Experience History & Politics teacher who loves to impart the past histories of humankind, and the ever changing relationships between different branches of political power in the US and the UK. Outside of lessons I'm a father of two, a keen birdwatcher and I also regularly go to see Ipswich Town Football Club.
I have taught across the state and selective sector in East Anglia for the past two decades. I have taught 11 to 18 years olds in High Schools and Sixth Form Centres. I have taught History and Politics regularly through this time at both GCSE and A Level for both AQA and Edexcel boards. My specialisms include 20th Century Russia and America, the UK since 1945, the History of Medicine, the settling of the American Plains, early modern English economic and social history, including the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. In Politics I have taught the AQA and Edexcel A Level specification, which both focus on UK and USA politics.
I always strive to make History and Politics interesting to the study, but without ever losing sight of what the exam board is asking in every question that we model. Past papers and exam reports are vital in this respect and I always encourage the student both in Politics but also History to gather current up-to-date examples and case studies to their written responses.
My specialisms ranged from agrarian early modern English History right though to 20th century International Conflicts, the Rise of Communism and Fascism in Europe, and Boom and Bust America. I have also regularly taught Modern British History, post-war through to Blair & Brown. I have also been examiner in recent years for the Medicine Through Time GCSE course (Edexcel).
In Politics I have focused on the checks and balances in American Politics and the relationship between executive and legislative branches both in UK and US politics.
The Exam Boards that I have worked with in the past have largely been AQA and Edexcel. I am fully conversant with the specifications of both these boards. In addition, I have had some experience with OCR History.
Jonathan has been an excellent tutor for my son who is studying his second year of A'level politics. He has been working with my son for several months, explains concepts really well and teaches through discussion and exam practice. We hope to continue until he sits exams in the summer.
