Richard

Richard taught my daughter the entire IGCSE History course on 1 hour/week for just over a year. He teaches to A level and had complete command of the subject areas my daughter had to study (he has particular expertise in the Cold War, Russia and Germany). My daughter looked forward to her lessons as Richard presented them as a fascinating narrative, presented with great energy. He was rigorous in his presentation of evidence and, as exams began to loom, he trawled through past papers and sent us analytical tables he had compiled to aid in the understanding of source materials. Under his tutelage my child gained confidence in her ability to tackle source questions and tidied up her essay technique considerably. She is now an enthusiastic historian. I recommend Richard whole heartedly as an impressive communicator and thoroughly likeable teacher.

Richard worked with my son tutoring him in History since September 2015 and turned him from a struggling student (Grade E at AS) into a solid student competent in History. Richard connected immediately with my son and gave him a much better understanding of how to analyse questions and structure answers. Richard has been flexible working around my son's availability and provided me (concerned parent) with reports on progress. My son, following AS resits and his A2 exams, is now the recipient of a C in A Level History and knows now that he had the capability to have pushed onto a B. What a transformation! I have no doubt that my son will take the confidence and techniques taught by Richard onto University. I recommend Richard without hesitation.
