My Reviews

‘Kit really helped me with my undergraduate history dissertation. From feeling totally lost after only five sessions I had a really interesting topic and a plan of how to research and write it. Kit keeps on checking in to see how its going and I know I can always ask for more help.’ – Joe, Oxford University

‘In his capacity as a DPhil student and a tutor appointed by the college, Kit taught me the Oxford FHS politics core paper ‘British Government and Politics since 1900’. All of the tutorials were extremely well prepared, with a clear structure and well-defined goals. These tutorials helped me to explore the full complexity of 20th-century British politics, delineating the origins, the evolution, and the interplay different political traditions, and raising the paper to a theoretical level as to how historians and political scientists should approach the recent past. An expert on the Conservative Party and conservatism in Britain, Kit’s tutorials not only inspired me to write my undergraduate thesis on Margaret Thatcher, but also prepared me to tackle wider problems in history and contemporary politics.’ – Ziang, Oxford University
