I’ve taught IGCSE History for nine years and particularly enjoy the twentieth-century topics, especially Germany and the Cold War. A lot of my tutoring focuses on turning good historical knowledge into a well-structured exam answer. We work with sources regularly, looking closely at provenance and context rather than jumping straight into writing. I also use past papers to sharpen timing and essay planning.

Hi! I’ve been tutoring IGCSE History for five years, mostly with students who know the content but get stuck when they have to put it into an essay. I’m a big fan of timelines and quick verbal quizzes, especially for topics with lots of dates and people to remember. Once the knowledge is there, we practise building arguments and deciding which evidence actually belongs in the answer.

My background is in modern history, and I have seven years of experience teaching IGCSE students. I take a fairly structured approach to lessons, with particular attention to source evaluation, extended responses and the wording of exam questions. The Cold War is probably my favourite topic to teach. I find students understand it much better when events are treated as a connected story rather than separate facts to memorise.

I came into private tutoring after working as a secondary History teacher and have now spent more than a decade teaching IGCSE History. I’m especially interested in helping students improve essays because small changes to an argument can make a noticeable difference. My lessons often involve taking an old answer apart, discussing where it lost marks, then rewriting one section properly rather than starting again from scratch.

History made much more sense to me once I stopped treating it as a huge list of dates, and that idea shapes how I teach. I’ve tutored IGCSE History for four years and usually start with causes, consequences and connections before worrying about detailed recall. I enjoy teaching international relations and conflict topics most. For exam preparation, we spend plenty of time comparing sources and planning answers under time limits.

I’ve spent six years working with IGCSE History students, including many who find source questions harder than essays. I like to put two sources side by side and talk through what each one can actually tell us before introducing the mark scheme. My academic interest is twentieth-century political history, although I teach across the syllabus. Near exam season, lessons become much more focused on timed writing and past-paper feedback.
