Online History and Geography Tutoring

Qualified teacher and Durham graduate - Teaching RE, History, Geography, Politics and assisting with extended writing approach

Tutoring Experience

I hold an honours degree from Durham University (Grey College) in History and Education, graduating in 2019. Following this I trained to teach through Gordon's School, Woking and the University of Sussex. I then moved to Downsend School in Surrey where I was Head of Year and a Teacher of Humanities.

I hold a firm belief that all students are capable of thriving academically through giving them the confidence and toolbox of skills needed to flourish. I have over 6 years of teaching experience in a variety of top performing schools both locally and internationally.

Additionally I am in a privileged place to have studied education while at Durham University giving me a strong foundational understanding in the learning/cognitive process with a strength in equipping students with the confidence to navigate public examinations.

Tutoring Approach

My lessons will focus on how best to equip students for success in humanities subjects.

I adopt an approach of building a toolbox approach that allows students to have all the necessary skills, confidence and knowledge to tackle any question that might arise in the exam.

Having spent the last 6 years as a teacher I have the necessary skills to make learning applicable, accessible and enjoyable. My previous tutees speak highly of my ability to equip them with the approaches necessary to be a successful humanities student in structure and content.

Finally one of my highly commended skills as a teacher is building understanding and confidence through effective questioning, drawing out ideas and knowledge through appropriate and intellectually challenging questions related to the topics discussed.
