Teaching has always been a passion and I am extremely dedicated to my job role. I enjoy all types of teaching and have taught all ages and in all types of environments. Alongside teaching English, maths, and science, etc, I also like to focus on the child’s holistic development which I believe is pivotal. I also do private tutoring online on one to one basis and group sessions. I like to teach my children through joyful interaction which assists them in reaching their full potential and achieving above and beyond their level of expectations. I have seen dramatic improvements from children who started off with very little or no English-speaking skills at all in becoming the highest achievers, furthermore, receiving recognition and awards in their educational institutions. I am very soft-hearted towards the children I teach, nevertheless, this does not mean that they can get away with not completing their studies. I am extremely flexible and can easily adapt quickly to new situations. You will find me highly empathic towards the children and very understanding, regardless of their age. All people big or small should be treated with the utmost respect. I do my best to dedicate my spare time to supporting charity events, group talks, and teaching children.

Hi! I'm David, a student at the University of Edinburgh. I love reading, cooking, swimming, and playing the piano. I have two years of experience in tutoring, as I spearheaded a volunteering program during my last two years of high school to tutor kids in a wide array of subjects. Therefore, I am trained to tutor in most high school subjects, although I am best at tutoring science subjects (biology, chemistry, and mathematics.) I am always open to new ideas and different methods of teaching in order to provide the best experience for my tutees. I look forward to helping as much as possible, so contact me in order to set up a free trial session, so that we can establish learning goals and design a strategy to achieve them.

I will create tailor-made lesson plans for each student and also set regular homework for them to complete between sessions, which I will then mark and provide feedback. I also have extensive experience of the exam boards studied at GCSE and A-Level. Please do feel free to message me with any queries or questions and I am more than happy to help! Alternatively, I am happy to provide a free trial meeting.

I am a current teacher and I have been teaching for eleven years. I first started tutoring at the age of sixteen, when I was recruited by the company that supported me with tutoring. Therefore I have nineteen years of tutoring experience! No student I have ever taught has been the same, therefore I place priority on individually tailored lessons. Most students come to me with a weakness or lack of confidence in the subject they need support with and I throughly enjoy seeing them sail through exams because they have been shown the appropriate technique and exactly how to hit those top marks. It's been so enjoyable having students and parents message me straight after exams in regards to how confident they felt. As a tutor I regularly check in with parents/guardians with monthly reports and examples of work so you can see the progress for yourselves. However, the support doesn't stop once students have sat their exams. I offer free UCAS and personal statement support to previous tutees to support them in their ongoing learning journey.

Having achieved QTS status in May 2009 at the University of Worcester, I have spent the past 13 years doing something I love: teaching history. During my career I have taught history to students from KS3 all the way through to A Level - attaining results in the top 10% of the country on multiple occasions. I still love my job today as much as I did when I first started - I love reading new books and listening to podcasts that continually evolve our understanding of the past. I am also a qualified Edexcel Examiner who specialises in Weimar and Nazi Germany. My particular specialisms at A- level are the Tudors and 19th century American History but I’ve taught a wide variety of specs and exam boards over the years. My passion for History runs deep. I was recently lucky enough to co-author a new Medicine through Time GCSE textbook through OUP and, in 2018, I participated in the BBC Back in Time for School series - a truly life changing experience. Away from History, I’m a keen football, cricket and golf fan. I’m also a dad to two young boys. I’m very excited about the opportunity to provide History tuition in my spare time. I hope that my enthusiasm, drive and approachability will help others achieve as much enjoyability and success from the discipline of History as I have.

Hi, I'm Aleysha - a History tutor and a recent History graduate from the University of Oxford, graduating with First Class Honours. I can provide tutoring for History GCSE, A Level and International Baccalaureate. I also provide tutoring for personal statement writing (general), essay writing skills (general) and Oxbridge interview preparation. I am an academic and admissions tutor for voluntary organisation The Oxbridge Launchpad, and I help students with Oxbridge admissions and subject-specific tutoring. I am also an academic tutor and I have helped students excel in their History IB, A Level and GCSE. My students have gone on to achieve top grades and have a high Oxbridge acceptance rate. My approach to tutoring includes fostering independent thought. I develop students' pre-existing knowledge base further, providing them with insights outside the curriculum that will impress examiners. I also help students create essay plans and give them effective advice on exam techniques to help them approach exam questions. I also believe in the importance of providing balanced and objective feedback; feedback should never be overly critical and I strongly believe every student has something important to say. I will guide students to ensure their arguments are well substantiated. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to book a lesson!

Teaching is my Passion but just a profession. I started teaching at a tender age of 12 and since then I've been teaching students from the age of 3 up to 74. I have taught Business, Economics, Accounting, Math, English, Sociology, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Politics, Geography and History for GCSE/ OL and Advanced Level examinations for popular local and international exam boards including Cambridge, Edexcel, OCR and AQA. During my 22 years of formal school teaching career and more than 25 years of tutoring, I have produced most World Prize Winners who scored 600/600 for the above subjects in the above mentioned examinations consecutively over many years. I have also lectured at Universities and tutored for undergraduates, post graduates and PhD students and helped with their assignments and assessments over the years. My classes are interactive and fun to learn which make the students love not just like the subject. I discuss a range of past exam questions, self-prepared exams and training the students to improve their writing skills in theory subjects and improve their analytical skills in other. My most important asset of all is my flexibility and adaptability to the individual requirements and needs of each student and preparing myself accordingly. This skill I have gained by teaching students of all culture and age groups from 63 different countries. Demo lessons I’ve attached some links below of my demo lessons which will give an idea on my teaching methodology. Please feel free to contact me if you have any more queries.

Teaching Experience Maxim has tutored since graduating from Oxford in 2019. He has delivered over 1000 hours of tutoring, a testament to his commitment and dedication. In 2022, one of Maxim's students scored an A* in A-Level Politics, despite the Covid-19 pandemic. His students regularly gain top grades in A-levels and coursework. In 2021, both long-term Politics students got their desired grades and went to their dream universities. Maxim has experience across the Humanities, including various A-Level Politics syllabi and exam boards. The Oxbridge tutorial system (going through essays forensically and discussing them in depth) is central to Maxim's tutoring. These were, in his own words, "the best years of my life, with a learning experience I'm keen to share." Testimonials “The amount of history and your ability to create a timeline in order to help me learn the syllabus, although (it) may seem like common sense, makes the course much easier to understand thanks to you.” Andreas (A-Level Politics student) “Maxim tutored our son regularly throughout his A level Politics course. He was awarded an A* in his exam. Maxim has extensive background knowledge about the subject, exam technique and offers patience and persistence. Our son said he misses the sessions now the exams are over, which is a real endorsement. I would thoroughly recommend Maxim.” Jane (parent of former Politics student) Bio Maxim is a Masters student in London, studying Broadcast Journalism. Before that, he spent two years working exclusively as a freelance History and Politics tutor. He spent three years at Trinity College, Oxford reading History and Politics. At Oxford, Maxim focused on British and international politics, achieving high marks in International Relations and US Politics. While a student, Maxim also appeared on University Challenge and was twice an elected member of the Oxford Union's governing body. Maxim got three A grades at A-Level, notching up 100% in UK Politics with additional success in US Politics. Maxim received offers from LSE and Warwick along with Oxford.

I am a fourth-year PhD student in the English and Comparative Literature department at King’s College London. I have been a teacher in this department for the past couple of years, giving me extensive experience lecturing and delivering seminar-style teaching to undergraduate and postgraduate students. I have been marking essays and examinations, offering students advice on improving the strength of their argument, critical reading and analysis, and structural features. I have taught English as a foreign language to non-native speakers abroad in Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. This has given me valuable skills to increase conversational skills, vocabulary range, and correct grammar, diction, and sentence construction in students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. I have volunteered in primary and secondary schools as a tutor, helping students with special needs and learning difficulties struggling with English. I specialise in improving the written communication and critical thinking skills of GCSE and A-Level students in various arts and humanities subjects: philosophy, history, ancient history, politics, and, particularly, English Language and Literature. I am well versed in the set texts, syllabuses, and assessed content of several examination boards: Edexcel, AQA, International Baccalaureate, Cambridge IGCSE, WJEC, and Scottish Highers. I have also helped students prepare for Oxford interviews and admissions tests, sit the GAMSAT and BMAT medical entrance exams, and pass the IELTS English proficiency exams. I am a naturally patient and open-minded teacher who ensures each lesson is tailor-made to suit each student’s personal needs and learning motivations. I have high standards in the hard work and respect I expect from my students. I am motivated by my students' progress and am willing to adapt and improve my teaching strategies to help students achieve the academic success they deserve.

Business Owner, Board Member, Tutor My students vary from home schooling to state schools, to grammar and private schools, even international. I have also taught mature learners and skill building. I assist in UCAS, personal statements, CV creation and interview preparation. Collectively creating a broad expertise within the tutoring industry I set up a company training further tutors to deliver the same level of brilliance that I pride myself on. I hold an undergraduate degree in Business Economics and a masters of science from Royal Holloway in Economics. This has allowed me to turn my passion for Economics into a more enriching tutoring deliverance in Economics, Business, Finance and Accounting, and further related subjects. I have undertaken a lot of long term students as well as exam prep last minute crash courses in all A-Level and GCSE subjects and beyond. Furthermore, I often supervise students in their individual work by helping them create a revision schedule which I keep in touch to ensure the student stays on track, check through their work, feedback for improvement and fill gaps I see need attention. Every student requires a different approach to which I adjust, at the core of which I always lead with engagement, effectiveness and efficiency.

How can I get top marks in History?

To get top marks in your History GCSE, you need to be able to write a strong essay with a clear argument. It's important to be knowledgable about all the content in the GCSE syllabus and be able to recall key facts and figures in the exam.

Is History a good GCSE?

History is a tough GCSE, with lots of facts, content and sources to learn about. It's a really good GCSE to have, as it develops your critical thinking skills and prepares you for the in-depth studying required at A Level and Degree Level. History GCSE encourages students to be curious and discuss topics with each other.

What does a GCSE History tutor do?

A GCSE History tutor will teach you how to answer GCSE History questions to a high standard and how to meet the exam specification to hit those top marks. You'll learn how to plan History essays, analyse History sources and write a strong and coherent essay for coursework or exams.

Are you searching for a History GCSE Tutor?

History GCSE is certainly a challenging subject. It demands that you recall how certain historical events unfolded over vast time periods as well as analyse source materials and create compelling arguments in preparation for your final GCSE exams. From here on things become a little more in-depth and complex. Topics tend to dip in and out of the close evaluation of decisions made in a couple of hours to the impact they had years down the line. Achieving the highest possible grade is not only beneficial in the short term. 

 

For long term goals of further education, GCSE History is a foundation block upon which you build your further education from History A-Level to university and beyond. Even if you are not thinking about taking your History beyond GCSE level it is important to remember the negative impact lower grades can have when applying for traineeships, apprenticeships, and even internships. 

 

As work experience places become more and more competitive don’t let lower grades get in the way of your future career goals. It is now more important than ever to invest in your or your child's education so that you are best prepared for the future whatever may be in store. 

 

With a History tutor from Tutor House, you can rest assured that you are in the best hands before the GCSE History exam. For best results we recommend finding and booking your tutor ahead of time, leaving at least 3 months before your History exam. In this amount of time, we have seen our past students achieve well above their current grade level and achieve results up to 3 grades higher with Tutor House tutoring!
