I am passionate about ensuring that my tutees receive the results that they desire and deserve, and that education is a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging process. I have been a full-time Head of History for over 20 years and have considerable teaching experience in a variety of prestigious schools and, in addition, lecture and mentor undergraduates at university level. I also continue to deliver courses nationally to history teachers and students and have written extensively on educational theory, professional development and of course History. I consult on and author A level textbooks used by many schools nationally and also serve as a senior advisor for a number of national educational bodies.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught in a wide variety of schools, encompassing the full range of ability in the age group 11-18 . In addition to tutoring at Common Entrance, GCSE. A Level, IB and pre-U. I have considerable experience in coaching students towards improving grades at A level and also guiding Oxbridge admission. I run workshops for learners of all ages and lead national conferences in developing the type of learning techniques necessary for success in examination. I have chaired national A Level and also GCSE conferences with professional historians of international repute. In addition I have led a number of academic departments in schools. I have taught a number of home schooled students from Yr6 through to Yr13, but also worked with students needing very short term and intense revision in the run up to an exam.

Tutoring Approach

I am always responsive to what my student wants and I work hard to quickly establish the individual learning style that will bring results. I am very happy indeed to address any areas of knowledge or exam technique which students would like to focus most upon. This is supported by means of in-depth and current experience of the requirements of all of the major examination boards. I hold that the best education responds to the learning style of the individual with a clear focus on what gets results in the exams. I am very happy indeed to discuss individual requirements and to draw up a bespoke plan which will bring results.
