Humanities Tutor | GCSE & A-Level History, Geography, Religious Studies & ClassicsTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Humanities Tutor | GCSE & A-Level History, Geography, Religious Studies & ClassicsTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Whether you are preparing for GCSE History, GCSE Geography, GCSE Religious Studies, A-Level History, A-Level Geography, or simply looking to improve your academic skills and confidence in the humanities, lessons will be tailored to your individual needs and learning style. I strongly believe that students achieve the best results when they are motivated, curious, and actively engaged in the learning process. My aim is not only to help students succeed academically, but also to develop critical thinking, confidence, analytical skills, and a genuine interest in the subject. Subjects offered include: • History • Geography • Religious Studies • Classical Civilisation • Essay Writing and Academic Skills • Revision Strategies and Exam Technique • Source Analysis and Interpretation • Coursework and Independent Research Support As a Humanities teacher, PhD researcher at Cardiff University, and graduate of University College London (UCL), I bring both academic expertise and practical teaching experience to every lesson. My research and teaching have taken me across a wide range of historical, archaeological, geographical, and cultural topics, allowing me to make lessons engaging, relevant, and accessible. Throughout my career I have taught Humanities in schools, academies, and private tuition settings, helping students improve grades, develop confidence, and build strong independent learning habits. Lessons are suitable for GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, university foundation students, and adult learners who wish to deepen their knowledge of the humanities. Lessons are available online or in person and are suitable for motivated students aged 10 and above.

SMASH GCSE English Languahe & Literature, History or Religious StudiesTranslate this text using Google Translate.

I have been tutoring since September and have thoroughly enjoyed helping my KS2 students in working on their English skills in preparation for both SATS and 11+. Following achieving my GCSE results, I now feel more prepared to move onto a larger range of subjects. I am passionate about helping students to do the best that they can and to reach their potential. It is hugely rewarding to see progress being made. I achieved 10 GCSE grades, with a grade 9 in English Literature, Language, History and Religious Studies, a grade 8 in Geography and an average grade of 7.5 across the board. All my grades were the equivalent of A* to B, the majority being A* and A equivalent. I believe that the best way to teach is through gathering and creating a large range of resources to ensure that all necessary content is being covered and that content is being accessed through a variety of mediums that will allow for it to be learnt and understood quickly. Furthermore, at this level, working with examination questions is essential. It is vital that students familiarise themselves with mark schemes and I will make sure to teach students how questions are marked, ensuring that the right structures are used too. Communication with parents is also key and I would deliver this through weekly or bi-weekly bulletins for groups and parent emails and phone calls too. Finally, I would focus on revision methods and make sure that you have access to a range of strategies that will make your learning experience more enjoyable, engaging and successful. Message me for a discussion and so I can confirm availability and offer more realistic, updated time slots.

We are very happy with the French lessons Awni gives to our 14-year-old daughter. He is very flexible and adapts the lessons perfectly to her needs and level! He places special focus on pronunciation, vocabulary, listening skills, and conversation, while introducing interesting topics that make the lessons engaging and enjoyable. He is also willing to adjust the lessons to the homework and topics covered at school, which has been extremely helpful for her progress and confidence in French. Our daughter genuinely enjoys the lessons because Awni is motivating, clear, patient, and kind. He creates a positive atmosphere that makes learning fun and effective at the same time!! We highly recommend him as a French teacher!

My 3 children studied with Daniela for the whole year, and it was a great pleasure! Although my kids' english was not very much advanced and that presented issues while studying science, Daniela was able to give necessary explanations, accommodate to their level and uplift knowledge. From the beginning of the year when each science topic was a struggle, we are ending the year with solid understanding of the school program and ability to participate in the class work. Daniela is very punctual and dedicated to her students, and I surely recommend her

Justin is a true professional and is really gifted at helping job seekers in their career path. He assisted me a lot with career advice, job application adaptation and proofreading. He is really good at communication, reading between the lines, and highlighting the core idea. Our lessons or as I would rather call it a master class, were absolutely great and easy going. Thank you very much, Justin, for your amazing approach, custom-made professional and easy attitude, and a super international mindset. I would very much recommend it!
