Connor Martin

I am a fully qualified History and Politics teacher across KS3, KS4, and KS5, as well as an active pastoral leader. I am dedicated to helping students unlock their full academic potential while building lasting confidence. My classroom experience translates directly into high-impact online tutoring, tailored entirely to your individual goals. I am currently an AQA History GCSE examiner, specialising in the Norman England component.

I am offering GCSE History, specifically AQA, tutoring alongside KS3 tutoring in History.

My teaching philosophy relies on a narrative-driven approach. I believe that History and Politics are best understood through compelling, structured storytelling rather than dry memorisation. However, engagement is only half the battle. I seamlessly intersperse every lesson with rigorous exam practice, breaking down mark schemes, mastering essay-writing techniques, and sharpening source analysis.

This dual approach yields exceptional results. I maintain a proven track record of academic excellence; last year, 35% of my GCSE students achieved a Grade 9, the highest possible mark.
Beyond the academics, my background as a pastoral leader means I understand the immense pressure students face. I specialise in reducing exam anxiety, boosting motivation, and creating a supportive, patient learning environment where students feel safe to challenge themselves.

Whether you are navigating the transition into KS3, aiming for top marks at GCSE, I provide the specialist subject knowledge and exam strategies you need to succeed.

Let’s work together to master your subjects and hit those top grades. Please feel free to reach out to discuss how we can get started!
