😔 Is your child finding it difficult to answer the longer answer questions in GCSE History? Do they struggle to understand what the question is asking them to do? Do they know the historical facts, but can’t seem to organise their thoughts to answer the question asked? Many students find the longer questions on the GCSE History papers the hardest to achieve top marks. They have the knowledge but can't seem to organise to answer the question asked. My online tuition sessions help students to: ❓ Understand the command words of the question. 🔎 Decode the whole question so they know what they are being asked to answer 🔤 Select which are most appropriate history facts to use in the question. ✔️ Know simple but effective ways of structuring their answers to help them access the top marks. ✍️ Sign up for a summer booster programme, weekly or termly sessions.

Is your child struggling to master the content of their GCSE history course? These new GCSEs were introduced in 2016 with a LOT more content. Mastering the content can be tricky. I can help your child by: 💪 Helping them to understand and break down the content into manageable chunks (e.g. why the event happened, what happened and what were the consequences) 💪 Ensuring any misconceptions are corrected (for example. so many students muddle the 1923 hyperinflation in Weimar Germany with the Great Depression of the 1930s) 💪 Model different ways to help them remember the factual detail (timelines, mnemonics, Cornell Notes, flashcards, stories) 💪 Identifying the key facts they need to know. 💪 Helping them make links between events and developments to see the bigger picture. #Icanhelp #historyturo #mastery #historycontent #historygcse #historytutor #onlinetutor

Is your child starting GCSE History in September or entering Year 11? 🫤 Not sure what’s out there on the internet to help them in terms of getting to know the content? 🥇 Today's recommendation is: https://lnkd.in/eBgsKfvY John D Clare has created fabulous resources for GCSE students and teachers! 🎯 His website focuses on Modern History and is particularly useful if you are studying AQA GCSE History. 🤩 The website is well organised into topics which are then broken down so it's easy to navigate. ✔️ Each topic is explained, with details of what happened, why it happened and the consequences, supported by primary sources as well as extracts from historians. There are hyperlinks for further reading or helpful videos, maps etc. 🔝 Mr Clare gives lots of useful tips on how to revise making great use of acronyms and includes self-tests on the key content. He’s currently revamping the website, so some sections are not yet updated.
