Also a trainer and mentor for new members of staff in the private sector as a Technical Team Leader in insurance claims handling and as a Senior Property and Operations Manager in property.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is based upon encouragement, clarity and intellectual curiosity. I create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident asking questions, exploring complex ideas, and developing their critical understanding and voice. Each session is tailored to the student’s academic level, goals, and learning style, combining structured guidance with flexible discussion to promote independent thinking. I emphasise clear planning, strong analytical writing, and rigorous source evaluation, helping students not only to understand historical content but also develop transferable skills in discussion and research. My ethos is grounded in mutual respect, academic integrity, and a genuine passion for helping students succeed, whether they are building foundational knowledge or preparing for advanced research.
