The GCSE elite series is designed for students who want to get a grade 7, 8 or 9 in their history GCSE. The elite series of textbooks explores key ideas in more depth so you fully understand what they mean and why they are important.
Currently we are offering 2 ebooks to match the Edexcel courses:
Germany: 1918-1945
Medicine 1250-present
Very shortly we will be introducing 2 more ebooks should your school follow the AQA courses which are very similar.
It is not uncommon with traditional GCSE textbooks when covering important ideas within the curriculum that they are not examined in sufficient depth to ensure you get those top grades. The GCSE elite series is designed to give you all the knowledge of the key players, events and ideas but crucially we go further by showing you new interpretations of events that will allow you to add a level of detail and sophistication to your answers, particularly in your extended writing questions worth 12 and 16 marks, that will hugely impress examiners and separate you from those relying on traditional books.
But the elite series offers you far more than just a textbook. As a digital first
product
you
get:
● a 130+ page ebook
● key timelines
● questions to check your level of understanding every few pages
● model answers to dozens of questions from past papers
● Over 4 hours of video tutorials to help you learn the techniques of answering the various
different types of GCSE questions you will have to master for your Edexcel or AQA history
GCSE
exams.
I will be organising online tutorials for A-level and GCSE students for the end of spring term and Easter holidays. If you would like to get details of those courses when they are announced, add your details below and I will email you nearer the time.
If you want to book online lessons, I have a small number of slots I keep free for students each week. The first lesson is completely free. So if you just want a taster, go ahead and reserve a slot and there’s no charge.
For subsequent lessons the cost is £50 for a 50 minute lesson or you can book a course of 10 lessons for £450.
I can tutor you in any of the following topic areas and am happy to work with you whichever examining board your school uses:
GCSE:
● Germany: 1871 - 1955 (including the very popular Weimar to Hitler module)
● WW1 and WW2
● Medicine through time
● Crime and punishment through time
● Cold war relations
● Civil rights in America 1945 - 1974
A-level:
● Modern Britain: 1900 - present
● The British Empire
● Russia: 1855 - 1964
● Germany: 1871 - 1955
● France: 1774 - 1815
If you are studying a topic not covered by the list above we can discuss it and I’ll
let
you know if I think I could mentor you to the level you deserve.
For example I have read widely or written on subjects such as:
Modern Irish history
Military history
Italian Fascism
And for A-level students, I can also help you with your extended essay (4,000 words) which is a component of most A-level syllabuses.
