Over many years, I have taught Edexcel GCSE and A Level, Cambridge Pre-U, and Eduqas GCSE and A Level, and can explain the intimate details of each and every piece in a way that you will find accessible and clear, putting the pieces into context and I can also help with your exam technique and essay-writing.
