Ancient History Tutors : 1-1 Ancient History Preparation

Hi, I’m Shreya, an Oxford History graduate who tutors English, Classics, and History for GCSE, A-Level, and Oxbridge preparation.
My approach combines:

Clear frameworks that make complex historical concepts easier to understand
LAMDA training (with Distinction) that enhances my communication skills
Speech and debate tutoring experience that I apply to academic teaching

I help students develop:

Strong analytical skills
Confidence in expressing their ideas
Effective exam and interview techniques

My Oxford background gives me insight into what admissions tutors are looking for, which helps me guide students through the application process effectively.
I enjoy helping students see connections between subjects and develop the skills they need to succeed across the humanities.
Looking forward to helping you achieve your academic goals!

I am an enthusiastic, engaging and passionate teacher who loves to support young people make progress. I began my career as a teaching assistant in Manchester before training to teach. Since then, I have worked in Manchester and West Norfolk, progressing to Head of Department and Assistant Headteacher. I have taught a broad range of History and Ancient History at KS3, GCSE and A Level, and also have experience teaching KS3 Geography, GCSE Religious Studies and A Level Politics. I am well-placed to support you in terms of source analysis, writing short-answers and extended writing, your understanding of topics and knowledge recall.

I am taking a break from the classroom to fulfil my personal ambition of learning French, and it’s important to me that I continue my passion of working with young people while I am studying. In addition to my years of experience in the classroom, I have current experience of what it’s like to learn and find concepts challenging!

My A Levels were in History, English Literature and English Language, and I have an AS in Government and Politics. My undergraduate degree was in History and Classical Civilisation, and I have a Master’s degree in Medieval Studies (History).

My name is Sonila and I’m a recent Classics graduate from the University of Oxford. Education has been the focal point of the majority of my life, and is something I enjoy and keep up as a graduate, ensuring I stay well-read and well informed. Throughout my time in education I have consistently attained excellent grades across both humanities and STEM subjects, specialising in French, English literature and History for my A-Level.

In the past, I have attended tutoring sessions as a student, in order to pass the 11+ and stay consistent with GCSE maths and further maths, and both occasions were extremely useful to me. Therefore, I understand the ways in which tutoring can support a student and create confidence in their abilities.

I have some experience working with younger students at summer schools, and consider myself calm and understanding, as well as warm and encouraging.
