History and English tutoring at GCSE and A-level

I am currently completing my History degree at the University of St Andrews where I am on track to receive a First. I sat in 2019 AQA History and English Literature A-level. I have tutored for more than 3 years both in person and online. My students have sat AQA and OCR History and English Literature GCSE and I have also tutored AQA and OCR A-level History and English Literature. I worked as a teacher on my gap year at a school in Moscow teaching English, history, Literature and Chinese and have experience teaching children from ages 6 to 18. My teaching involves a combination of detailed knowledge-based discussion and immersion to ensure the student understands their material very well and clinical practice with past papers, essay-writing techniques and exam technique to ensure they maximise their marks. My lessons are usually structured around first a discussion of the topic where I will get students to brainstorm their knowledge/understanding and then I will explore their understanding with them look at essay questions or exam past papers. Together we will plan essay answers and then draft some answers. Then finally I will discuss further exam tips if relevant and necessary.
