My lessons are tailored to each student's individual needs, learning style, and exam board. Whether you're aiming to improve your understanding of key historical events, strengthen your essay writing, or boost your confidence before exams, I create a supportive and engaging environment where you can make steady progress.

A typical lesson begins by identifying any areas you're finding challenging before working through the topic together using clear explanations, discussion, and exam-style questions. We'll focus on developing the skills that GCSE History examiners are looking for, including source analysis, interpretation questions, and structured essay writing. Regular practice with feedback helps you understand how to improve and maximise your marks.

As a final-year BA History student consistently achieving high 2:1 grades, I have a strong academic understanding of history and current exam techniques. Alongside my university studies, I have experience teaching and supporting students, helping them build confidence and achieve their academic goals.

My aim is not only to improve your grades but also to help you enjoy history and become a more independent, confident learner. Every lesson is adapted to your pace, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.
