I am an experienced A-level, and International Baccalaureate level History teacher, aged 76, who loves teaching and has also been an examiner and assessor for the Cambridge Board, so I know what examiners, markers, and others are looking for from students. I am a keen cyclist, guitarist, and singer. I like reading, gardening, and cooking. I am married with three grown-up children and live in Marple, on the edge of the Peak District.

My basic approach to teaching is to leqrn from the student what they need, to introduce study skills for History, including how to approach reading and remembering what you read, how to plan and write essays, and how to prepare for examinations. I have taught a wide variety of historical topics and courses. I have a lot of teaching resources on my computer. My specialism is the history of Imperialism.
