Information about Andrew
I am an experienced teacher and tutor. I taught History to GCSE and A level for 18 years at a large secondary school and spent eight of those as head of department. I was also closely involved in training History teachers with Bristol University and was an Associate tutor of the University for a number of years
I have been tutoring privately since 2009 and with great success, with a steadily increasing number year on year. Last summer (2021) three of my students attained A* grades and five an A. Nobody was below a C.
On average, students who work with me improve by two grades
I have an informal and relaxed style and relate well to all my students.My approach is based on very strong subject expertise ( I am lucky that my work is also one of my hobbies! and thorough familiarity with the specifications of all the boards.
My main subject is History but can offer Ancient History, Politics and Philosophy /RE also.
I have an up to date DRB plus copies of my degree and PGCE certificates. If you purchase my details. I can send link to my blog which has glowing testimonials from past students!
I have been an examiner at A level with one of the main boards, which of course gives me more insight into what is required to succeed.
Recently, I co-authored a book on Ancient History which has been published on-line
Availability: Am available in the daytime, evenings and weekends
Willing to travel: 5 miles

Andrew is really helping my son understand how he can approach his A level history with confidence. He seems to have lots of great techniques and tips based on a vast amount of experience. He has a very friendly and confident manner and my son is really enjoying the sessions and says he gets lots out of them. Thank you!

My Son started Year 13 tutoring in History with Andrew recently. Unfortunately due to the coronavirus pandemic he is no longer sitting his A-levels but I can say in the short time Andrew has tutored him, my son he has grown in confidence in History and has enjoyed sessions. Andrew has also been reliable and an efficient communicator__thank you.
