Online History Tutor

Hi, I’m Johnette and I have over ten years teaching experience in bilingual, state and international schools (majority of my students are from China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, India, Middle East and Europe) . I've taught KS2 - A levels History, Geography and English as a Foreign Language in classroom and online settings. I used to work in a secondary school in England and have a full DBS. I’m also a CIE History Assessment Specialist/ Assistant Examiner.

I'm offering tailored lessons to help you or your child learn History and/or Geography on all specifications (eg. CIE, IB, Edexcel Intl, AP) as I have a thorough knowledge of the requirements for all of these. I can help you learn the content, give exam techniques or if you just want someone to chat with/ practice your oral English with! I'm available to mark exam papers for IGCSE- A levels History and Geography.

I have a proven track record including helping my students achieve the highest marks for Cambridge International Examinations IGCSE History in the whole of China (in June 2010 and June 2016 examinations).

I enjoy teaching students of different ability levels, cultures and backgrounds and try to make lessons interesting for all my students. I also like to help students achieve their full academic potential and get them inspired about the world.

When I'm not teaching, I'm usually with my family (got two girls, 9 and 2 years old), going on local walks, exploring the moors, crafting or just chilling in front of the tv.
