The A Level History Tutor
Hello, I’m Amanda, an experienced UK-qualified online A Level History tutor and GCSE History tutor with over 20 years of teaching A Level History, helping students build confidence, master essay skills, and achieve top exam grades. I currently work as Head of History at a Sixth Form College, where I lead the department, design the curriculum, and support students of all abilities.
Alongside my teaching role, I also have extensive experience as an A Level History examiner, which gives me a deep understanding of how mark schemes work and what examiners expect from top-band answers. This insight is one of the biggest advantages I bring as an A Level History tutor.
