Niamh

Hi there! I'm Niamh (pronounced Neev). I'm a tutor of humanities and essay-based subjects with 5 years of experience in tutoring. My bachelor's degree is in Arabic and Linguistics and my A levels were in classical civilisations, law, psychology and sociology. I got a first in my degree and A*s in my A levels.

I took my own GCSEs A levels as a home-educated student and so learnt early on how to use the resources available online (past papers, mark schemes, examiner reports, online resources) to understand what the examiner wants and how to do really well in an exam. I love helping students to polish their skills so to do amazing in their exams, but also to learn skills in essay writing, research, time management and how to best learn that serves them throughout their time as a student and well into their careers.

I have experience helping students who are trying to achieve A*s as well as students who are looking to make an improvement further down the grade spectrum. I have helped students with all types of learning styles and am very happy to pace lessons to the individual student and their needs.

I have a focus on essay writing, evaluation and exam preparation, but I am also happy to help with gap-filling and learning content. When doing exam preparation we mostly use past papers and mark schemes as well as some essay writing tools as that's what matters the most for doing well in A level and GCSE subjects. I also have a number of engaging methods for teaching content where students need help catching up with content.
