I’ve taught A-Level History for eight years, with most of my students coming to me for help with essays and source questions. Modern European history is my strongest area, particularly Russia and the Cold War. In lessons, we usually take an argument apart before rebuilding it into a focused answer. I also mark timed essays regularly, as this is often where students improve fastest.

History clicked for me when I stopped treating it as a subject full of dates and started looking at why people made the choices they did. That is how I teach A-Level History now. I’ve tutored for five years and particularly enjoy British political history and the Tudors. I spend plenty of lesson time on essay planning because a good argument usually matters more than squeezing in every fact you know.

I am a former secondary school History teacher with over a decade of classroom and private tutoring experience. My A-Level students often need support turning detailed knowledge into analytical writing, so I place considerable emphasis on judgement, evidence and paragraph structure. My academic interest is twentieth-century international history, and I particularly enjoy teaching the origins and development of the Cold War.

Hi, I’m a History tutor who genuinely enjoys a difficult essay question! I’ve worked with A-Level students for four years, usually helping with revision, source analysis and getting essays finished within the time limit. I’m especially interested in Chinese and Southeast Asian history. I like using short planning drills in lessons, where we spend five minutes deciding what the argument should actually be before anyone starts writing.

Before tutoring full time, I worked in historical research and later began supporting sixth-form students with A-Level History. I have seven years of tutoring experience and specialise in modern political history. My lessons are fairly discussion-led: students are expected to question interpretations rather than simply memorise them. Closer to exams, I shift towards timed responses, source evaluation and detailed feedback on essays.

I started tutoring A-Level History while completing postgraduate study and have stayed with it ever since. Six years later, essay writing remains the part I most enjoy teaching. I’m particularly interested in European revolutions and nineteenth-century politics. Students often bring me essays that contain plenty of knowledge but no clear position, so we work on making the argument visible from the introduction right through to the conclusion.
