About:

A certified teacher of History, I have two decades of classroom experience across the secondary age range successfully teaching IB, A Level, GCSE and iGCSE History, Economics and TOK, both within my native UK and internationally. I bring a wealth of experience as an IB Examiner and Internal Assesmment moderator into my tuition, as well as Extended Essay supervisor. I find that being able to transmit a deep knowledge of the IBDP framework and fostering a clear and structured learning environment, gives my IB students the security and firm foundations in analysis and critical thinking to succeed in these independent tasks.

Teaching experience and approach:

Following my Bachelor of Economics and Social Studies, I went on to achieve a Postgraduate Certificate of Education in Secondary History. Over my long teaching career, I have developed a tutoring style based on open dialogue and relevance to create flexible individualised learning programmes using a range of learning techniques to suit the tutee. I believe regular constructive feedback from and to the tutee is essential to create a comfortable, honest and realistic learning environment.

I am skilled at keeping students motivated and focused, planning structured work in manageable quantities. I also provide opportunities to reflect on previous work before moving on. I make regular use of checklists for IB essays for Paper 2 and 3 and also provided guidance booklets that have helped students write relevant and concise essays meeting the necessary criteria set out by the IB.
