Qualified teacher and former Head of History with over 20 years of teaching experience across both state and independent schools. Experienced GCSE/IGCSE tutor and examiner since 2007, specialising in History, English, Humanities, and exam preparation.

I provide calm, supportive, and personalised lessons tailored to each student’s needs, helping them build confidence, strengthen subject knowledge, and improve exam technique.

I also have extensive experience supporting students with SEND, dyslexia, SEMH, and social communication needs, and I pride myself on creating positive relationships that help students feel comfortable and motivated to succeed.

My approach to tutoring is focused not only on improving subject knowledge and exam performance, but also on helping students become more confident and independent learners.

Alongside academic support, I help students develop effective study habits and executive functioning skills, including organisation, revision strategies, planning, time management, and breaking tasks into manageable steps.

As an experienced examiner, I tailor exam preparation carefully to mark schemes and examiner expectations, helping students understand exactly how to structure and develop answers in order to maximise marks and reach their full potential.

I tailor lessons to each student’s individual learning style, creating a calm and supportive environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, build confidence, and develop the skills needed for long-term academic success.
