My history lessons are tailored to meet each student’s individual needs and goals. Whether you’re preparing for exams, working on coursework, or simply looking to deepen your understanding of history, I’ll create a supportive and engaging learning environment that helps you build confidence and skills.
Typically, lessons combine clear explanations of key historical concepts with practical activities like essay writing, source analysis, and exam technique practice. I focus not just on memorizing facts but on helping you understand how to think critically about history interpreting evidence, constructing arguments, and making connections across different periods and themes.

With over six years of experience teaching history in the UK, I’m familiar with the curriculum requirements and exam expectations for GCSE, A-level, and equivalent courses. My background as an examiner means I can offer valuable insights into what examiners look for, helping you to improve both content and technique.

Lessons are interactive and tailored, I encourage questions and adapt my approach based on your learning style, whether that means more discussion, visual aids, or practice questions. My goal is to make history interesting and accessible while equipping you with the skills to succeed independently.
If you’re ready to boost your history knowledge and exam performance, I’d love to work with you.
