Hi there, I’ve been teaching KS3, 4 and 5 history & geography classes for the last 4 and a bit years, prior to this I taught in a primary school for a year.Whilst at school, I had a fantastic geography teacher who used to tell me all about her travels & adventures which ignited an interest in me that has become everlasting - this is something I hope to also ignite in my students as I’ve been very fortunate on my adventures & it all started with geography and history.I studied both geography & history at university focusing on the physical landscapes of our environment, climatology and how the urb...

Specialist tutor with 8 years of experience. All school subjects covered with lessons being results driven - no matter what the issue may be I will help each student find the best way they can study.Each lesson is specific and tailored to the students need - no lesson is the same.Each first lesson is a “session zero” where I will get to know the student more, what they like and what they dislike and then produce brand new and unique lesson experiences from then on. For example: say the student is struggling with math and really enjoys Harry Potter - I will incorporate aspects of Harry Potter wit...

I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024. I decided to study English Literature at university because I've always loved reading books and discussing them at length. Reading and analysing books gives us a better understanding of the world we operate within, human psychology, and the past. Outside of English, I love to draw, knit, and embroider. I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...
