Alarna

I am an experienced and passionate History teacher and Examiner, offering online History and Humanities tuition for GCSE and A-Level students.
I hold a First Class BA in History from Queen Mary University of London, a PGDE from Teach First and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). I have taught History across a wide range of ages and abilities, including GCSE and A-Level exam classes, and have also worked as an Edexcel GCSE History Examiner for four years. This gives me a strong understanding of exam technique, assessment criteria and exactly what students need to do to achieve their target grades.
My lessons are engaging, supportive and tailored to each student`s individual needs. I focus not only on building strong historical knowledge, but also on developing essay writing, source analysis, interpretation and exam technique. I particularly enjoy helping students who lack confidence in History to develop a genuine understanding of the subject and see their grades improve.
Whether you need help with a particular topic, revision, coursework or exam preparation, I can provide personalised online lessons designed around you and your goals.

Experience: I have extensive classroom and online tutoring experience across GCSE and A-Level History, including taking GCSE examination classes through to excellent pass rates with multiple Grade 9s, and supporting A-Level students to achieve A–A* grades and produce high-quality coursework.

I also work as an **examiner for the exam boards every year**, giving me an in-depth understanding of mark schemes, assessment objectives, grade boundaries and exactly what separates a good answer from a top-band response. Alongside this, I have worked with international schools to strengthen A-Level History teaching, improve students’ written responses and audit examination scri pts ahead of resits.

I have experience supporting students of all abilities, from helping students secure their first pass to pushing high-achieving students towards the very highest grades. My tutoring is personalised, focused and designed to build both confidence and exam success.
