Mark

I have been tutoring and examining since 1995. In 2017 I created my own company with an integrated online tutoring platform so that students can access high not only my services, but also those of the many examiners with whom I work throughout the UK and even abroad. We cover all GCSE, IGCSE, IB and A Level subjects.

I am a former senior university lecturer and a published academic. My book, The Conservative party and the extreme right, 1945-1975, Manchester University Press (2011), covers modern British political history.

I am also a former AHRC Scholar at the John W. Kluge Center in the Library of Congress, Washington DC.

I hold a first class degree and a PhD, awarded by Russell Group universities.

Tutoring Experience

Former Head of Department and Director of Studies (since 1994)
Former Senior University Lecturer

Examiner for Edexcel, AEB, IB, AQA and undergraduate levels up to and including third-year dissertation.

I have taught, tutored and examined many different history periods and government & politics papers, for all of the exam boards.

Tutoring Approach

Very enabling. Testimonials provided if required (by phone call to current students and their parents).
I am a friendly, motivational tutor. My focus is on:
1. Question de-construction, which allows you to understand questions better and answer in a manner that examiners require.
2. Essay structure.
3. Analysis of evidence.
