Information about William

A qualified and enthusiastic History teacher and Head of Faculty, I have over 13 years teaching a variety of GCSE and A level courses, including AQA, OCR, and Edexcel. I have consistently achieved `Outstanding` GCSE and A level results and, understand the specific skills that are required to reach outstanding results.

I believe in helping learners to understand the key concepts of History, so that they can apply this knowledge within an exam environment. I try to immerse learners in a topic and adapt my teaching methods so that they suit the individual’s needs and abilities. I am very aware of the pressures of school and exams and strive to help learners reach their potential without unnecessary stress and anxiety.

William is an excellent tutor. He helped my son to gain his confidence in History and able to get a 7 GCSE in history within 7-8 months period. He taught my son how to do exam and focus on important areas. Thank you again..

Will is organised and knows his subject inside out. He has a great rapport with my son and makes his history tutorial feel like a discussion between individuals rather than a hard slog. He knows the syllabus and what examiners are looking for and my son finds this helpful to improve upon how he answers his questions/technique. My son looks forward to his lessons with Will which are positive and inspiring. Thank you Will

Outstanding tutor tailoring each lesson superbly, understanding learning style and exam specifications. Both A level and GCSE. Built a brilliant rapport with the kids and in fact they enjoyed each lesson thoroughly. Could not recommend enough.

William is a wonderful tutor! He is tutoring our son in history at GCSE level. William is dedicated, detail oriented and makes the sessions individualised to our son’s needs, extremely interesting and fun. We are very happy!

I contacted Will in January 2018 after my daughter`s mock exams as she struggled with History achieving a Grade 3 and clearly needed support. Will is an outstanding teacher who inspired my daughter to love History and develop a deeper understanding of the topics enabling her to contribute with confidence in class. Will was professional and accommodating offering support as and when needed. He never overloaded her with homework and was mindful of her commitment to other subjects. My daughter got Grade 7 in her GCSE which is a fantastic achievement in such a short space of time. As a teacher myself, I would highly recommend Will as a tutor. Thank you so much Will.

Will has extensive knowledge and a caring and friendly attitude. He tailored the sessions to my sons specific needs, (he has dyslexia) building his confidence and understanding of the topics as well as developing his ability to answer exam style questions across each of the different papers. He provided excellent additional resources and was always available to answer questions and provided extra support outside of the sessions. As a result my son achieved a History GCSE grade two levels higher than was expected. We would have no hesitation in recommending Will as a tutor.
