Jessica

Hello! I’m Jess, a History head of department based in Coventry. I have 7 years of classroom experience as well as working as a GCSE Edexcel examiner for 4 years. I studied History at Loughborough University and went on to gain a PGCE with QTS through a school centered teaching programme. I have gone on to undertake my NPQ in Leading Teaching. I am a mum of two boys and also have a love for playing netball and (sometimes) enjoy watching my football team, Coventry City.

Tutoring Experience

I have worked within a mainstream secondary school for 7 years and currently hold the position of History Subject leader. I have taught both GCSE and A level Edexcel History courses (particularly Medicine Through Time, Weimar and Nazi Germany, Superpower Relations, American West and Early Elizabethan England at GCSE and Britain Transformed at A level).

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is very much pupil centered. This means all lessons are catered to the areas of improvement of each pupil, meanwhile celebrating their strengths. I pride myself on the positive relationships I create between myself and my students which helps to not only reach the most positive outcome but makes learning an enjoyable process too!
