I find that developing essay skills is the most useful part in teaching. This can include essays for sources and extracts too. There is only so far just learning the knowledge will take you, applying the knowledge is the most important part.

If there are any parts of the knowledge you are struggling with I will try my best to help and ask you questions to develop a deeper understanding into what you are learning instead of just learning surface level information. This will help with your analytical skills. I will also encourage you to work through making some essay plans if you feel as though this could benefit you because I know it benefitted me during exam season as it was helpful to see everything structured.

At A level I studied Wars of the Roses and the making of a superpower (USA), I also did my coursework on the Tudors. My additional EPQ was on the Holocaust and the way in which the treatment of victims differed.

I will be using google docs, sheets etc. as I find this is the best way for collaborative work. I also find that Quizlet is an extremely beneficial app and will guide you to this for studying if you feel like this is a good fit for you and if you are studying the same topics that I did at A levels I can provide you with my username and you can use already created resources.

As I have gone through the stress of exams I will try my best to guide you in ways to deal with the extremely overwhelming time because it is very difficult. This will include me helping you break down the tasks you have to do into more manageable pieces.
