages and abilities.
I am happy to teach online (Skype) or face-to-face at my home.
I have taught curriculum-based history in a museum setting to students of all ages and abilities and enjoy sparking an interest in history while also building confidence in exam performance and essay writing. During my doctorate I taught many undergraduate history students of varied abilities, providing constructive, encouraging feedback that helped them to improve their essay writing skills and grades, in many cases by two levels or more. I have also designed history teaching materials and lessons plans for secondary schools and am confident with the three main exam boards AQA, Edexcel and OCR.
I believe it is important to establish individualised learning goals so I tailor my lessons to cater to each student's needs and providing them the support to achieve them. My approach is routed in encouragement and building students' confidence in their skills which I have found achieves lasting success in any subject.
I cover writing techniques, source analysis, and understanding course content as well as exam preparation including revision techniques, time management and coping with stress. I am also happy to proofread students' essays and assignments for SPaG.
With teaching English as a foreign language, I am a qualified TEFL tutor and have experience of teaching children and adults online, planning effective and enjoyable lessons focused on oral and written English, business, academic and conversational English.
I have recently graduated from the University of Birmingham with first-class honours, as well as the Richard Shackleton prize for best dissertation in the year. As a consequence, I have developed my essay writing techniques and structures to a level that is a very high standard. Within my tutoring sessions, I will be able to help to pass on the skills and techniques to my clients and make them feel comfortable and assured when facing a tricky question or concept.
Most importantly, however, history and English are subjects that need to be approached with curiosity and fascination. My sessions will approach various history and literature in a way that removes the perceived dustiness from History and English and will help the client to approach difficult concepts in an interpretive manner, which will help them to write clearer and more confident answers.
I am a current masters student and very flexible, I will be able to be accomodating for the student when they would like a tutoring session. Moreover, I will offer the first session free in order to see if the client enjoys and responds to the teaching. Flexibility and comfort are crucial.
I will be able to offer valuable essay and exam technique for clients in their GCSE or A-Level cycle- or just for students wishing to feel more confident. Fundamentally I will instruct how to break down a question, choose an appropriate structure, pick critical evidence and lay down quality and evaluative analysis. For clients looking to develop a wider interest in historical events, ideas and theories, I can use the experience and reading from my university years to teach these in a unique and exciting way. I firmly believe History to be dependent on curiosity and I would relish teaching it in this way.
For those looking for English lessons: I attained an A* in my GCSE, an A* overall in my A-Level (including full marks on my English coursework in year 13), as well as a first in a module on George Orwell in my final year that was very literature-based. I am more than capable of teaching a fascinating programme in both English and History and I look forward to doing so.
I am a Team Leading examiner for GCSE History and A Level Politics and hold an Associate membership from the Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors. I hold my Advance Skills teaching from Warwick University (BECTA) and my teaching certificate from the University of Lancaster. I have written research papers on education and history, published under BECTA (2005/6/7) that analysed the way that students learned. I am an experienced middle manager and have been a School Improvement Advisor for BECTA. I have taught for at The Harrodian school and currently teach History and Politics at The City of London School.
I have taught both AQA and Edexcel A-level Politics (examining for the former). I have a real passion for politics in the UK and the USA. I use current events from the week to highlight the course and allow my students to connect to what they are focusing on.
For History I have a passion for US history and have also taught French Revolution, Mao`s China and Germany. For GCSE I examine for AQA - paper 2 Elizabeth, though have taught both AQA, Edexcel and the Cambridge IGCSE. I can cover most areas.

With more than 8 years tutoring and teaching experience, I’m able to teach a number of subjects and different levels based on the English National Curriculum. At key stage 1, I’m able to teach any subject. At key stage 2, I can teach every subject. At key stage 3, I can teach English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, History, French and Arabic. At GCSE, I can teach English Literature, English Language, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, History, French, Arabic, Government and Politics, Business Studies, Sociology, Psychology and Law. At A Levels, I can teach English Literature, English Language, Psychology, Sociology, Government and Politics, History and Law. At university undergraduate degree, I can teach Law.
I have written 6 GCSE history text books as well as 2 exam technique guides. I have also written an A-level text book with a second one to be published shortly as well.
My main areas of academic expertise are in the following modules for GCSE. The first three I have authored textbooks for:
● Germany: (including the very popular Weimar to Hitler module) ● Medicine through time ● Cold war and international relations ● Crime and punishment through time ● WW1 and WW2 ● Civil rights in America
For A-level (I have nearly completed an A-level textbook for the France in revolution modules and written one for the Russia modules):
● Modern Britain (20th century) ● The British Empire ● Russia ● Germany ● France in Revolution + Napoleon
I may be able to tutor you on other modules, depending on what they are.
I have also tutored politics as well and have written 2 x 15 page help guides on Conservatism and Socialism which I can give to any student free of charge.
The most important thing from your tutor is that they know the subject inside out and having written 6+ books I can give all my students the kind of depth of tuition needed to get the very top grades at both GCSE and A-level.
Tutoring Experience
I love history and politics and after 25 years in the corporate sector I moved into teaching. I taught history and economics recently in a private school in Hampshire, teaching at both GCSE and A-level before focusing on authoring school text books and online tutoring.
What's the best way to learn?
Firstly, let's make the tutorials enjoyable and to guarantee that I use the active learning style of teaching. There's nothing worse than just being lectured to for 50+ minutes so all the lessons are focused on the student engaging with cartoons, photos, paintings, speeches and letters written at the time of the topic being covered. Learning by reviewing primary source material is such a great way to get student engagement and make it a productive and enjoyable experience for them.
So the most productive tutor sessions are divided into 3 segments: the first involves myself and the student discussing a topic from the curriculum, usually something they have studied in class recently. Typically I will regularly question the student on that subject matter to check understanding, typically for 25 minutes and that segment of the lesson will typically revolve around the student learning through analysing primary source material. Then the second part of the lesson would see the student answering a question related to that topic taken from an exam paper but I would work with the student leading them towards the optimal answer. Finally the student would then answer a second question but it would be the student leading the discussion explaining how they would answer it. So the lesson is scaffolded as the student gradually does more of the work, such that by the end, they are leading the discussion.

My name is Gary H. and I am a 20 year old History graduate from the University of Liverpool. I have always been a keen historian however I always found it hard to understand what was actually expected of me from History exams and tests, this became a massive problem at GCSE with History being the worst grade that I had achieved. My perserverance for the subject that I loved however lead me to gain a newfound understanding about what the examiners were expecting you to be able to do in a History essay and being able to translate good knowledge of the subject into good essays. This understanding is what lead to me eventually gaining an A in my History A-Level as well as 71/75 in one of the papers, following this I transitioned to doing a BA Honors degree at a Russell Group University in the subject that 3 years prior was my worst GCSE. I have a deep understanding of what a History essay is meant to look like as well as being able to understand where potential pitfall come for those who study hard but seem to not be getting the grades that their hard work deserves. I want to provide help to people that were in my position not knowing how to progress and I feel that I have the skill set to be able to do so.
I specialise in human geography, Cold War history, international relations, and the humanities generally. On top of this, I am also confident helping with any humanities or English-based subject, particularly writing and exam techniques. My lessons are always fun and never too difficult or fast so you feel confident at all times.

Hi everyone! I'm Carys, a passionate student about to start University. I'd love to be able to share my love of learning with you all, from teaching English literature/language, German, Psychology and History for GCSEs, or Psychology A Level!
I am a final year History student at Bristol. I have lots of experience working in primary school as well as someone to one tuition. I am confident, enthusiastic and really enjoy teaching looking to become a teacher after I graduate.
I usually teach for around an hour typically to primary school age but I am looking to teach some older years as well. I like to keep the lesson interactive not focusing on the same exercise for too long. I find primary school-age children struggle to focus on the same thing for a long time. However, what I like about tutoring one-to-one or in small groups is that it gives you a lot of space to be flexible depending on who I am teaching.

As an A-level student, balancing continuous volunteering work, in various sectors such as tutoring and mentoring, with education has ensured that I have developed the skills of time management and organisation. Through undertaking a variety of volunteering opportunities; ambition, drive, passion, and perseverance have been amongst a variety of abilities that I have had to develop to ensure success. I hope to use my interpersonal skills to work alongside a team that prioritises the student’s satisfaction and their experience.
As a part of my Silver Duke of Edinburgh volunteering, I tutored students in the lower year of my school with the aim of improving their grades before they began the GCSE process. Many of these students were often easily distracted and prone to misbehaving during tutoring sessions, necessitating a great deal of persistence, perseverance, and patience to get round to the students and ensure that they were focused on their tasks. As I tutored while mentoring these students, I needed to be able to present the role of both an authoritative figure and a peer. The key to success was to maintain a fun and motivating learning environment.
