I’ve taught IGCSE History for six years, mostly working with students who know the content but struggle to turn it into a strong exam answer. I spend plenty of time on source questions, essay structure and using evidence properly. Modern European history is my favourite area to teach, particularly Germany and the Cold War. I also make my own short practice papers for lessons.

History made much more sense to me once I stopped treating it as a pile of dates. That’s how I teach IGCSE students now. We look at why events happened, what changed afterwards and how to use that knowledge in an actual exam response. I’ve been tutoring for four years and particularly enjoy lessons on twentieth-century international relations, China and the First World War.

I am a qualified History teacher with nine years of classroom and private tutoring experience. My IGCSE lessons are closely tied to the syllabus, with particular attention given to interpretation, source evaluation and extended responses. I usually begin by looking at a student’s recent schoolwork so that our sessions address specific gaps rather than simply repeating material they already understand.

Hi, I’m a History tutor with a slightly unhealthy collection of old maps! I’ve worked with IGCSE students for five years and like lessons to involve plenty of discussion rather than me talking for an hour. We might compare two sources, pick apart a past-paper question or argue over which cause mattered most. My main interests are twentieth-century Asia, conflict and international relations.

I started tutoring IGCSE History alongside postgraduate study and have continued for the past seven years. Most of my students come to me for help with essay planning and source-based questions, so these form a regular part of my sessions. I have a particular academic interest in British imperial history and modern Asia. I’m quite methodical and often use timelines to establish context before tackling an argument.

My background is in historical research, but tutoring has been part of my week for around three years now. With IGCSE students, I’m especially interested in teaching them how to question a source rather than simply describe what it says. Lessons are fairly conversational and usually finish with a short exam question. I enjoy teaching Cold War history most, particularly when students start spotting links between events.
