/ Conor D.
I'm a well qualified History and Politics Teacher who has been tutoring GCSE and A-Level for 3 years. I love planning and teaching exciting lessons and helping to improve progress through accessible learning. I have taught a wide range of history from the ancient to modern day period. I have extensive knowledge of British and American History and Politics as well as Europe through both World Wars. As well as this, I also have a strong knowledge on the Middle Ages and the Renaissance period at GCSE and A-Level. I am also well educated in Irish history and have also extensive experience teaching social issues in Religious Education. I plan and teach using a variety of fun and exciting resources and tailor my activities to the specific needs of each student . I am currently focusing on improving my clients' understanding of exam questions and structure, helping students to focus on the key points of what the paper is asking.

I am a full-time educator with over six years of experience. I am an English Literature graduate (BA) of the University of Aberystwyth where I especially enjoyed papers in Anglo-Saxon, Medieval, female empowerment and Viking Sagas. Following on from University I gained my PGCE with the University of Chester via the School Direct programme, beating 200 other applicants for one of the 20 places available. I was exposed to the latest in education theory and pedagogical techniques during the revamp of the National Curriculum. I then completed the prestigious MRes with Swansea University in the highly acclaimed Medieval Literature department.
As Head of History in my role, over the years I have worked relentlessly and have created the perfect programme for scoring top marks in GCSE and A-Level History! My programme taps into neurological stimuli to help revise and apply a practical understanding of content and essay writing. Additionally, I have also put together a revision programme to help ensure revision actually pays off and gets you the highest marks! Suitable for all exam boards and all learning requirements.
Tutoring Experience
I have significant experience with LAC and PLAC children, those with learning difficulties and mental health issues. This has enabled me to tailor teaching and learning to suit the individual and quickly spot the root cause of their issue. I am a member of The Tutoring Association which strives to make tutoring a monitored and professional industry. This means I continually embark on CPD in terms of teaching methodology as well as marking courses with a variety of exam boards and constantly reflect on my own teaching to improve.
Tutoring Approach
Learning should be enjoyable! I strive to make lessons interesting. This means they are automatically beneficial. If a student enjoys lessons, they are more likely to engage fully while also changing their outlook on education as a whole. It is my belief that the most important quality a tutor must possess is an appreciation of the individual requirements, needs and aptitudes of each of their pupils.
I will work closely with you and your child to provide the support that suits them individually.
Teaching has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I first started tutoring French and Spanish to the younger years when I was in my second year of Sixth Form college in the UK at the age of 16. My love for helping people to expand their knowledge and communication in a language only kept developing from that moment. I am Lizzie, from London, I am 22 years old and I have a BA Honors in Modern Languages, during which I completed a teaching module in my last year of university and I taught English abroad in France and Argentina in my third year. I have experience in teaching all ages, from 3 to 60! I am currently a part-time English teacher with the British Council in a university in Bogota, Colombia. Additionally, I have my own online teaching platform where I give weekly lessons in English, French and Spanish which I started during the pandemic. I only have positive feedback from my students and their parents and this success is reflected in their improving grades at school. I also work with people with special learning needs in my classes and adapt the classes as needed.
I always bring fun as well as productivity to my lessons, ensuring they are engaging and cater to the needs and preferences of each student. I am patient, enthusiastic and out-going, I believe there is no such thing as a silly question! My teaching methods include planning but adaptability, if a student on the spot says they want to work on something particular, I happily improvise and ensure they gain understanding on said topic. I like to maintain a balance of vocabulary and grammar, and mainly I focus on conversation and listening comprehension, as this is real life!
I am a very creative person, I love art, music and dance. I love to explore new cultures and travel too.
As I have just graduated last year, I have very fresh memory of how to learn languages effectively, this puts me in a position of empathy when teaching!
