Richard

I am a former Head of Sixth Form and Head of Humanities and has been at the forefront of developing teaching and learning strategies across a wide array of subjects. Specialising in History and Politics, I have also delivered success in Economics, Business Studies and Geography at both A-Level and GCSE, along with Key Stage 3 teaching of all these and RE.

Tutoring Experience

Offering both 1:1, groups or online tutoring, Richard has over 17 years experience in curriculum development, assessment and exam preparation, delivering results in the top 10% of the country, with History students achieving over a grade above their targets.

A former Head of Sixth Form, I am well versed in the UCAS application process, from choosing the right course, to styling the perfect Personal Statement and preparation for the most rigorous of University interviews. I have successfully coached students into Oxbridge, Russell Group, US and European Universities.

The recent Coronavirus pandemic has provided an opportunity to develop a more rigorous approach to online learning, using programmes such as Seneca Learning, Schoology and Moodle, using platforms such as Zoom, Loom and MS Teams.

Tutoring Approach

Flexible approach dependent upon your learning needs and is tailored around your learning style. I believe that every student is capable of academic success and whilst every student is different, the primary focus is unlocking your potential.
