My lessons will be based around communication with students as to what they feel they need extra help with in their History specification. This information will then allow me to formulate a lesson around the three points that I mentioned in the advertisement which are building knowledge, gaining opinions and points of view, and finally using these acquired skills to answer exam questions.

An example of how a one hour lesson will be structured based on a student struggling with the topic of religion during Elizabethan England:

1) (knowledge building, 20 mins) I will ask the student what they can already tell me about the subject and then proceed by filling in gaps in knowledge and explaining the significance of certain events such as the northern rebellion and the religious settlement. This will be mainly me explaining the topic to the student.

2) (gaining opinions on historical topics, 20 mins) This part will be a conversation/discussion based on what the student has learned at what they think are the most important factors as to why religion was a key aspect of Elizabethan England.

3) (answering exam questions, 20 mins) This will then combine the first two parts to answer exam questions that could be posed to the student. I will explain what the question is asking the student to do and how they can structure and plan an answer. This will also include tips about time management and preparation. I will also give feedback and mark the student's plans/answers in my own time.

This structure is based off of how I have been taught and how I have studied during my own journey with History.

In terms of experience, I have recently graduated with a 2:1 in History & Politics from Loughborough University and am an avid fan of reading about History and current affairs in my personal life. I have worked with children before and can empathize with them about exam stress and worries that they might have which will allow me to build their confidence.
