Subjects offered: History, English Language and English Literature, Sociology.

I am a fully qualified teacher of 20 years with a First Class Honours Degree (MA) in Medieval and Modern History. As part of my 4 year MA degree course, I also studied English Language and Literature for the first 2 years. In addition, I am a fully qualified English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher and I also have 20 years experience teaching A Level Sociology.

My experience allows me to quickly establish a positive and productive relationship with students enabling me to identify their strengths and weaknesses as well as their preferred learning styles.

My lessons are tailored to each student’s individual needs and are enjoyable and engaging with a focus on delivering content as well as developing key skills such as exam technique and effective revision methods. I regularly ask for feedback both from students and, if relevant, parents in order to ensure that the lessons are delivering what is required.

Availability: As I am now a full time tutor, I can offer lessons Monday - Thursday throughout the day and early evenings.

Willing to travel: Home Only
