I am an experienced KS3, GCSE and A-level teacher and sixth form tutor. I have extensive experience teaching GCSE and A-level history, specialising in early modern Britain and modern Europe. I am also an experienced teacher of A-level law and A-level religious studies, alongside other humanities subjects at KS3. As a sixth form tutor, I have supported hundreds of students through the UCAS process of university applications. I have provided one-to-one support for students applying to arts and humanities courses at Oxford and Cambridge, including support with personal statements, wider reading support and preparation for interviews. I have also supported students for university entrance exams including the TSA, HAT and HAA.
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.
Thank you Andrew for this first initial session. Izzy feels comfortable with you and I am sure your input going forward will be invaluable.
Excellent
Andrew has helped my daughter in the run up to her history iGCSE. She lost some confidence after studying hard for mocks but not getting the grades expected. She has gained much clarity in connecting all her topics and most importantly regained some confidence. The platform works well. She has enjoined the lessons. Whatever result she gets in the end Andrew’s efforts and the confidence boost has been worth it. Thank you
Excellent, very happy working with Andrew.
He has helped me on a long term basis and the work we are doing now in preperation for finals is proving incredibly effective.
Very accomodating and knowledgable on the subject, great tutor and teacher. He gave me a week's worth of lessons in one hour.
