Tutor Profile

Will

History & Politics Specialist | GCSE & A-Level | 15 Years Exp.

I am a highly experienced History and Politics tutor with 15 years of teaching experience across the UK and internationally. Having taught for 11 years in inner-city London secondary schools and 4 years in South Korean high schools, I have worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds, abilities and aspirations. For the past seven years, I have served as Head of History and Politics, leading successful departments, developing outstanding curricula and helping students consistently achieve excellent examination results.

Teaching Experience

I specialise in GCSE History and A Level History and Politics, supporting students across the major examination boards. Whether you’re aiming to move from a Grade 5 to a Grade 7, secure an A, or push for an A*, I provide carefully tailored tuition that develops subject knowledge, analytical thinking and the exam skills needed to maximise marks.

Tutoring Approach

My lessons are structured, engaging and completely centred around the individual student. I begin by identifying gaps in knowledge, misconceptions and weaknesses in exam technique before creating a personalised programme that targets the areas which will make the greatest difference. Alongside mastering course content, I place a strong emphasis on essay writing, source analysis, argument construction, revision strategies and the examination techniques that distinguish good answers from outstanding ones.

Will was a fantastic tutor for my son. He was exceptionally diligent and attentive to his needs - especially as he had dyslexia and made him feel at ease. He went from a 6 predicted in his exams to an 8 - Thank you, Will!
