Patient, discussion-led History educator with Cambridge teaching expertise.O, AS and A-Level History students needing exam support

Advert description
I'm a History educator with 4+ years of teaching experience, including 3 years 7 months specialising in Cambridge IGCSE, AS and A-Level History. My teaching is discussion-led and Socratic — I focus on helping students genuinely understand causes and consequences, not just memorise facts, through structured source analysis and argumentation practice. As Head of Global Perspectives at Makini School Cambridge, I deliver live lessons over Microsoft Teams, using assessment data to spot individual gaps and adjust my approach per student. Previously, as Head of Humanities at Noblegate International Academy, I taught History to IGCSE, AS and A-Level standard for three years, giving me strong familiarity with exam formats, mark schemes, and essay-writing skills students are assessed on. I also have direct one-on-one tutoring experience, building personalised lesson plans tailored to each student's pace and goals, tracking progress session by session, and communicating regularly with parents — skills that transfer directly to remote, individual teaching. My subject strengths cover History, Global Perspectives, and Sociology-related Humanities, plus Kiswahili, which has sharpened how clearly I explain concepts across ability levels. I teach both younger learners building foundational skills and older students preparing intensively for exams. I'm comfortable with live video platforms, digital whiteboards, and school LMS systems, with formal training in Microsoft Teams for Education and AI-assisted teaching tools. I use formative checks throughout lessons to catch misunderstandings early, and I hold safeguarding and child protection certification, which underpins how I build trust with students online. I bring specialist Cambridge History knowledge, genuine tutoring experience, strong feedback skills, and comfort with digital tools — all with a patient, student-centred approach focused on real understanding.
