Hey, My name is Lourenco and I am currently an Undergraduate at Bristol University studying History. I am a passionate Historian who loves reading around History and ongoing events around the world. I have been a GCSE English tutor and a History tutor for just over a year now, and would love to expand my tutoring to include A level Politics (Or GCSE!) as I achieved an A* grade and love talking and teaching about the Political climate we face. I love to debate and talk to students as in the subjects I teach, it is essential to understanding why events or how events unfolded, and being able to point out numerous interpretations is an incredible skill for Historians to develop. I love politics and am an avid reader of the news and love to talk to different people about the state of the world. I am also a keen Rugby player and understand that it can be very difficult to balance co-curricular with the exam season and can provide help if this is an issue.
At A Level I received an A* in Edexcel Politics
A in Edexcel History with 40/40 on my coursework
A in Edexcel Economics
I love talking to students about the subject, and for me understanding the context is absolutely essential to understanding the subject, whether it's poems, ideology or even the structure of Parliament. Especially at A level, understanding the ideologies present in the era of History we are studying is essential, and it is this understanding that seperates A and A* Students from the rest of the country. I challenge my students to make sure they can support their argument, as often in English Politics and History, claims are made with little support, and by frequently debating these views it helps students develop a method of supporting their points, which examiners love and is also a useful life skill. My lessons frequently involve looking into depth at aspects on the course where students claim to find challenging and understanding why the Student found a particular aspect of the course challenging, and how we can overcome these difficulties in the future.
