History Postgraduate Tutors

A history postgraduate degree is no walk in the park, so we only hire tutors who have been through it before. Our expert tutors graduated from leading universities, and their insider knowledge and expert insights can help you excel your way to a first-class degree.

Minimal contact hours can be daunting, and self-motivation can be tough. But Tavistock Tutors can help with one-to-one attention which can maximise your studying. They can help fine-tune your ideas or give an academic opinion on your thesis.

With their tips and tricks, all our students are in good hands, and that 20,000-word thesis won’t seem so daunting anymore.

I have a very friendly manner for teaching my students. As a father of five teenage and twenty something daughters I know what is needed to foster success in education. I find that encouragement can help build confidence that is so often absent in very capable students. Finding this avenue to foster achievement is what I do best when tutoring. I...

Whilst tutoring I would pay particular attention to the needs of each student, and tailor their tutoring sessions to best meet their needs and wishes. My approach to tutoring emphasises clarity, flexibility, and an enthusiasm for learning, within an informal and relaxed yet structured and interactive environment. I use a variety of methods and approaches towards tutoring including working through...

Since I taught my first class to undergraduates at Princeton, I have greatly enjoyed helping students explore what they love about Classics. Tutoring gives me the opportunity to find out what motivates and inspires the people I work with, and it’s a real privilege to build a rapport one on one and facilitate their learning. I tailor my approach to...

I care deeply about helping people to develop confidence in their ideas and their imaginative capacities and recognise that many of these pivotal moments happen whilst we are still in education. As a practicing artist I know how moving from tender beginnings of ideas into manifesting artworks requires real courage and commitment. Having someone someone you can trust in to...

Confidence and inquisitiveness are to my mind crucial in the learning process. Building confidence and inspiring inquisitiveness thus lie at the centre of all my teaching. I work with tutees to help them develop the skills needed to acquire and deploy knowledge in a given subject, as well as to know how to resolve an aspect of a subject which...

Interaction, debate and discussion. Law and the other subjects I teach, are by their very nature, contentious. It is essential to understand the debates inherent in the subject. I believe that with discussion and interaction even the most difficult areas of subjects become understandable. I approach private tuition by confronting the debates and flexibility of perspectives in subjects, allowing students...

I believe in the importance of understanding the students’ needs and goals in order to tailor lessons to their needs and unique skills. Through experience I have come to realise that there is no one way to learn and in my teaching practice I try to incorporate different materials such as subject-specific texts and past exam papers, and exercises in academic...

My teaching philosophy is grounded in self-reflection, creativity and self-efficacy. I believe that as a tutor my role is to help students explore their place in the world, embrace diversity and encourage critical and independent thinking. I view learning as a process that should include personal as well as intellectual growth. Not only do I consider these principles central to...

Dr Matthew D

Genuine learning and understanding is just as important to me as achieving academic goals. I love the subjects I teach, and above anything else I want to communicate that love to my students. I believe that to learn deeply, the whole person has to be engaged; and when the whole person is engaged, good results usually follow! Drawing on my...

I was lucky enough to grow up in a house filled with art. My parents are both avid amateur collectors, picking up pieces from the varying countries that they have lived in around the world. From a young age I was drawn to the bright colours of African artists such as Tola Wewe which hung next to works by Scottish...
