I am an exam-focused Modern Studies, History and Politics tutor. I currently offer online tuition.
The Scottish Higher exams in these subjects are skills based, so I aim to prepare students to allow them to fulfil their potential in the exams.
My original degree was in Economics & Politics, and since then I have continued my life long love of Social Sciences.
I have recently provided face to face and online tutoring for the Scottish Higher exams in Modern Studies, History and Politics.
So far, all the students I have tutored have improved on their mock exam grades and 95% have achieved A grades at Higher in History and Modern Studies.
Early in my career, I trained and worked for 3 years as a Teacher of English as a Foreign language, both abroad and in the UK.
I believe exam technique is vital in the subjects I tutor and can make a real difference to grades achieved. Consequently I ensure that my students are completely familiar with what is required in the exam and my focus is on helping them to reproduce their knowledge under exam conditions in order to gain the most marks.
I also specialise in preparing Higher students for the Course Work Assignment, which is now a part of the Higher History and Modern Studies exams (not in 2022, due to the pandemic).
