Experienced Online GCSE History Tutors

I graduated with a First from Oxford last year for my undergraduate History BA. I am really passionate about teaching and this year I have engaged in a variety of teaching roles, including volunteering as an English teacher for 3 months in Nepal. I have tutored History and Geography A level, alongside English Lit and Language GCSE for over 3 years. My tutoring style primarily revolves around teaching technique based essay writing improvements, and my students are able to massively boost their academic performance by focusing on these core skills. I am keen to provide a personalised experience tailored to each individual student which best suits their individual needs and learning approach. As a graduate in History, I am extremely experienced in essay writing (having to had to write weekly essays over 3 years). Thus I am well equipped to provide useful feedback and tips for any aspiring humanities student. I always like to be available to any of my students outside of sessions in case they have any queries or requests for content.

A dedicated and results-driven Graduate Economics and Politics teacher, with a Bachelor of Arts in History, Politics, and Economics from University College London (UCL). Throughout my academic journey, I have consistently achieved top grades, including As and A*s in a range of qualifications such as Pre-IG, IGCSEs, A-levels, and Foundation courses. I have successfully navigated multiple exam boards including OCR, Excel, and Cambridge, giving me a strong and versatile understanding of different curricula. With over three years of teaching experience, I have provided over 300 lessons and supported more than 30 students, helping them achieve their academic goals with tailored, comprehensive teaching methods. What sets me apart as a tutor is my commitment to providing an individualized learning experience that is both engaging and effective. My teaching style revolves around ensuring that students not only understand the core concepts but also develop the necessary exam techniques to excel. I place a strong emphasis on continuous checks for understanding throughout each lesson, ensuring that students are grasping the material and are able to apply their knowledge in different contexts. I believe in fostering a supportive environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and challenge themselves. Each session incorporates past paper questions to familiarize students with exam formats, ensuring they gain confidence in applying their knowledge under exam conditions. I also assign targeted homework with constructive feedback, which further strengthens their understanding and prepares them for their assessments. In addition to my academic background, I bring a global perspective to my tutoring, being fluent in Arabic, English, and Turkish, and possessing intermediate proficiency in Russian. This multilingual ability enables me to build strong rapport with students from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds, making the learning process more inclusive and approachable. Students choose me as their tutor not only for my strong academic qualifications and teaching experience but also for my structured, personalized approach to learning.

I am currently studying Neuroscience at King's College London this academic year 2024/25 and hope to become a tutor for you or your child. With my previous experience volunteering as a Patient befriender and a Mealtime buddy at Princess Royal University Hospital as part of the King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, I believe that I have the appropriate communication skills and teamwork to be able to provide an enjoyable teaching experience for my students. **Teaching style** To me, good communication is consistently and actively listening to the student’s needs and goals for their academic progress. This is very important to me as my role as a tutor and I would do this in a number of ways; - Clear presentations - Working through example questions/past papers with the student - Allowing the student time to make mistakes and walk through what to do next time - Draw/demonstrate any key concepts and break them down into easy and understandable points - Using engaging videos - NO QUESTION IS EVER A STUPID QUESTION! Whilst implementing all that is described above, I would create a safe, friendly and judgment-free space so student feel at ease to learn and develop an in-depth interest in their subject/s. As well as academic support, I am more than happy to support GCSE and A Level students to achieve their dreams by supporting your university application. I would do this by tailoring my support to whatever aspirations the student may have, to provide the relevant information for appropriate work experience, supercurriculars and extracurriculars as well as help to structure a fantastic personal statement. **My experience** During my time volunteering, I was committed to supporting patients the Dementia and Cardiology ward by meeting any dietary requests, provided a safe space for patients to talk to me about any queries and/or concerns or just to have a nice conversation. I learnt how to tailor my way of communication to the patients’ needs (i.e., difficulty hearing whilst wearing PPE) and become confident talking to elderly patients about their mental health—even a mere game of chess or painting their nails could lift their mood! Seeing how medical professionals work together to create a friendly environment amidst chaos was inspirational, helping me remain calm when working under pressure. Outside from my clinical experience, working at the call centre of Specsavers as an Optical Assistant helped me improve my ability to work under pressure more effectively and efficiently despite feeling stressed. When working for Specsavers, I was capable of presenting a high level of customer service when booking or cancelling a range of different appointments (including triaging emergency bookings), and informing patients of availability of glasses whilst being responsible for the call-centre on Sundays. My work experience at a local nursery taught me how to creatively encourage play and fun my joining in and making new and engaging games and help run Storytime and Circle Time sessions whilst bearing in mind their safety and well-being. Furthermore, ensuring that the young toddlers had eaten and taking naps at allocated times was a responsibility of mine that I found important as it allowed the children to learn the significance of rest for their minds and bodies. I look forward to being able to tutor incoming students and hope you will find my teaching an enjoyable and beneficial experience!

Hi, I am Andrew, a second year LSE student reading history. I am a strong believer that anyone who has the right guidance and a way into a topic or subject can achieve the very best grades. Similarly, with universities I believe that my experience of getting an offer at London’s best university (8 applications per place), according to the Complete University Guide and The Times, shows the strength of my approach. As a fully qualified Tennis Coach I have considerable experience in coaching people and in communicating effectively with people, all of whom learn in different ways. Coaching tennis has taught me important time management skills, when balancing that with academic work. I achieved 10 A* at GCSE (5 at Grade 8; 5 at Grade 9) and achieved 2 A* in History and in Economics and an A in Politics at A Level. I am particularly keen to help A Level Economics student who may struggle with the longer essay response questions, especially if they come from a STEM background where essays are not the norm for assessment. I am also interested in helping A Level History and Politics students. Likewise, I feel that I have much to offer GCSE students in Geography and History where I achieved two grade 9s. Moreover, I am also happy to help with university applications and to offer guidance over which course is best suited. I am happy to adapt to whichever learning style suits you best. My experience with coaching and over a year tutoring has helped me to become very adaptable.

Hello there! I'm a passionate final-year medical student with a BSc in Clinical Anatomy. I have been tutoring for over two years now, and will continue to do so to support my education until I finally graduate in 2025 as a junior doctor. I specialize in tutoring GCSE and KS3 students in a range of subjects, including Science, English Literature, English Language, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. My tutoring style is tailored to accommodate learners of all abilities, ensuring a supportive and engaging environment that fosters academic growth. My teaching style involves exam-specific learning, to best prepare your child for what to expect on the big day. I will only use content that is included in their exam specification, which I use systematically for planning lessons and work for students. This way, when exam time comes, your child will have been exposed to nothing more, and nothing less than exactly what will appear on their examination papers.

I am currently a third year student at the University of Oxford working towards my BA in Philosophy and German. My studies cover diverse subjects and have required me to develop varied approaches to my learning. Because of this I am a highly adaptable tutor and happy to explore lots of learning styles to figure out how to teach most effectively. My personal academic strengths are literary analysis (poetry, English and German literature), German language (particularly grammar and translation) and essay writing as well a strong proficiency in maths. In my first year University examinations I received a 1st in my German exams and a high 2.1 for my philosophy exams. I performed highly at A-Level receiving 2 A*s and an A and at GCSE receiving 4 9s and 4 8s including maths and further maths. Coming from a state school to study at Oxford I experienced having to work particularly hard to catch up with my peers. This experience not only made me keen to help build-up academic confidence but also equipped me with firsthand strategies for overcoming gaps in knowledge and skills. As a tutor, I can draw on my own journey to identify specific areas where students struggle. This allows me offer tailored guidance, and implement effective study techniques that worked for me, particularly breaking down big gaps in knowledge into more manageable stepping stones. This enables me to foster a supportive environment where students feel empowered to succeed.

Hi, I'm Darcy! I read History at the University of Edinburgh and am currently on my 3rd year, studying abroad. I have worked with children for many years, starting as a swimming teacher 5 years ago and since then have relished each opportunity to help each and every child reach their potential. I am passionate about education and think it is vital to understand what a student and their parents wish to gain from tutoring. I like to tailor each session to a pupil's needs by understanding their strengths and weaknesses as well as developing learning practices that are applicable in all aspects of academic life.
