Essay Writing for Undergraduate History/Archaeology Students

From 34 £ /h

I recently graduated from a Russell Group university where I studied Archaeology. I aim to help undergraduate students in Archaeology, or similar fields, improve their essay writing abilities.

Essay writing skills are key no matter what year of university you are in, and are something that can always be improved upon. We can focus on the basics of structure and referencing, or on more specific aspects needed to get the higher grades- the classes can be tailored to your needs.

We can go through mock essay questions, as well as work you have already submitted, and had returned, in order to be able to see what areas you have to work on most, and- more importantly, what aspects of essay writing you are getting right!

Extra information

Need some way of taking notes.

It would be helpful to know what referencing system your specific university uses, and to have a copy of the mark scheme available.

Learn the methodology in dissertation and document analysis from middle school as well as high school.
This is what is present in History Geography and in the HGGSP specialty, and I offer courses aimed, in addition to helping the learning of courses in these subjects, to put it into practice in an exercise with a built methodology. It is this methodology that I teach, in order to provide the student with independence.
I can also provide homework help in these classes, as well as re-explain and repeat poorly understood course points.
As for speaking in public, it is necessary for the oral exams at the end of high school. I have been part of a debate group for 3 years and have acquired a certain mastery there.
I am a student in high school, in the final year and I already have experience in helping with homework in my high school. I also chose the HGGSP specialty (geopolitics and political science) in second and I obtained my baccalaureate in this subject.

The authenticity of an exchange. In a society increasingly rooted in a competitive approach, where automated exchanges with Artificial Intelligence cannot replace the need for human interaction, this is precisely what we lack.
As a lawyer by training and an independent legal consultant, creating the Right is a breath of fresh air. This tutoring service is aimed directly at high school students who need to overcome any difficulties in studying the following subjects: French, Mathematics, Science, Philosophy, History, and Languages (English and Spanish).

Moreover, being currently preparing for the entrance exam to the National School of Magistrates and passionate about the beauty of multidisciplinary learning, the school program is being reviewed extremely regularly.

🎓 It is now necessary to elaborate somewhat on my experience:
4 years already dedicated to private lessons (which is significant) via the organization Complétude as well as independently (Law, French, Mathematics, Sciences, History and Languages), and this at all levels (primary, middle school, high school, university students and adults).

Regarding my teaching experience in legal subjects, I invite you to consult my other course offering dedicated to this subject and also published on Apprentus.

👋 What about my teaching approach, you might ask?
Beyond this desire for authenticity, it seems particularly crucial to dismantle the prejudices that poison the perception of students experiencing difficulties. To ensure the smooth running of this course and to help high school students feel as comfortable as possible, it is important to remember that the foundation of all conversation and understanding remains listening. Listening to one's equal, regardless of age.

💬 Wouldn't you be interested?
Please feel free to contact me by message and I remain available to discuss the frequency of classes and their modalities (in-person in Tours, videoconference and possibility of travel if necessary).

In the meantime, ladies and gentlemen of the high school system, it would be a real pleasure for me to support you as best I can on your path to success because, as its name suggests: you all have the Right to Knowledge! 😉

Learn History, Political Science, and Social Sciences with classes designed for students and the general public interested in expanding their knowledge in these fields. These classes are not based on a specific subject, such as Contemporary European History or Political History of the Americas, but rather adapt to the needs of each student and, in this latter sense, are also tailored to their learning level.

Hello, my name is Briani! I'm originally from New York but currently living in Paris, where I'm pursuing my Masters at Sciences Po. I've mentored a dozen students through the U.S. college admissions process, helping them gain admission to schools like MIT, UPenn, Rice, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, and the University of Chicago, to name a few. I also worked in the undergraduate admissions office at Columbia for a year as an undergraduate student.

I'm extremely passionate about essay writing and wanting my students to feel like their personal statement is the most authentic story they tell. I provide a thoughtful, personalized, and encouraging approach, challenging students to bring their very best. We will brainstorm ideas for your personal statement, work on drafts with specific, line-by-line feedback where applicable, and also address supplementary essays.

Whether we are starting from scratch or you'd like feedback or advice on how to navigate the college admissions process, I'll take my time and care to make sure all the information I have is clear, accessible, and helpful for you.

This course provides support with academic writing and presenting. It could take two different formats.

Option 1: general guidance in academic writing and presenting. This could be helpful if you have recently entered or are about to enter a higher education degree. In this case, I would provide the material, such as example essays/presentations that we can work with. In addition, I would provide you with resources that would support you throughout your academic journey.

Option 2: editorial support for your current academic work. This option could be helpful if you need support with your existing academic work. In this case, you, as a student, would provide the material, such as an in-progress research paper or presentation.

In both cases, depending on your needs or interests, the course would focus on covering the key aspects of academic writing and presenting. I consider these aspects to include rhetorical patterns or strategies, syntax, formatting, and style. In this way, my support and advice are limited to effective communication of your work and do not concern its content.

Hello! First, I'll assess the student's strengths and weaknesses so I can tailor the lessons to best support their learning. Then, I'll explain the lesson to the student, followed by practice exercises, and finally, I'll assign some homework for the next session.

First, there are many ways to teach and learn, each with its own methods. Mine are accessible, fun, and guarantee consistent understanding, allowing for perfect application of knowledge. The lessons take place in three stages:
- 📝News, student's feelings on the topic (misunderstandings to be reviewed if necessary), review of prior knowledge, short quiz, objective of the day. - 📚Today's lesson with guided application.
- 🗒️ personalized assessment and homework (no heavy workload for the student but only regular engagement).

Do you struggle to memorize dates, people, and events? Do you feel like history is just an endless accumulation of facts? I'll help you study it in a different way: by understanding the processes, connecting events, and grasping the causes and consequences of what happened.

I offer private History lessons for secondary school, high school and university students, fully adapted to the level, subject and needs of each student.

My goal is not simply for you to memorize content to pass an exam, but for you to understand History as a process, identify the relationships between different events, and develop a critical and well-founded view of the past and the present world.

How can I help you?
History for ESO and Bachillerato.
History of Spain.
History of the Contemporary World.
History of Art and related Humanities content.
Support in university subjects of History and Humanities.
Exam preparation and subject recovery.
Understanding and organizing extensive topics.
Analysis of causes, consequences, and relationships between historical events.
Commentary and analysis of historical sources and documents.
Preparation of text commentaries and academic papers.
Development of study techniques to better understand and retain the content.

I hold a degree in Humanities and have extensive university training in various fields within the Humanities. Furthermore, I have a teaching qualification and teaching experience, which allows me not only to master the subject matter but also to adapt my teaching methods to each student.

My multidisciplinary background allows me to approach history by connecting it with philosophy, culture, religion, art, and major social and political processes. This helps events move beyond isolated facts and gain meaning within a broader context.

History and geography is an essential subject in schools and high schools, and at university, one must read history and understand famous events in the history of all worlds and countries, also using two languages: French and English.

Hello! I’m a law tutor who specialises in Edexcel International A-Level Law — and my goal is to help you truly understand the subject, not just pass the exam. To do that, I bring more than a textbook: I’m also a practicing lawyer with experience in courts, consulting, and private client work. During my studies, I have also taken part in international law competitions, academic conferences, and published legal articles. I often draw on real cases and examples from my own legal practice, so abstract rules become concrete and memorable. At the same time, I’m completing my law degree at a leading Russian university, which keeps me closely connected to modern academic standards and exam expectations.

What I bring to our lessons is the ability to show how legal rules work in real life. I’ve worked in courts and advised businesses, and I use those experiences to make Edexcel topics like negligence, contract formation, or human rights feel tangible rather than abstract.

A big advantage of my background is that I’m equally comfortable in both the Romano-Germanic (continental) legal tradition — including its public law and private law dimensions — and the common law system. I know from experience how confusing it can be to switch between these two ways of thinking, and I help students build bridges between them. For Edexcel IAL, which is rooted in English common law but studied by students from all over the world, this dual perspective is incredibly valuable. I can explain not just what the law is, but why it developed that way and how it compares to other legal families.

How I Teach
My lessons are structured around the Edexcel specification, but I adapt them to each student’s level and goals. We work on:
• Solving problem questions using clear legal reasoning (IRAC and beyond);
• Writing high-scoring essays that actually answer the question;
• Evaluation skills — the difference between a B and an A*;
• Exam technique and time management under pressure.

I don’t believe in endless memorization. I want you to understand the logic of the law, so you can apply it to any scenario the exam throws at you.
