Online History Tutor Lisa

As an history tutor, qualified teacher and examiner with nearly 20 years of teaching experience, I am passionate about harnessing the potential of online platforms to provide personalised education. My approach focuses on identifying the unique needs of each student to ensure their success. As a trained IGCSE and A-Level examiner, I possess valuable insights into the examination process, enabling me to guide students effectively through content comprehension, answer structuring, and revision strategies. Having taught a wide range of topics at GCSE, IGCSE, and A-Level, I have an up to date understanding of the curriculums and expectations of various examination boards, including OCR and AQA A-Level, CIE (Cambridge International) and Edexcel GCSE and IGCSE (Pearson). I am available for both homeschooling and targeted revision lessons, utilising a wealth of online resources to support each student's journey. My teaching style emphasises a straightforward yet effective method for analysing historical sources and understanding diverse perspectives, ensuring students grasp what is required by examiners. Additionally, I have a proven track record of enhancing student performance through after-school revision classes at every school I have worked at and online lessons. My history of success speaks for itself, and I am dedicated to helping students excel in their studies.

I have supported students across a wide range of topics and exam boards, including A-Level, IGCSE and GCSE. Even if your specific topic isn’t listed, I’m confident I can help.

I specialise in designing personalised revision programmes tailored to your learning style and academic goals. I also provide full access to a wealth of high-quality online resources at no extra cost.

Whether you are looking for help with exam technique, topic content or just answering the question, I’d love to support your journey.
