Hazel

I graduated in June 2024 with a 2.1 in History from the University of Aberdeen. I also received an A in Advanced Higher History in 2018 whilst at secondary school. During my first two years of university, I also studied French. I am currently volunteering both with the Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Council Archives and at the University of Aberdeen Collections. I am also a member of the Scottish Society for the History of Medicine. I have accepted an unconditional offer to study an MLitt in Scottish Heritage, which will begin in January 2025.

Tutoring Experience

I have very recent experience in university education, meaning I have a range of knowledge from different historical eras, and I am also very much aware of the benefits and challenges of studying History at university, which I can bring to my tutees. For those in their final year of secondary school, I can give advice on how to approach History in further education.

Tutoring Approach

For Advanced Higher pupils, I will be focusing primarily on those who need advice on their dissertation, as well as guidance on whether applying to a History course is a right fit for them, and if so, where is a good university to attend for that individual.

For university students, I am available to give a range of different advice. Regarding assessments, I can give advice to those who are struggling on how to improve their essays, how to find suitable primary sources for assessments and how to give university presentations. I am also available to give guidance on how to manage the workload as well as prospects after graduation.
