Highly experienced Oxbridge PhD-educated online History tutor: offering A-Level, IB, undergraduate and Master's level tuition

For almost 15 years, I've been teaching History online to students from all over the world. I have a comprehensive academic background: including holding a Master's degree in History of International Relations from the London School of Economics (LSE); a Bachelor's in History from the University of East Anglia (UEA); and studying for a doctorate in History at the University of Oxford.

I also work as an academic editor, and have huge experience of helping some of the finest academics in the world - many of them professors and lecturers at the University of Cambridge - publish ground-breaking books, chapters and peer-reviewed journal articles across the humanities and social sciences.

What I love about tutoring is the chance to work one-to-one with a student and zone in on their particular learning needs. I have a great deal of empathy, which enables me to quickly assess what materials and what method of teaching will work best. I use videos a great deal in helping explain various themes, periods and issues; but my aim is always to ask lots of questions and help my students learn how to think and write critically and with confidence.

From A-Level upwards, History requires an increasingly analytical approach from students. That's why the most important skill they can ever develop is critical thinking, enabling them to separate fact from fiction, objectivity from bias, but also to contextualize events from when they were taking place. Understanding the many different sides to a story, rather than forming an instant judgement, is often key.

Knowledge of ongoing historiographical debates and controversy in areas such as (among many others), Hitler's rise to power or the origins of the Cold War is also paramount. This becomes ever more the case at university: which demands more and more reading around the subject, encourages a sense of intellectual freedom, and rewards the confidence to argue a case effectively and with properly researched evidence.

My editing background also gives me great skills as a writing coach: I use Google Docs to work interactively with students in correcting their writing, ask questions and make recommendations around essays and dissertations.

Depending on your budget and availability, classes can be-or 90 minutes in length. It's entirely up to you. The first class is free.
