I have taught A-Level Politics and History for over 20 years. In that time, I have built up a large amount of experience across a wide range of subjects, teaching various topics and working with different exam boards. As a result, I have learnt to adapt and deliver new content quickly. In Politics, I have a specialist knowledge of the Edexcel specification this naturally includes British Politics (as all national specifications do). In my career, I have always focused upon the international route as the third paper. I also follow US Politics, so would have little difficulty in supporting you with this route. In History, I have followed both the Edexcel and the AQA specifications. Over the years I have taught a wide variety of topics. These include Weimar and Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, the Soviet Union and the Cold War, Franco and the Spanish Civil War, Israel and the Middle East, the First and Second World War, the Crimean War, the French Revolution and Napoleon, Louis XIV (France), 19th Century America, the Anglo-Saxons and the Norman Invasion, the Crusades and Political and Social Change in Britain during the 20th Century (my specialism). So, over the years I have learnt to turn my hand to anything! In the past I have provided maternity cover on the GCSE programme. As a result, I can easily adapt my skills to supporting History at GCSE. For university students, I can support you with your writing and other assessments. In the past, I have supported new undergraduates who have struggled to make the transition from school to university. In terms of sessions, I want you to take the lead. In the first session we can discuss your needs, and I can tailor the content of the following sessions accordingly. As your requirements change, we can adapt the teaching.
