Cambridge Graduate & Former KCL Teaching Fellow | Expert Politics & Political Science Tuition | A Level & Degree

Advert description

A former Teaching Fellow at King’s College London, I offer specialist tuition in Politics and Political Science at A Level and degree level, alongside degree-level International Relations and Middle Eastern Studies. I hold degrees from the universities of London, Jerusalem and Cambridge, including an MPhil in International Relations from Cambridge and a PhD specialising in Israeli foreign policy. I am the author of Israel and the Cold War: Diplomacy, Strategy and the Policy of the Periphery at the United Nations (I.B. Tauris, 2013), have reviewed for the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), and have written for academic journals and newspapers. My academic distinctions include the first Mikardo Scholarship awarded by the British Foreign Office, a Golda Meir Fellowship at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a Donner Prize in Atlantic Studies at Cambridge for an essay on the role of the United States in the Falklands War. My students have gained places at institutions including Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, UCL, King’s College London, Birmingham, York, Leeds, Hull, Sheffield, Nottingham and Sussex. For parents’ peace of mind, I hold an enhanced DBS check and subscribe to the annual update service. Tutoring Experience As a Teaching Fellow at King’s College London, I taught MA courses on the Arab–Israeli Conflict, US and British Foreign Policy, War and Peace in the Middle East, and Inter-Faith Relations. A professional private tutor and coach since 2015, I support students with Politics at A Level and with Politics, Political Science, International Relations and related subjects at university level. I also provide dissertation and essay consultation, examination preparation and intensive tuition during school and university holidays. Tutoring Approach My sessions are interactive, academically rigorous and tailored to the individual student. I focus on developing secure subject knowledge alongside the analytical and evaluative skills required for high-level political analysis. For A Level students, I use past papers and questions from relevant examination boards, including Edexcel and AQA, to develop examination technique, argument, evaluation and essay structure. For university students, I provide support with political concepts and theories, critical analysis, essay and dissertation structure.

Dr Howard was outstanding in his quick understanding of the requirements of my daughters needs. He tutored her for 8 weeks prior to her A levels and gave her confidence, structure and discipline to enable her to reach her goal of an A. She was struggling with structure and exam technique, especially in the American paper and achieved 28 out of 30! We are truly grateful to Howard for his care and guidance throughout the very stressful process. We highly recommend anyone who needs help with politics to reach out to Howard.

Dr Howard is an excellent tutor who taught me on a MA course. He delivers well planned and thought out tuition that engages the student as well as challenging them to raise ideas and debate arguments in detail. Dr Howard has a warm and friendly manner with excellent interpersonal and communication skills and works very hard to put his students at ease. He gives students the tools and confidence to excel at their studies and I would highly recommend Dr Howard to prospective students.

Our son initially came to Howard with a prediction of a “C” in A-level politics but needed a higher grade. Howard initially reassured him - “ do not worry!” he remarked “all my students get an “A” or an “A*”. Improvement was noticeable within a few weeks. Howard was very engaging, and caring. He was always on the end of the phone and made his politics A level interesting and fun. Results day happened last week and he achieved an “A” ( one mark off an A* !) Howard has made a real impression on our son, to the point where our son would often comment that he would look him up if he was in the area! I asked our son what he would like us to say on this review: he is a legend! Thank you for everything. One thing I would like to add is that Howard never clock watches, happy to keep going past the hour, because he cares and wants to make sure that the job gets done. There are teachers out there but we all remember the special ones that made a difference to our lives. Thank you Howard..
