Nils - Tosh- History - Undergraduate
22nd March 2025
Nils wound up an intensive week of tutorials by going over approaches to writing essays in the upcoming exam and a review of the material covered over the past week or so. The week's tutorials have deepened my son's understanding of the historical content he needs to know, as well as prepare him for how to perform at a higher level in an exam setting.

Nils - Tosh- History - Undergraduate
15th March 2025
Another great tutorial. Nils has made a plan to cover the main themes of the course, focusing in on points and concepts that the examiner will be looking for in the exam. He is helping build a path through to a working understanding of a large amount of material.
Robert James - Calum- History - Undergraduate
14th March 2025
Very detailed help, I could tell he took his time over it.
Nils - Tosh- History - Undergraduate
14th March 2025
Nils has deep understanding of history, in this case, the history of the middle ages. He is able to distill periods of history down to themes, making it easier for the student to organize his or her understanding of the material. His tutoring is at all times hands on and goal oriented: to prepare the student for exams and how to write essays. Through a Socratic method of questioning and answering he works with the student to enhance understanding of the material and build confidence in his / her ability to rise to the challenge.

Louisa - Helen- History - A Level
17th February 2025
Louisa is an excellent A-Level History tutor. My son has had several sessions with her and he found them incredibly informative. She's really helped him to understand structure and exam technique, and it has been evident in his grades which have gone from a C to a solid A, in a very short space of time. I would highly recommend!
