Personal Description: I am married (to Shannon) and we have two young children (Annabelle and Sophia). In addition to teaching I am also an active researcher and have published my work in leading academic journals such as "Diplomatic History", "The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History", and "Twentieth Century British History". I have been made a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in recognition of my research and publications. In my spare time I serve as a cadet forces military instructor.

Tutoring Experience: I have 14 years' teaching experience in schools and universities in Britain and the United States:

Tutoring Approach: I am able to draw upon my extensive experience to ensure that I am responsive to the individual needs of each student. I anchor my teaching firmly in relation to the specific GCSE/A-Level exam board and specification, or university course. Students therefore receive teaching that is explicitly relevant to their needs.
