Experience: I`ve taught secondary school History for 2 years, giving me a strong understanding of historical thinking from GCSE through to degree level. I have spent 2 years teaching the OCR syllabus, so I am particularly experienced with this exam board, however I am also able to tutor all other exam boards. My sessions for GCSE and A-level focus on building strong, evidence-led arguments and exam technique - the skills that actually move grades. I tailor every lesson to the student`s specification and exam board, working through essay structure, source analysis and detailed feedback.

Before I taught in schools, I spent five years teaching and helping to administer undergraduate History modules at the University of Exeter, which involved not only making students` work but also moderating the work of other teachers. This means I am expertly placed to give detailed, honest feedback on drafts for University students, with a focus on how you can move up through the grade bands. I can also help you sharpen your arguments, structure essays and dissertations, and use sources with confidence.
