About
History Tuition

KS1-GCSE

From Mediæval realms, to World War II and Ancient Egypt to 9/11, our historians are here to offer their passion and zest for history to young (and older) minds across London. Using videos, pictures, real historical documents and, most of all, intriguing stories, they bring history to life in a way that cannot fail to intrigue the mind. They work in full complement with the exam board required (for GCSE and A-Level pupils) and show you how to take investigation, question-answering, memory, chronology and essay writing to the next level and rectify those common pitfalls.

History tuition: a great way to revitalise the subject and get yourself on track for those imperative exams.

I am a private tutor with over ten years of experience and I am able to teach the 11 and 13+ English and Maths up to GCSEs, Business Studies, Economics, Politics and Religious Studies up to A Levels and History up to undergraduate level. I have a BA and Masters in History from Goldsmiths, University of London and I am also currently working on my PhD in History at the University of Leicester on religious dissent during eighteenth-century England. Alongside tutoring students between the ages of 6-18 in a one to one environment, I have also taught seminars at the University of Leicester, run booster classes at secondary schools for A Level students and worked for institutions such as Arsenal football club. My approach to tutoring focuses on building a relaxed and friendly environment in which I can tailor my teaching around the needs and wants of the student/parents, while at the same time stressing the importance of the student to take ownership of their studies so that they can go on to achieve the best that they can. Outside of tutoring, I also run my own football club CSM London FC and I am the League Secretary for the Hackney and Leyton Sunday Football League.

I am a qualified teacher from London. I have taught in various secondary schools and currently work in the private sector, teaching at football club academies and to individual students. My approach is tailored to each individual student and based upon mutual respect, listening, calmness and friendliness. I really enjoy working with young people and getting to know what makes them tick as well as what they can't stand - and then trying to adapt my style accordingly! For one reason or another, I seem to build up a good and productive relationship with my students and think that this level of trust is important as the foundation of helping them learn better and of course pass exams.

My degree is in History and this is the area in which I specialise but I have taught English, Politics and Geography alongside this for many years now. I also teach the 11+ and entrance exams for grammar schools. I'll come with my own ideas but, ultimately, will listen to what the parent and, primarily, student need and want from lessons and base what we do around that. I prefer lessons in person but am also available to teach online if need be. It's always helpful to know the exam board before we start, so please try to find this out if you can!

To tell you a tiny bit about me in general - I love to travel and will go virtually anywhere if given the chance! I'm also a big football fan - support Arsenal. Not sure why I'm mentioning that, because it'll turn half of London away from me but oh well!
