James

I am an Oxford History graduate and qualified as a solicitor. I have worked for over a decade in the law, legal recruitment and in politics.
I have enjoyed tutoring at GCSE, Al Level and undergraduate levels. I have a particular interest in twentieth century history, Tudors and Stuarts, The United States from the Revolutionary War onwards, The French revolution and decolonisation in Africa
In Politics I have a particular interest in American politics, and a hands-on experience of the British politics system which has been informed from my experience working at a Westminster-based public policy thinktank and volunteering in campaigns.

Tutoring Experience

• Tutoring secondary school students in both history and politics
• Tutoring University students to help prepare them for finals
• In my previous career, I worked for a large recruitment company where I trained
and developed both school leavers and graduates.

Tutoring Approach

I love working with young people and I prefer the more intense and tailored approach which can be taken with individual students or small groups of students.
My approach is tailored to the individual student's needs. Whether the student is seeking support for short term projects or throughout the academic year I am able to quickly build a good working relationship which facilitates tutoring and enables the student to derive the best results from our sessions.

I believe in building a good, solid basis of knowledge and understanding on which the student can develop their own thoughts and theories enabling a full, in-depth understanding of the subject.
