My lessons are structured, purposeful, and tailored to each individual student, ensuring every session leads to clear progress and greater confidence.

At the start of our work together, I assess each student’s strengths, gaps in knowledge, and exam technique. From there, I design a personalised programme that targets exactly what they need to succeed - whether that’s mastering key content, improving analytical writing, or refining exam skills.

Each lesson is highly focused and interactive. We typically begin with retrieval practice to strengthen long-term memory, followed by teaching or revisiting key historical knowledge and concepts. I model high-quality answers, break down exam questions, and guide students through how to think like a historian - analysing interpretations, evaluating sources, and constructing clear, sophisticated arguments.

A core part of my teaching is developing excellent exam technique. Students practise past questions regularly, receive precise, actionable feedback, and learn exactly how to meet mark scheme criteria to achieve top grades.

With over 15 years of experience as a qualified teacher, alongside my work training teachers and leading professional development, I use the most effective, research-informed strategies to maximise progress. My lessons are both supportive and challenging - I build students’ confidence while maintaining high expectations.

Students leave each session knowing exactly what they’ve improved and what their next steps are, creating a clear pathway to success in GCSE and A Level History.
