About
I am a qualified teacher with experience teaching History, Politics and Sociology across secondary and sixth form level. As Whole School Citizenship Lead and accredited Parliament Teacher Ambassador, I am committed to developing students' critical thinking and political literacy.
I hold a joint honours degree in History and Politics, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (with QTS). I am looking to support students in improving their grades and deepening their learning - working with the student to define what "success" looks like to them. I will work with the student to develop a plan on improving their grade, whether that involves working with the student to consolidate core knowledge and refine revision techniques to secure a pass, or to work on essay structure and wider knowledge to help achieve the top grades.
Lessons can be as brief or long as the pupil requires, but I would encourage bookings to be between 50 to 90 minutes.
In order to assist me in answering to the best of my ability, it would be appreciated if your initial message could include:
The exam board and, where relevant, optional topics which the pupil is studying.
Their current year of study, and current academic performance (e.g. predicted grades, recent mock exam results etc...)
What you would like the focus of the tutoring sessions to be (e.g. going over core content, developing exam technique, extending knowledge) and any other aims or goals.
How long you would like lessons to last
Any other relevant information.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Thomas C.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

My son has really enjoyed working with Tom for his A-Level politics, and Tom has, and continues to help him with his learning and understanding a huge amount. It was a bit of a last minute thing, so he’s only been with my son for 4 weeks or so before exams begin, but has been super flexible and understanding, wanting to know what my son’s specific areas of need were before they started, and making sure these topics are covered. Communication has been easy, pleasant and straight forward, and re organsiing times has also been flexible to fit around what’s been possible this end. Highly recommend.
