I am a Double First Class Cambridge University Historian with 45 points in the IB, and an experienced Tutor in History, Maths and English.

As well as delivering strong subject knowledge I am particularly keen on developing students` learning and revising techniques, such as how to write essays that tick all the boxes in the markscheme and to structure revision notes so that they map exactly how the student`s brain will access information in an exam. To an extent anyone can impart content to students, so learning techniques are where I feel I deliver the most value added.

I have worked with students of a range of different abilities, teaching History and Maths at a school in New Zealand where all the pupils were from lower income backgrounds, and for Lanterna IB revision classes where for many students, English was not a first language, and for others there were huge gaps in their understanding of the syllabus. I am confident in tailoring learning to students of all different backgrounds and levels of confidence.

Availability: I have excellent availability in the evenings during termtime and am often free during the day during school holidays. I can often make time on weekends with enough notice.

Willing to travel: 4 miles

Experience: I have been tutoring for nearly a decade now and have worked with students across a wide ability spectrum and on everything from the 11+ entrance exams to Maths GCSE to Oxbridge Interview practice. I believe I have an engaging teaching style that challenges students, while also making it easy for me to develop a quick rapport with them. I am happy to teach English, Maths and History up to and including GCSE, History beyond that to undergraduate standard and would love to help with university preparation.
