Tutoring Approach

Humanities examinations follow a very basic structure that holds all the way through from GCSE to Undergraduate. This is very good news. With a tight and early focus on essay technique and clarity of argument, very rapid improvements can be made in short time. This focus on style is particularly good for those taking time-based exams, and can have positive effects on other exams not necessarily covered within the confines of our lessons.
My online Zoom lessons are student-focussed, tailored to unlock potential in A-Level Latin, English, Business, or History (and university-level History/Business). I start with an informal conversation to assess goals, then craft plans emphasizing essay technique—a proven humanities shortcut to rapid grade improvements, ideal for timed exams. High-achievers dive into dynamic case studies (e.g., Business via real-world firms, Latin as logical puzzles), while struggling students build confidence with clear, practical examples. My analytics background tracks progress, ensuring results. Creative analogies and day-to-day scenarios make complex topics accessible, sparking a love for learning. Parents have told me they value this flexible approach. Whether targeting A* grades, university prep, or helping your child “get over the line!”, I align today’s lessons with future success.
