Information about Andy

I have worked in secondary schools and a 6th form college in Cheshire, teaching history and politics for all of my career. I have been a Head of Humanities and Head of History and Politics. I have managed and mentored many other teachers. I am familiar with exam boards and their requirements. I can help with subject content and skills (including exam skills). Over the years my students have commented on my friendly and effective teaching style, extensive knowledge and passion for my subjects. My students have always appreciated my ability to get the best out of them while providing effective pedagogy and lots of humour! I have decades of experience in preparing students for university and I have helped many students with the UCAS process. I am an associate examiner in A level History. I have taught secondary (11-14), O level and GCSE, A level, International Baccalaureate and Access to Higher Education. I have taught a wide variety of topics in history and in politics, and have prepared students for exams and coursework across a range of exam board specifications.
Helping students to learn and to succeed is my passion. I look for the strengths and areas for development in all my students or tutees. I use lots of different teaching methods and resources, but will also adapt to fit with individual tutees` needs and experiences e.g. their school or college assignments.

My daughter says she has got her love of history back from only a few sessions with Andy. Impressive compliment from a teenager!
