James

I am currently a Head of History at a secondary school and have a wealth of knowledge on how to help students gain their target grades and achieve more.

I have a proven track record of helping my students to gain success and progress in GCSE History, A Level History & Key Stage 3. I also have extensive experience in teaching students with SEN and Gifted and Talented students (predicted grade A*). I also have extensive experience teaching phonics and Key Stage 1 & 2 Literacy.

Students success under my guidance is mainly due to my dedicated and fun approach to history.
