I have been lecturing in History for the last 4 years in both AQA and Edexcel A-level. I also have experience of teaching at undergraduate level. Prior to working within education, i worked within the heritage sector.
I am passionate, engaged and enthusiastic about history and politics and can help adapt my tutorials to individual needs and requirements.
I also taught remotely during the pandemic, so have experience of online tutoring and lecturing.
I have taught for the last 4 years as an A-level lecturer in History, Ancient History as well as Politics and English Literature. I also taught undergraduates whilst undertaking my PhD.
I have taught on Communist states in the 20th century (Edexcel), Tsarist Russia (AQA), Rebellion and disorder in Tudor Britain (Edexcel) as well as A-level Politics (Edexcel) and Ancient history (OCR)
However, through my academic experience, I also have a wealth of experience in the following-
In Ancient History, I have extensively studied the following-
The Roman invasion of Britain, Rome in the Augustan age, the Civilisation of Fifth-Century Athens, Transformations of Helen (of Troy), Roman Cities, Greek History from the Archaic Age to Alexander, the Roman Republic, Ancient Egypt, Roman Religions, Alexander to Cleopatra: History of the Culture of the Hellenistic world and Ancient Biography.
In Modern History, I have extensively (to postgraudate (MA) level) studied the following-
Intelligence in WWII (Including, but not exclusively Operation Fotitude and ‘Station X’ at Bletchley Park). War and Society (with 3 key themes; Civil War and its impact in France, Britain and Germany 1560-1648, Total War and Modernity 1700-1900 and The Memory of War 1945-2000), History Research Skills and War, Culture and Leisure c. 1860’s-1960’s).
For my PHD, I specialised in Naval Warfare. Therefore I am confident in tutoring between Tudor to Modern Naval and Maritime history.
In addition, I also have experience in tutoring in academic writing, exam skills, VIVA practice, Major review preperation, presentation skills, study skills aswell as pastoral tutoring such as CV writing and university application. I have as a tutor got students successfully accepted to Russel Groups and Oxbridge.
Naval History, WWII history, Communist states (Edexcel and AQA), Rebellion and disorder in Tudor England, War of the Roses and Tsarist Russia, Ancient History and Classics.
Some great constructive feedback which I will now use to improve my work. Thank you!
Samantha is an excellent tutor and I would 100% recommend her. I would not have been able to complete my exams if it had not have been for all her help. She makes sure you fully understand a topic before moving on and is always asking questions to keep you engaged. Honestly couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you so much Samantha for all your help.
Solve my problems very efficiently
amazing, extremely friendly and covered everything in great depth
Samantha has been amazing for our daughter, Rosa, in the run up to her A-level Ancient History exams! We can't thank you enough, Samantha and you've given Rosa so much added confidence in this very complex subject, thank you! You've made the subject come alive for her and have made lessons fun and engaging. Rosa will miss speaking with you and has thoroughly enjoyed her time with you.

Samantha has been invaluable in supporting my daughter Connie submit her assignments and dissertation on time. She was unphased by the very tight timescales she had to work with and enabled Connie to focus, stay calm and produce work of a very high standard. I have no hesitation in recommending Samantha.
Thank you so much Samantha for all your support for Oskar. He’s enjoyed your sessions immensely and has had two great exams.
Pippa got an A* in History! Absolutely ecstatic. She's off to Sheffield in September.
Thank you so much for your help. It was invaluable.
Samantha is an exceptional tutor who, on very short notice, identified the issues in my work and clearly explained how to correct them. I strongly recommend her and look forward to working with her again.
