Nia H
Approachable and patient History tutor
I am highly experienced after spending 10 years in the classroom teaching History, with 3 of those as Head of Department. I enjoy helping students to prepare for their exams, and have a wealth of knowledge to share having spent time as a GCSE examiner for Edexcel. Exam skills are the key to success, so sessions will pay particular attention to improving written skills! History skills are transferable, so I am willing to tutor students following AQA, Edexcel or WJEC (Eduquas). In my time as a History teacher I taught a wide range of topics at KS3 and KS4. I am happy to tutor GCSE students covering...
