I’ve taught IGCSE History for seven years, with most of my students coming to me for help with essays and source questions. I’m particularly interested in twentieth-century history, especially the Cold War and the rise of dictatorships. My lessons usually involve discussing an argument first, then turning it into a clear written response. I also mark practice answers closely so students know exactly where their evidence or analysis needs more work.

History was always the subject I enjoyed most at school, and I’ve now been tutoring IGCSE students for four years. I’m quite informal in lessons and encourage students to talk through events before worrying about memorising dates. We use timelines when a topic gets confusing, then move onto past-paper questions once the story makes sense. The Cold War is probably my favourite area to teach, particularly because there are so many competing viewpoints to discuss.

I spent several years teaching humanities before moving into private IGCSE History tuition. A large part of my work is helping students understand what questions are actually asking for, particularly when dealing with sources and interpretations. I teach essay planning quite methodically and use examiner-style marking when reviewing written work. Modern European history is my main academic interest, although I’m equally comfortable working through the wider syllabus.

Hi! I tutor IGCSE History and tend to work with students who know the content but get stuck when they have to put it into an essay. We’ll often take one question and spend time deciding what actually belongs in the answer before writing anything. I’m a big fan of using short timelines and comparison tables for revision rather than pages of notes. I especially enjoy teaching international relations because it gives us plenty to debate during lessons.

My background is in historical research, and I have been tutoring IGCSE History alongside that work for five years. Source analysis is an area I particularly enjoy teaching because it requires more than simply recalling facts. I ask students to look carefully at provenance, purpose and context before deciding what a source can actually tell us. For essay practice, I focus on developing a defensible argument and selecting evidence that genuinely supports it.

I’ve worked with IGCSE History students for eight years and now concentrate mainly on exam preparation. My approach is practical: we identify which question types are causing problems, look at how the marks are awarded and practise until the structure becomes familiar. I’m particularly interested in political and social history, but essay technique remains a big part of my lessons. I keep examples of strong introductions and conclusions for students to analyse and improve.
