Tutorial support in History and Government @ Politics

Tutorial Services

Isn't it comforting to feel that during these times of uncertainty felt by many students regarding their future examination success, that there are some professional people who are putting themselves forward to help. Whether your son or daughter is facing Common Entrance (CE), with the prospect of a stern and demanding task ahead of them in order to get into their preferred school, or if you are about to face the most important exams of your lives so far, whether they are at GCSE or A-Level. Unfortunately I cannot offer everything, but what I can offer is professional and expert help in History and Politics & Government, with the additional Religious Studies at CE.
What I bring to this service is over 30 years of teaching experience, including many years as a Head of Department, plus qualifications in counselling and professional coaching in education and guidance. So therefore my approach was and is not simply based on academic achievement in itself, important though that is, but also a desire to see students achieve their best as a result of attaining high standards of mental preparation. This often can be the key to academic achievement and especially for those whose path to success is a struggle.
I have a number of recent clients who have given me some positive reports:
'John is being very helpful and supportive to my daughter in her AS year. He has an infectious enthusiasm and a genuine love for history. We would recommend him as a tutor.' (outcome: A grade)
John has been very helpful and patient while tutoring our son for A-Level.' (outcome: B grade)
'Tom has found John very supportive and knowledgeable. He has provided him with focused support and motivation.' (outcome: C grade)
'Harry did well especially in History thanks to you - 98/100 for Unit 1 and 100/100 for Unit 2. Will be in touch for more at A2!'
'John is very reliable and personable. He has created a very good rapport with my son who is enjoying working with him. (outcome: C grade)
'Hi John. Molly here. Thank you for all the hard work you put into tutoring me this year; it paid off as overall I got an A* (GCSE). I was so happy and shocked. I can't tell you how much you have helped me with my confidence in history and you have been invaluable coming up to the examination period.'
'Hi John. It's Charlie. Thank you so much for the tutoring in G&P. I got a B which I'm happy with. I'm sure I wouldn't have done as well if it hadn't been for you.'
I could go on, but modesty and all that! But I hope that gives you a flavour of what can be achieved. Also I charge a reasonable £30 an hour, plus travel costs.
