I am an enthusiastic teacher, having taught Primary Education since 2014. I have a diverse range of experience teaching in different primary settings and leading core subjects such as English and Maths. I currently work as a Year 6 teacher and Year group Leader. I have experience teaching both KS1 and KS2, however much of my experience has been in upper KS2. This has really helped to develop my understanding of statutory assessment in Primary education. Alongside this, I have been an external moderator (KS2 Writing) for the DfE, and a member of the Sussex Maths Hub which has both helped to keep my knowledge and understanding of current trends, pedagogy and assessment up to date so that my pupils are always best prepared to reach their full potential. I am accredited SLE (English) and enjoy sharing my passion for learning with children to help them thrive and achieve the highest possible standards. I have a wealth of experience with support children of all abilities in the primary setting to achieve excellence

Throughout my career to date I have endeavoured to bring great enthusiasm to all of my teaching and tutoring. As a result the vast majority of the students that I have tutored have gained high grades at GCSE and A-level, and most have continued to be successful in their university studies. While studying for my PhD I taught classes for two years to first and second year undergraduates at St. Andrews. I have also taught language classes to adult learners at Reading University Summer School, involving both beginners and intermediate students, and I am used to catering to the needs of students at various stages of their learning. My style is relaxed and I always aim to make learning enjoyable while promoting academic progress. I also encourage active participation and believe in allowing all students to comment constructively on their own progress and the different activities undertaken in lessons and tutorials. I can tutor students in English, French, History, Latin, Ancient Greek and Classical Studies.

If the past is what happened before, in an earlier time, History may be considered the investigation, study and explanation of the past. This study of people, origins of cultures and religions, past events, both triumphs and disasters, gives the context of our lives today. The name History comes from the Latin Historia, which also means stories. This is quite apt, since the earliest form of History was the telling and passing down through the generations of stories about the past. Historians use written documents and artefacts to reinforce their knowledge and understanding.
History can be broken down into areas of study:
(1) The people. These include rulers, emperors, kings, queens and political leaders who held great power and influence over populations and countries.
(2) The great ideas and forces that shaped how people thought and acted. These may have been started by individuals, but became driving forces in their own right which shaped and influenced society; examples are religions such as Christianity, political ideas such as Marxism and also how other elements in society or other countries in the world responded to them.
(3) The reaction of countries, their peoples and leaders, to challenges they face. These can be external, such as the threat of invasion or colonisation, new technologies in other countries affecting trade; internal, such as political pressure for change or environmental factors affecting the food supply. How the nations respond to these challenges defines the path they take in future years.
(4) The unexpected events that shape a country or peoples future and disrupt the pattern or sequence History often follows. This could be events such as the assassination of a Leader, such as Archduke Ferdinand which precipitated the First World War, or the decision of Britain to leave the EU.
History at GCSE is a linear qualification, meaning students take their exams at the end of the course, usually the end of Year 11. Typically, they will sit two 2 hour papers or three 90 minute papers. These assess topics from British, European and World history over varying time periods, with 40% of the topics covering British History. These could be an in-depth study of a relatively short time period such as Norman or Elizabethan England. A medium time period such as Germany from 1890 to 1945 or America from 1920 to 1973. A longer thematic study of health or warfare or migration in the last 1000 years.
History at A Level develops Critical Thinking and Essay Writing skills. It requires students to evaluate events and source material and present a reasoned logical argument based on these evaluations. History at A Level will often have three main areas of study. A Breadth Study across a wider period of time such as The British Empire, Tsarist and Communist Russia or The Tudors. A depth Study across a shorter period of time such as The War of The Roses, The Birth of the USA or The French Revolution. A Historical Investigation on a topic of the student’s choice, across a period of around 100 years. For the Depth and Breadth Studies one should be a British History option and the other a non-British History option. The Historical Investigation must be on a different topic area and overall the student must cover a range of at least 200 years in their studies. History A level can lead to degree studies in History or other subjects including Philosophy, Politics, Economics, Classics and Archaeology. These in turn may lead to careers in Education, Law, Banking and Publishing amongst others.
