About Me

I'm an MPhil History graduate at the University of Cambridge, specialising in the history of political thought. During my undergraduate degree, I studied a range of historical periods and themes, including but not limited to: British history (both political and social/economic) 1700-1886, European history 1714-1848, Classical Greece, Republican Rome, and political thought from 400 BC to the present day.

Tutor Experience

At Cambridge, teaching is conducted through utterly personalised, one-to-one supervisions where work is discussed in intense detail and every unique, individual need can be addressed. This is the spirit I bring to my own lessons. I have no set curriculum, and shall suffer no standard-issue powerpoints - every lesson is designed to the finest point with a particular student in mind. A discursive approach allows total focus on their particular weaknesses and aims, and devoted attention to written work ensures that, unlike in standard classroom lessons, the student can become well-versed and confident in the nature of essay-technique and argumentation, thereby taking the imposing mystery out of exam preparation.

I have been tutoring professionally for more than two years and have logged more than 1000+ lessons. I began tutoring for University admissions, coaching for interviews, HAT/HAA admissions exams, and general academic preparation through wider-reading. It has been my great privilege to see all of my students so far invited for interviews, and more than 80% to achieve their places in Oxbridge. I teach history and politics at all levels, most commonly A-Level and GCSE. In some extreme cases, my students have managed to increase their marks by ~15 per essay. Almost all of my GCSE/A-Level student have advanced by one or two grades after a course of lessons, or have achieved an A*/9.

For history, I am most well-versed in all British papers (particularly the Tudors, Rebellion, and 19th century), the Cold War, and Russia (Tsars until Stalin), but I am able to take on almost all available courses with a little notice.

I also tutor GCSE Latin, Religious Studies, and Philosophy.

Topic Expertise

For history, I am most well-versed in Weimar/Nazi Germany, all British papers (particularly the Tudors, Lancastrians/Yorkists, Rebellion, and 19th century), the Reformation, the Cold War, Civil Rights, and Russia (Tsars until Stalin), but I am able to take on almost all available courses with a little notice.

I teach Government and Politics regularly, which was my best subject when I sat A-Levels myself. I have taught all exam boards.

I also tutor GCSE Latin, Religious Studies, and Philosophy.

Testimonials

Conall has been an inspirational tutor for my son. Not only has he been able to help him increase his grade to an A but he has reignited my son's passion for history. The tutor sessions were something that he looked forward to, where he could debate but also have an indepth discussion about Lancs vs Yorks, Maos china and Russia. Mrs Bint, St Albans
