John Knight

Hello! I’m an experienced university lecturer in Ancient History and Classical Archaeology, offering engaging and accessible lessons for students of all levels. Whether you're looking to improve your essay writing, prepare for exams, or explore a particular topic in depth, I’ll tailor each session to your goals and learning style.

My lessons are interactive, supportive, and designed to build both subject knowledge and confidence. I use a wide range of tools—visual aids, discussion prompts, historical case studies, and even animations—to help make complex ideas clear and memorable. I’ve also created custom resources like an “interactive toolbox” to guide students through tasks such as source analysis and historical interpretation.

Having taught at universities like Liverpool, Leicester, and Dundee, I bring a wealth of teaching experience across undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I’ve designed entire university modules, delivered online and in-person teaching, and developed inclusive, multimedia materials that support different learning needs—including neurodiverse students and those returning to study after a break.

For distance learners, I offer well-structured online lessons using platforms like Zoom or Teams. I ensure consistent communication and provide tailored follow-up materials to support your progress between sessions.

Whether you're studying for GCSEs, A-levels, university courses, or simply learning for interest, I can help you develop key skills in critical thinking, research, writing, and communication—all while making the ancient world come alive.

Feel free to get in touch with any questions. I look forward to helping you succeed!
