About Sophie

Hello and welcome, My name is Sophie. I work as a Teacher of Latin at Brighton College and as a Mental Health Youth Support Worker around East Sussex. I graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a 1st in Classics and went on to complete a Master's in custodial rehabilitation. I started my History Podcast in Lockdown and am continuing the podcast today. The podcast, Sibyl Service interviews historical heroes like Cleopatra, Queen Nefertiti, Marcus Aurelius, Michelangelo, Xenophon, Boudica, Hypatia and Frida Kahlo. It's about bringing the people from the past alive. Please get in touch if you are looking for a tutor!

My approach to tutoring GCSE History is rooted in curiosity. I aim to help students see the subject not as a list of dates and facts, but as a living conversation between past and present. Each lesson focuses on developing both knowledge and analytical skill, understanding causes, consequences, and interpretations, which is key to success in the GCSE exam. My teaching methodology combines structured explanation with guided discussion and active learning. I use timelines, primary sources, and short analytical exercises to build confidence in essay writing and argument development. I encourage students to think like historians: to question sources, make comparisons, and construct balanced, evidence-based arguments. Lessons are highly interactive, adapted to each student’s pace and preferred learning style, ensuring consistent progress. A typical lesson lasts about 60 minutes and includes a mix of review, focused teaching, and practice. I set small, manageable tasks between sessions — often short essays or source analyses — to reinforce learning and improve exam technique. I am currently a Part time teacher of Latin at Brighton College, with three years of experience teaching History from Common Entrance to GCSE. I hold a degree in Classics and curate a history podcast, The Sibyl Service, where I explore themes from Ancient to Modern history through Historical characters. My lessons are ideal for GCSE students who are struggling a bit with confidence and want to start enjoying the subject that I love so much!
