About Dee
I graduated from the University of Edinburgh in History (MA) in the summer of 2018. I was awarded prizes for coming top in my year in History (of 300 students) and also top in my year in the humanities (of over 3000 students). My dissertation is currently being considered for publication in History Today as the ‘best undergraduate History dissertation from a British university’. I have secured a full scholarship – covering all fees as well as maintenance – to study an MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History at the University of Cambridge next year. I will help students draw connections between different parts of the History they are studying - to employ divergent ways of thinking which will be sure to make their work stand out.

I initially came to Dee for lessons on History and Politics, subjects I always found tedious. His knowledge encompasses a broad range of topics, making for a diverse and interesting range of subjects to suit any candidate.
However, what sets Dee apart is his supreme talent in manipulating and weaving story lines between vastly different subjects, initially seemingly irrelevant, and bringing them together in a coherent picture that allows for the complete understanding of the chosen subject.
Furthermore, Dee’s phenomenal debating skills constantly keeps you wrong footed, forcing you to analyse established views and opinions in increasingly critical ways. A vastly important skill for anyone interested in History, Politics, or the art of debating.
Finally, Dee’s way with words doesn’t only extend to the vocal, his written talents and unique eye for flow has significantly improved my written communication skills and writing style, a skill I find vitally important in this increasingly text based age.View more recommendations
