History graduate and current law student offering History, English and Maths lessons around Manchester

Methodology

I offer tutoring across the core GCSE subjects, specialising in English, Maths and History. I can tutor A-level students in Maths, English (Combined) and History. I also offer tutoring for degree-level historians. I specialise in tutoring high-achieving students but am able to tailor sessions to ability as required.

I believe that students must be tutored to work independently. I challenge students to answer questions themselves, by pointing them to relevant details in the materials and asking probing questions. My approach is very student-led, giving students maximum opportunity to tackle problems themselves, such that they can use this approach for exams.

Background

I have undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in History from the University of St Andrews, achieving honours of the first class. Having worked for two years in solicitor firms, I have now returned to university for a law qualification.

I have been tutoring for 7 years alongside my own studies. I tutor high school and college students across the core subjects, specialising in Maths, English and Humanities. I can also offer teaching to degree-level History students.

I also assist with university applications and scholarship applications. I have personally received scholarships for a Masters degree and for the Graduate Diploma in Law. Several of my students have been admitted to top universities, including Edinburgh University and St Andrews University.
