My Experience
I am, above all, a history of art specialist and teach no other subjects. All of my tutoring, teaching and writing is geared around this focus. Exam technique, in particular, has become one of my most sought after services and is now an established specialisation.
The three most recent academic years (ending June 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively) have been my busiest to date. New and existing clients comprise a rounded and intensive mix of AS/A level, BA and MA students. I work predominantly with the AQA syllabus but am also experienced with the Cambridge Pre-U syllabus. Typical assignments include intensive revision bursts, remote teaching on Skype, long term ongoing assistance, independent study supervision and guidance, personal statement preparation, interview practice and much more. At the busiest time of year (February - June) I generally work with a dozen or so students with my availability for this period spoken for by early March.
