Qualified Teacher: Humanities and History tutor for all ages

Qualified and experienced class teacher available for tutoring individuals or groups in History.

I specialise in developing critical thinking skills and enjoy teaching through leading debates and dialogue. I have found that this allows students to engage with historical arguments more intuitively than in essay writing, and I work on the basis that essay writing skills grow out of this ability to engage in discursive conversation.

I can help develop your capacity to question historical material from different perspectives, allowing you to be more critical of sources or of received historical narratives. For me, history is a lot more than just learning facts and dates, it is about how we think about the past and apply it to the present. I will encourage you to make comparisons and contrasts with today, to help bring history to life.

Most of all, learning should be an enjoyable process. I would like to find out from you why you are interested in history, and develop my teaching material based on your own passions!
