Hi, I`m a PhD student at Newcastle University and I tutor a range of subjects including GCSE/A Level: English Language, Literature, Film Studies, History and Geography.

I lead a seminar at Newcastle University every week during term time and I have been tutoring many GCSE and A-Level students in the past few years.

I can help with exam preparation and revision, homework assistance, reviewing classwork and coursework as well as general tutoring of curriculum and critical thinking and research/study skills.

I also teach IGCSE and ESL students abroad as well as preparing students for the humanities portions of exams such as GAMSAT.

I live in North Shields. I have an MA in Modern History from Durham University and a First Class Bachelor`s degree from the University of Warwick and an enhanced DBS. I also have Newcastle University`s teaching in higher education qualification and a TEFL certificate.

Availability: Flexible schedule - available also weekends and evenings.

Also available for online lessons (Skype, Zoom and Google Hangouts).

All online classes are discounted.

Willing to travel: 50 miles

Experience: I bring extensive academic expertise and detailed knowledge of the curriculum and mark schemes to all my lessons and I have seen significant improvements in subject knowledge, essay-writing and critical thinking skills of my GCSE/A-Level students in the past few years.

I previously taught English as Second Language to Spanish teenagers studying in Newcastle on a monthly basis. And before this I worked in Bologna, Italy as an English teacher for several years, teaching adults and children of all ages and levels. I taught at many multinational corporations as well as giving group and individual classes at my Language Institute.

I especially enjoyed going into schools (primary, middle and high), meeting the children there and providing a fun but academically challenging course.

One thing I learnt on the job is that every student has different needs and so a great teacher must approach every one on a case-by-case basis and try and build the best relationship and teaching strategy possible. Creating working relationships with parents is also crucial to the success of any teacher and I have always flourished in this role.
