• Professional History and essay writing tutor (12+yrs experience).
• Effective and friendly tuition.
• Oxford University, BA History (Double First).

Do you want to avoid wasting your time with someone who has taken up tutoring to get some extra pocket money? I am a professional tutor who offers an excellent value, top-quality service.

My tried and tested approach to tuition:

• Systematic coverage of the syllabus and the skills that you need to succeed in the exams.

• Tailored to your specific needs and learning style.

• Fun and down-to-earth style of teaching.

• Supportive and patient while believing in your ability to achieve your targets.

• Added extra! I bring a creative approach to my teaching. In fact I have an MA in Art.

Availability: ONLINE TUITION ONLY.
I teach on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays in after-school hours. I am currently out in Mexico where I have my painting studio, and an excellent internet connection!

Willing to travel: 50 miles

Experience: 12+ years tutoring experience at a top London agency, with students at top schools including Eton and St Pauls. I have also taught in China, the USA and Japan.
Completed teacher training courses ([contact detail removed], The Royal Drawing School, and Oxbridge Summer Camps Abroad)

I have a proven track record in tutoring History and writing skills.

I help high-flying students comfortably secure those top grades, using my Oxford Double First History degree experience.

I am especially proud of my record in helping struggling students to really turn things around, hugely boosting their confidence and translating that into exam grades that exceed expectations, going up one, two, or even three grade boundaries.

Are writing skills holding you back? I love to help students get their ideas onto paper. In fact I used to find essay writing difficult in school too. But I taught myself how to do it well enough to excel in a History degree at Oxford and I even won an award for my dissertation! I know from experience that I can teach these skills to others.

In 2023 my A Level students:

- All achieved their firm UCAS offers.
- Went on to university at Cambridge, UCL, York, Leeds, Bristol, Liverpool, Bath and Exeter.
- Two students achieved A* in History, one of whom scored 100% in the paper I tutored. Both of these students were scoring D/E in Year 12, so this was a particularly wonderful turnaround.

In addition, an undergraduate tutees who is studying at Oxford University and who sought my support with essay writing went from getting 2:2 in their essays to being graded at a First.
