Having taught a range of abilities for the past 15 years, I am able to provide targeted support for each individual student and their needs. I will work with each student to identify their strengths and weaknesses and support them in developing their knowledge and exam technique. My sessions have a big focus on improving the depth of knowledge and understanding through a range of activities and discussions, followed by testing the application of that knowledge in applying it to an exam question. We will look at a range of different example exam answers and work together to apply the markscheme and then make improvements. We will also work together to create a revision plan which will put everything from our sessions into action!

Most importantly, I make sure that my students are comfortable by creating a friendly and light atmosphere where they feel able to ask any questions!

I had the privilege of being tutored by Donna for my A-level History exam retake in 2017. Her lessons were very structured and thorough and made great use of the time we had. Her knowledge and instruction stemming from her experience as a teacher was invaluable and she offered advice on everything from exam technique and timings to revision methods. She was always kind and patient and always friendly which made the sessions enjoyable and we were able to have a laugh together at times. She also often set tasks for me to complete at home and shared numerous invaluable sources to further my own knowledge and revision skills. Ultimately this helped me bring my grade from a C to an A in my retake and I went on to study History at university. The revision skills and approach to source analysis I picked up from her continued to help me throughout my undergraduate degree and beyond. Thanks again Donna - you certainly helped foster my love for history!

Donna taught me History a few years ago and she was one of the best teachers I have ever had. She was so supportive, patient and lovely and her teaching motivated me to pursue History at University level. One of my favourite teachers! Very warm hearted and intelligent. Donna teaches in a very positive and engaging manner, which helped me remember and understand topics well. I would definitely recommend.
