Matthew

History & English tutor with a strong research background and extensive writing and editing skills. My qualifications include a MSc in History with Merit from the University of Edinburgh and a BA in History with First-Class Honours from the University of Sussex. I also secured first class marks for both my master's and undergraduate dissertations. During my time learning my craft as a historian, I studied a diverse array of time periods and historical regions. My master's dissertation explored the topic of male monastic mores and religious history in medieval Japan while my underground dissertation was focused on British social history through a multidisciplinary approach. As a tutor this has allowed me to instruct across multiple areas of specialisation, at a broad and detailed level of study. The tools I have learned have successfully helped my students improve their essay writing, analytical and problem-solving abilities.

Tutored clients in European History, US History and English Language & Literature. Strong focus on improving academic writing skills and understanding of historical method. Helping clients to analyse primary sources and documents and incorporate them into their writing. Using teaching strategies and communication skills to convey and deliver the best advice and results for clients. My clients have seen their essay, exam and coursework scores increased after several weeks of tutoring sessions with me.

I am initiative-taking, open-minded, and have excellent communication skills. I am eager to offer my expertise while keeping our sessions fun, easy-going and informative.
