About Me
After completing an MA in History at Birkbeck College, and with a huge passion for my subject, I moved into teaching 9 years ago, working as a Head of Department for the past 5 years. I love planning lessons and devising new strategies to help students learn and to pass on my enthusiasm for History. As a tutor, I always try to make lessons fun and engaging and place a lot of emphasis on building students' confidence in order to help them become better independent learners.
Outside of teaching, I maintain a keen interest in my subject, reading around social and cultural history in particular. Although no cordon bleu, I'm a bit of an amateur chef and also a self-confessed music nerd with a proud collection of vinyl records – everything from ambient to Zamrock!
Tutor Experience
2016-2021: Head of Humanities and Head of History - Greig City Academy
2013-2016: History, Politics and RE Teacher - Ashcroft Technology Academy (IB school)
In this time I have been an examiner for Edexcel and have built up a detailed knowledge of exam board specifications and what examiners are looking for when they mark work. This helps me to support students with their exam technique.
I also have experience of training other teachers in different teaching and learning strategies, for example revision skills. I understand that students revise in different ways and am able to help them feel more confident in studying independently and preparing for exams.
I have extensive experience of supervising students through their A Level and IB Coursework and helping them to craft well-argued and informed essays that achieve the highest marks.

Client Reviews
His classes were extremely helpful for me: I soon saw a lot of progress, and skills develop for my IB higher level history. I would absolutely recommend him, he was very good at making classes engaging and personalising his teaching style towards the student.
