History, Humanities, essay writing and exam preparation.

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Having worked in an alternative school, my approach is very much based on each student's understanding and ways of learning. Instead of imposing a specific method on the student, I try to understand how they work, how they understand the subject and what the university or school requires of them, and help them improve in the necessary areas.

I specialize in teaching History and Political Science for both school (iGCSE, A-Level, IB) and university (Bachelors). My teaching focuses on both content and form (essay writing and exam preparation skills).

About Me

I am an open, multicultural person who thrives on social encounters and intellectual discussion. I was trained in an alternative pedagogical method which focuses on cultivating autonomy in the student in an environment free of fear. As such, trust and respect between the student and the teacher is of vital importance if learning is to occur.

Pierre is a great professional teacher who understands exactly my students needs and how to help me.
I needed help in writing my statement of purpose, I didn't even know where to start. He was very good at asking the right questions allowing me to put my thoughts in order to plan out how to begin writing. I highly recommend him as he knows very well what he's doing and has experience.

I specialise in History A Level (Edexcel and AQA) and IB. I am an english native speaker with three years teaching experience in an alternative boarding school in Hampshire and work with a distinctive teaching style adapted to each student's needs and personality. Rather than trying to cram in a bunch of facts I approach history as a curiosity: what makes it interesting? why is it relevant to our lives today? Why, indeed, do they say that history always repeats itself - is it that we can never learn from the past? These are the kind of meta-questions that will run through our classes most of which will be discussion based and will include homework, short exercises, co-marking and assignment of additional readings to complement your syllabus.

Academic Writing and Public Speaking in English, Test Preparation, Study Skills
Being able to communicate properly orally and in writing are some essential skills that are useful for many aspects of life. Academically, it is necessary to write essays or reports in a certain way to respect the different codes of academic writing. By doing this, it would allow you to reach higher level with your writing skills and to get good grades. This applies as well to public speaking. I can also help you proofreading and advise you on your study skills. I had 2:1 for my honours bachelor’s degree and I have just finished my master’s degree at London School of Economics and Political Sciences. My studies allowed me to learn how to properly write essays, reports, journal articles, as well as speaking in front of crowds for various presentations. I believe that my experience and expertise will help you to achieve your goals.

Political Science, History and International Studies Classes
History and Political Science are intertwined subjects with multidisciplinary approaches. To study one of these, one must understand the other. I offer classes that teach either of the two subjects, as well as both (if required) with aspect to the other. How often have we wondered about historical events with respect to Politics? Do we know that the Romanovs were related to the British Royal Family and how their brutal killings was shaped by geopolitics of the era, or how Hitler's death was a highly controversial political debate? You see how history and politics cannot be separated. It is also undeniable that having knowledge of the two subjects can help you achieve higher marks and credits, as well as a deeper understanding and passion for the subjects.
