GCSE and A Level History tutor giving lessons to students from Key Stages 3 to 5

Hello, I'm James! Currently I'm giving lessons for Edexcel, OCR and AQA History for A Level, and History of all exam boards for GCSE/KS3.

The majority of our focus will be on exam technique, including how to plan and write an essay keeping in mind the time limit, what specifically is being marked and how to achieve as many marks with as little 'filler' as possible, as well as tips for remembering the vast amounts of content. During our sessions, once we have have gone over the technique we will then practise real exam questions for your respective exam board.

I recieved top grades for my GCSE History and A Level NEA/Coursework, and I am very acquainted with what the exam markers are looking for. As our sessions will be online and the 2023 summer exams have now ended, my schedule is very flexible. For any queries please contact me.
