Experience: I’ve been working as a professional tutor for 15 years, so I’m well placed to know exactly what to do to improve your essay writing and source interpretation. I am a full time tutor, so I`m not squeezing you in at the end of a long day in a school.

I also possess a Masters in Education from the University of Southampton as well as my PGCE teaching qualification and my BA (Hons) from the 5 star rated Economic and Social History Department at the University of Leicester. Prior to tutoring I worked for 6 years as a classroom History Teacher where some of my A-Level students achieved an illusive 100 per cent on the modules I taught.

Recent Tutoring successes include:
2025 - "I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the help you gave me! I got an A in my history and politics exam which I am thrilled with! I couldn’t have done it without your help, so thank you so much!"

"Hi Antonia, just thought I`d let you know how things went. I managed to get the A I needed in History!! Combined with another A and 2 A*s, that means I`ve managed to get into my first choice of Warwick! Thanks a lot for everything over the last year, especially the big changes with my coursework, it all led to a result I couldn`t be happier with."

2023 - All my A-Level students achieved an `A` grade, some from a D/C starting point. All my GCSE students achieved a grade 9.

2022 - A`s and A* at A-Level across 95% of my students with 5% achieving `B` grades, Grades 8 & 9 at GCSE achieved - far surpassing predicted grades.

2021 - all my students achieved their desired grades, reaching `ivy league` universities with A and A* grades.

I have excellent subject knowledge across all time periods, from Russia to Germany, the Tudors to Modern Britain.
