Courtney

I am an experienced secondary school teacher and Head of Year with six years’ experience working in education. I specialise in History and Humanities and offer engaging, structured tuition tailored to each student’s individual needs and goals.

I currently teach GCSE and A Level History and have extensive experience supporting students with subject knowledge, exam technique, essay writing and source analysis. I also offer tuition in Ancient History and Classical Civilisation, as well as GCSE English.

I offer online lessons that are friendly, supportive and focused on building confidence as well as improving academic performance. I adapt each session to the individual student, identifying gaps in knowledge and breaking down difficult topics and exam questions into manageable steps.

For GCSE and A Level students, I place a strong emphasis on understanding exactly what examiners are looking for. Sessions can include targeted content revision, exam-question planning, model answers, timed practice and detailed feedback.

As a current teacher and Head of Year, I have experience working with students of a wide range of abilities and understand that every student learns differently. My aim is to create a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable asking questions while still being challenged to make progress.

I offer a free 20-minute introductory meeting with the student and/or parent to discuss their current level, goals and what they would like to achieve through tuition. From there, I can create a personalised plan for our sessions.

Availability: I offer online tutoring during weekday evenings and at weekends, with flexible session times available to suit students and families.

Experience: I have six years’ experience working in secondary education and currently work as a History and English teacher and Head of Year.

I have experience teaching History across KS3, GCSE and A Level, including Edexcel GCSE History and A Level History. My subject specialisms also include Ancient History and Classical Civilisation, and I offer support with GCSE English.

Alongside classroom teaching, my pastoral experience as a Head of Year has given me extensive experience supporting students with different abilities, confidence levels and learning needs.

I am particularly experienced in helping students develop their exam technique, essay writing, source analysis and extended responses. I use exam-board requirements, model answers and targeted practice to help students understand exactly how to improve their marks.

I have worked in education since 2020 and qualified as a secondary school teacher in 2022.
