About Andy

With 26 years’ teaching experience in a variety of types of secondary school, I feel confident that I should be able to provide you with whatever support you need in History or Politics. In addition to my PGCE in Secondary History I hold a First Class Honours degree in Politics. Fancying a change of direction and priorities, I left the classroom in Summer 2023 and am pursuing a range of opportunities. Tutoring is one of these and enables me to enjoy the most fulfilling aspects of teaching, namely helping students and seeing you progress and thrive, as well as allowing me to continue to indulge my passion for History and Politics. I have taught both to A Level for much of that time, most recently as a Head of History in an Oxfordshire independent school and, for a large portion of my career, in a large Buckinghamshire grammar school. I was an AS Level Government and Politics examiner for Edexcel from 2007-2013 and have refreshed my exam skills in recent years with webinars from Edexcel A Level and CIAE iGCSE chief examiners/textbook authors. I enjoyed the opportunity to teach some KS3 English in my previous post and this helped me to reflect on, and develop writing strategies that I have applied to my History and Politics teaching. Specific Experience: • I have taught and tutored Edexcel, OCR and AQA A Level History. • My most recent GCSE teaching has been the CAIE iGCSE specification and I have also delivered Edexcel and OCR courses in the classroom and tutoring. • I am confident in supporting all History exam skills: source analysis, organisation of extended writing, essay technique and coursework management. • I recently wrote an A Level revision guide to support the Edexcel Russia, 1917-91 course for (concealed information) • My A Level Politics teaching has followed the Edexcel specification, although I am very happy tutoring the AQA specification as well. • Edexcel AS level Politics examiner (2007-13). • I have experience of teaching KS3 English and can help you with this. • I served as Assistant Head of Sixth Form in my two most recent schools, providing pastoral support and overseeing UCAS applications. • Over the years, I have supervised EPQ students on a variety of topics, usually History, Politics or Humanities-related. It has been interesting watching original ideas go from an often-uncertain start to an independently researched and crafted piece of extended enrichment work. • Throughout my teaching career, I have volunteered as a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Leader and Assessor, coordinating the scheme in two schools. • In July 2021, I completed the Complete SEND Diploma remotely with the New Skills Academy. It is particularly satisfying to see young people who find the curriculum or conventional school environment challenging achieve or exceed their potential and I undertook this Diploma to help widen my understanding the experience of SEND learners and to develop my strategies to support them. • As part of my PGCE, I took a Certificate in Pre-Service Education: Teaching English as a Foreign Language. This enabled me to work in a TEFL summer school in the UK between qualifying and starting my teaching career. • I am confident working with you in person or online. My last school moved to full remote teaching very quickly during the first Covid lockdown and previously I worked for an early adopter of Google Classroom. • I hold a current DBS certificate and subscribe to the Update service. • I am fully insured as a tutor.

My job is to bridge the gap between what you cover in the classroom and how you use that to succeed. My lessons are always completely student-focused, aiming to empower learners and give you the confidence and resilience to formulate opinions, develop explanations and lines of argument and ultimately achieve. I begin by discussing your individual requirements and goals, be they particular aspects of exam technique, specific themes or topics or more general study skills, such as note-taking or revision strategies. These are then the basis of all of my planning and lessons are continually adapted as you progress or to find different approaches that will work for you. History teachers are always flexible: there are a huge range of time periods and topics out there, so we are experts at mastering all that we need to and applying our understanding of exam requirements to these. Politics is constantly, and often unexpectedly, changing and evolving; I am, therefore, constantly up to speed with developments in my subjects and ensure that my students know how to apply these to their learning. Each lesson will include some focus on exam/assessment materials, be it planning a practice question, reviewing work you have completed either as part of, or in addition to, your normal school or college tasks, or focusing on a particular feature of exam questions, such as writing a conclusion or interpreting cartoon sources. Any additional notes or resources are at no extra charge.
