As a highly experienced teacher of GCSE and A level History, I plan well structured and engaging lessons with features that support access for all students and allow for the ongoing assessment for learning. I use quizzes or other retrieval activities to establish prior learning or assess progress. I often introduce new topics using primary sources or extracts from books to provide stimulus and also use them in activities as a way to engage students and to develop their analytical and critical thinking skills. I plan all my lessons around a key question that is aimed to ensure relevance as well as wider, contextual understanding. I provide prompts, sentence starters and word lists to help students formulate answers verbally and write effective and concise answers. I regularly incorporate visual materials to support learning that are always specific and directly support learning. I conclude all my lessons with an activity that is designed to provide an opportunity for students to showcase their learning (and for me as a teacher to assess their progress and adjust my plans and/or resources for next lesson). In addition to my ongoing assessment of students during each lesson, I regularly test their knowledge and understanding through set essay questions which I mark using a standardised grid designed around the Assessment Objectives for the course and always provide detailed and specific feedback.

Throughout my teaching career, I have had the opportunity to deliver a wide range of topics across GCSE and A level. My main expertise is Cold War History which I taught both and GCSE (AQA) and A level and specialise in at A level for AQA Unit 2. I have taught US History, including the Civil Rights Movement which I specialise in as I delivered it as part of examined units as well as for courseworkollowing the most recent changes to secondary History curriculum I have had to prepare for and teach examined units on Migration, Norman England and US domestic history. Previously I also taught Nazi Germany at GCSE and various AS and A level units on British History covering topics between 1895 and 1975.

I have a track record of supporting students to make expected and above expected progress both at GCSE and A level with a particular focus on successfully helping students to achieve top grades. In addition to this I have worked as an academic coach with A level students helping them to prepare for Oxbridge and Medicine applications. As a result of this, I am very familiar with all aspects of the application process as well as how to support students to achieve top grades.

I highly recommend Angela for her exceptional teaching. Throughout my A-Levels, she demonstrated an impressive ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner, making the learning experience enjoyable and engaging. Her passion for the subject was evident, motivating me to excel in my studies. She always provided constructive feedback and personalised guidance, helping me overcome challenges and achieve my academic goals. I am truly grateful for the valuable knowledge and skills she imparted, and I believe she would be an excellent choice for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and dedicated tutor.

Angela has an incredible gift for teaching! Her classes are always well structured and pre planned meaning I would always walk into them knowing I will come out of those learning something. Angela always encourages her students to perform to the best of their abilities and makes sure that she is challenging them whilst creating a pleasant environment for them to learn in. Angela was my teacher for GCSE and A-level history, I am now 26 years old so if I’m coming back to write a review after 10 years she must have been a great teacher! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great tutor.

How does this sound: Angela is the reason I received 94% on my A level History exam, she is an incredibly dedicated and passionate teacher who uses creative methods of teaching to continuously push students to go above what their minimum expectations are. Angela has always been willing to help students struggling outside of teaching time and continuously challenged me to think outside mainstream views which pushed the analysis marks I needed in the exam. She always makes content easy to understand and is always adaptable. Angela is further a great consultant for higher education such as Oxbridge. She has taught me interview techniques and blind exam tactics which I still use today, which helped me in securing a job at Goldman Sachs. Overall, I could not recommend Angela enough. She is a lovely individual who genuinely cares for her students and a great (and very funny) mentor for getting into university, but also later life.
