Personal Description: I am a 24 year old History graduate who also holds an MSc in Creative Advertising. I am looking to tutor pupils in need of help with their History and English lessons and exams. I am based in Edinburgh and can work most evenings and weekends. I am helpful and approachable and know what its like to go through the school system. I am most familiar with the Scottish curriculum and so would be best suited to pupils who are in need of tutoring within the Scottish School system.

Tutoring Experience: I have taught history and english casually before with good results as well as teaching guitar for years. I have also been a sports coach in cricket. I have plenty of experience when dealing with the different needs and requirements of pupils. Havcing experienced a number of different tutoring situations I feel like I can cope with all of the things required of me and the responsibility of taking on tutees.

Tutoring Approach: I believe that history and english are really about good interpretation, reasoning and argument. No matter what someone thinks as long as it can be backed up and articulated correctly then it is valid. This is especially true of history which requires good technique in terms of evaluating evidence but also needs a good grasp of other arguments so that one can build a case. I intend to teach the essential hsitorical techniques which have served me so well inmy academic career. In english I belive that individual interpretation is always valid as long as it can be argued well from the given material. It is also key to be able to write and understand english correctly so that you can articulate yourself well, this reflects greatly upon the pupil. Englsih is also about proper technique and it is my intention to teach this in order to make english an easy subject.
