I am a friendly and approachable teacher who will be committed to helping you with your studies. I have subject led History, Politics, Economics and EPQ at various stages in my career. I'm currently subject leader for the latter 3 at Frome College. I have also previously been Head of Sixth Form so can advise on UCAS applications if this is of interest to you.
I have 15 years teaching experience in state education - comprehensive and grammar. Consequently I have experience of teaching students across the ability range and will tailor my sessions to suit you and your target grade. I am currently subject leader for Politics, Economics and EPQ. Prior to this I was Subject Leader of History and Politics and Head of Year 8 at a high performing grammar school in Gloucestershire and a teacher of History and Economics at Cleeve School - a very successful comprehensive near Cheltenham. I have also completed some examiner marking and exam paper proofing for OCR.
I am flexible with my approach according to what works with each tutee. I can tutor in person if nearby or online. Usually I will complete a session on one topic then work through past exam questions to build confidence and get used to the style of question and how to respond. I am particularly good at improving tutees exam technique, which is so key to doing well at A level. I will provide high quality resources for further reading and be thoroughly prepared, reliable and approachable.
