Extended Essays, including question refinement and methodological clarity.
In Literature, students develop close reading skills, comparative analysis, and persuasive argumentation grounded in textual evidence. Emphasis is placed on clarity, depth, and strong essay structure under timed conditions.

About Me
I am a historian trained at King’s College London, currently completing an MPhil in Medieval History and preparing to begin an MLitt at the University of St Andrews. I also completed the IB myself, so I understand both the academic expectations and the pressure students face.
My teaching style is structured, analytical, and results-focused. I do not simply review content — I train students to think, argue, and write at a high academic level. In History, I focus on thesis construction, evaluation, historiography, and mastering command terms. In Literature, I emphasise close reading, conceptual interpretation, and disciplined essay structure.
I work best with motivated IB HL and A-Level students who want to move beyond average performance and aim for top-band results. Sessions are rigorous but supportive. My goal is to build independence, confidence, and the kind of analytical clarity that prepares students not only for exams, but for university-level study.
