History and Politics at GCSE and A Level: highly experienced teacher, bridging the gap between the classroom and your success.

My lessons are always completely student-focused, aiming to empower learners and give you the confidence and resilience to formulate opinions, develop explanations and lines of argument and ultimately achieve. I begin by discussing your individual requirements and goals, be they particular aspects of exam technique, specific themes or topics or more general study skills, such as note-taking or revision strategies. These are then the basis of all of my planning and lessons are continually adapted as you progress or to find different approaches that will work for you. History teachers are always flexible: there are a huge range of time periods and topics out there, so we are experts at mastering all that we need to and applying our understanding of exam requirements to these. My most recent teaching in schools has covered the Edexcel and OCR History A Levels, Edexcel Politics A Level and CAIE iGCSE and Edexcel GCSE in History. I have been an examiner for Edexcel A Level Politics. Each lesson will include some focus on exam/assessment materials, be it planning a practice question, reviewing work you have completed either as part of, or in addition to, your normal school or college tasks, or focusing on a particular feature of exam questions, such as writing a conclusion or interpreting cartoon sources. Any additional notes or resources are at no extra charge.
