About Andrea
With 10 years’ experience as a History lecturer and research fellow at top British universities, I combine professional expertise with a patient, encouraging approach that is tailored to the individual student’s needs.
I aim to build confidence, develop study skills, expand intellectual horizons and inspire enthusiasm for the humanities.
I offer tuition for GCSE and A level candidates in History and English. More broadly, I can also help students at any level to develop study skills, essay writing techniques and research skills in all humanities subjects.
I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 1999 with a double First in History and numerous prizes and scholarships before going on to complete an MPhil and a PhD in History, also at Cambridge. Since completing my PhD in 2005, I have worked as a research fellow and lecturer at the University of Cambridge and more recently at the University of York. I am also the author of a book, English identity and political culture in the fourteenth century (published by Cambridge University Press in 2013) and numerous journal articles and scholarly essays.
As a parent myself, I understand the pressures that parents face as they seek to help their child fulfil their academic potential whilst balancing concern for their well-being. Over the years, I have taught dozens of students in one-to-one tutorials and I have gained expertise in bringing out the best in individual students, boosting the under-confident and challenging those who need to be pushed a little further to achieve their potential. My aim is to work as a team with students and parents/carers to build confidence, broaden thinking skills and help you achieve your goals for a successful and happy academic future.
Please note: I tutor mostly from home due to family commitments but I am often able to travel within the Morden/Merton/Sutton/Mitcham/Wimbledon/New Malden/Croydon area (KT/SM/CR/SW postcodes); please get in touch to discuss arrangements. If you don't see the time you want, feel free to make a suggestion!

She taught history tutorially (one-to-one) and in lectures and classes to Cambridge University History undergraduates and graduates. She was brilliant: completely on top of her subject, conscientious, reliable, kind, though willing to be tough where necessary, engaging them, suiting her teaching expertly to the student's level. She has a lot of teaching experience.
Andrea has wide experience of working with children and young people through various voluntary roles. She is a patient and clear communicator who is able to relate well to the young people that she works with.
