I specialise in humanities subjects, especially 20th Century / Cold War history, international relations, and human geography.
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.
I'm a recent graduate looking to help other students who struggle with the disguised complexity of essay subjects achieve their desired grades in a friendly, patient and approachable manner. I have helped many other students and friends of mine informally with their writing, and they always point out how easy it becomes once I lay out the correct formatting for them.
With guided practice, I can help students break down intimidating essay questions into manageable parts, build clear and convincing arguments, and express their views with confidence. My goal is to make academic writing feel less like a chore and more like a skill anyone can master with the right support.
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.

PGCE in History at the Institute of Education, University College London
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.

History lessons in Shepperton, UK.
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.

I completed my PGCE in History Secondary teaching at the institute of Education in 2004 and since then have worked in a range of state and private schools, as well as tutoring all ages from primary to A Level. I currently teach History and Politics at at top London school. In addition I am an examiner for GCSE, IGCSE and A Level with Edexcel and OCR. As an experienced teacher and tutor, I recognise that all students approach the subject in different ways and have different strengths and areas for improvement. I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement however this must be combined with academic rigour. My work as a GCSE and A Level examiner gives me a valuable insight into what it is that examiners are looking for and I will use this to bring out the best in my students but at the same time help them be as prepared as they can be for public examinations. I am patient and enthusiastic - I love my subjects - and I aim to instil this enthusiasm in my students.
English and history lessons - Teddington, UK.
Fully Qualified Teacher of History and English
I am a supportive and friendly tutor, with a flexible approach to lessons. All tuition is carefully tailored to meet the needs of the individual. As a family man with three young children of my own I understand the expectations of parents and do my utmost to meet their needs and help students reach their full potential. Teaching Experience.
I am a qualified teacher and journalist with 25 years' tutoring and teaching experience in the private and state sector. I am also an experienced examiner of GCSE English Language and Literature. My students have achieved excellent exam results.
Tutoring Approach: I carefully assess the individual's requirements, making certain the student has the appropriate resources and, where relevant, knows exactly what is required by the exam board. As an experienced examiner, I pay close attention to the skills and knowledge required for exam success.
I have always enjoyed interacting with children and strongly believe that interacting with younger students has taught me the importance of patience and understanding. Tutoring enables the expansion of an important skill set, such as, the ability to break explanations down into new perspectives when a pupil doesn’t at first understand. It is thrilling when that ‘lightbulb’ moment in a pupil’s eyes arises once the answer/solution clicks.
As a student, I achieved high grades and enjoyed sports although I would say my main strength has always been empathy and ability to connect with people. Interacting with both children and parents has always come naturally to me. During my time at secondary school, I was often chosen to tour prospective parents on Open Day and younger children would regularly approach me for guidance (both academic and otherwise).
Moreover, in 2023 I was diagnosed with ADHD. At school I often found it difficult to study and didn’t know why it was so hard to simply sit down and concentrate. Having undiagnosed ADHD meant that I resorted to trying different learning methods and experimenting with a multitude of revision strategies to complete my studies.
Despite having ADHD I managed to retain strong grades throughout my academic journey. The diagnosis simply enabled me to deepen my understanding of how to navigate my studies whilst having an attention deficit. The knowledge and patience I acquired on this journey I would be glad to share with tutees regardless of whether they have learning difficulties.
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.
I have dyslexia and ADHD without hyperactivity meaning I am able to offer unique and specialised ways in tutoring students as I am well acquainted with non-conventional forms of studying. I have a brother who is 3years younger than me and have been offering him and his friends tutition for many years and am confident in my knowledge and methods to help any student improve their grades and academic confidence.
While at university I helped tutor younger students in years 1 and 2. On top of this, while at secondary school and sixth form I was always engaged with the tutoring of younger age groups through various school schemes.
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.
