History can seem like a really hard subject, with way too much information to digest, all I want to say is don’t panic! There’s plenty of ways to improve your methods when it comes to battling the challenge that is A-Level history, many of which at one point seemed too much for me as well. Having obtained a high A* in all exams and also my coursework at A-Level and continued this subject into university, I am keen to share the techniques and methods I used to anyone in the need of help.
My lessons will essentially be student-ran, A-Level history is so varied I want to know the specific issues that you have in order to properly give the help you may need. This may include; essay-writing, note-taking, reading, coursework, etc.
As A-Level history covers so many different topics throughout the various different exam boards, I want to emphasise that although my techniques and knowledge can be used for any topic you may be facing, my tutoring would mainly specialise in:
Britain
The Witch craze
Westward Expansionism
The Vietnam War
Although my specialisation is in those 4 historic frames, do not hesitate to ask for help if you are doing any other of the various history courses, as I’m sure I can help in all.
The key to history at A Level is harnessing the exam technique to your advantage, meaning that exam markers can’t give you anything but a good mark! By constantly sticking to good exam technique, and thereby the exact essay skills that a marker will want to see, you will see your grade jump to wherever you want it to be. My primary focus in lessons will be to help you use these techniques in any respect that you need, whether that’s in timed essays or even in coursework.
