Michael T
Experienced History GCSE English Tutor
A patient, friendly tutor, I have developed a wealth of experience during the last 3 years working in schools, both as an SEN teaching assistant and then as a general classroom supply teacher. During that time, I have worked with all age groups from reception up to 6th form.My teaching style is based on the philosophy that there is no single approach that works for every student.

From there I will try to tailor our lessons...

After months of reading books on essay writing, editing and re-editing my work, I cracked it; with writing becoming my strongest skill.My lessons aim to fast-track you on that path, but also to bolster your knowledge of the topic so that you have some more complex insight into the topics, possessing what so many other students lack.I have produced award-winning historical and philosophical research, as well as having written published articles on...

Samuel B
Three years of experience tutoring History and English
Hello, I'm Samuel. I'm currently doing a PhD in History at the University of Manchester and have been tutoring History and English for three years. I'm looking to help boost confidence as well as marks, and to give pupils a new perspective on the way they are working. This will involve the development of writing skills, exam techniques and an open mindset which aims as high as possible. In fact, I have found students are often capable of exceeding their set target grades.After an initial assessment, I plan sessions around the strengths and weaknesses of each pupil, using methods borrowed from teaching,...
