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.

If there is any question I had, no matter how detailed or complicated, Andy always answered it carefully and in ways that would make sure I`d get the best out of my essays. Any contextual knowledge he offered always helped me understand the bigger scope of my syllabus was always able to provide background knowledge to the essay questions we`d discuss (upon my request.) Even outside 1-1 conversations on zoom, if I had any questions I needed clarified or explained I`d always get back clear, detailed and prompt replies over email. I signed up for tutoring in April because I was struggling with, and only with, history. In the first session, only a few weeks before exams, any concerns I had with this subject were answered carefully and I always felt a lot more confident coming away from them. Anyone looking for expert advice and looking to pass their exams, or even just to feel more confident in this subject, Andy would be my first choice of recommendation and I cannot thank him enough :)

My daughter felt that Andy`s lessons really helped her to udnerstand the topic. She also grasp better essay writing and analytical skills from Andy`s lesson. It is not easy to find a good tutor who has excellent subject knowledge, clearly understands his student`s learning needs and delivers his knowledge and tools for meeting the needs. We were very pleased to find Andy and would like to recommend him highly to any students who need A level tuition in History.
