Online History Tutor Andrew

I taught in a large comprehensive school and sixth form college in the UK for ten years. As well as classroom teaching, I have served as Head of History, Head of Humanities and as a senior leader.

I have now been tutoring online full-time for a year.

2024 testimonial: My daughter found her history iGCSE challenging. After lots of hard work her Easter mock result was a 4 and she was ready to give up. Her loss of confidence in her approach was also threatening all her other GCSE results.
Andrew’s calm and methodical tuition has helped rebuild her confidence overall and she has achieved an 8 in her history which is amazing as well as excellent all round results. Thank you Andrew!

My academic specialism is in early modern Britain (Tudors and Stuarts) and the history of the United States.
The main focus of my teaching has been in history, law and religious studies. I have taught A-level history for two different AQA specifications, teaching units of study on Stuart Britain, Tudor England, interwar Germany and Russia under the Tsars and Communists. I have also supervised independent enquiries for A-level history on a range of subjects and tutored students studying a wide range of other topics. I have tutored students for OCR, Edexcel, AQA, Cambridge International and Edexcel International A-levels, with other topics including the French Revolution, China, Italy, the Cold War and modern Britain. I have taught the history of international relations to GCSE level. I have also examined for a range of exam boards.
Alongside history teaching, I have taught the full specification for A-level law, including the legal system, criminal law, tort law and contract law. I have taught Christianity and the philosophy of religion for A-level religious studies.
As a sixth form tutor, I have coordinated student applications to Oxford and Cambridge, including leading residential visits to open days, supervising students writing personal statements, preparing students for interviews, conducting mock interviews and preparing students for admissions assessments.
