About Nicholas
Who am I? An Oxford graduate with a PGCE from Birmingham and honoured with the prestigious 'Palmes Académiques' awarded by the French Minister of Education. A former Head of Secondary, Head of Department and principal University Adviser in two schools, I have successfully prepared students for entry to top universities. In over thirty years, I have, as a teacher, coached over 150 History, Art History, Law, Philosophy and Politics students to obtain offers from Oxford and Cambridge, and, as a university adviser, a further 50 in other subjects. As both a seasoned classroom teacher and private tutor, I have developed a unique teaching approach that transcends conventional boundaries, ensuring students flourish beyond the constraints of standardised curricula. My aim is to develop students' understanding of both themselves and their subject while ensuring exam success. From a former student, 'Thank you very much, for these interesting, insightful, and thoroughly enjoyable two years of History lessons, and for preparing me so completely for the exams. Looking back through the piles of books, essays, and notes during revision has made me appreciate how much I have learned in your class.'

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to real lessons experienced by the students of Nicholas.
Perfect! Nicholas is an inspiring historian as well as a great history tutor. He gives me great confidence that he will be able to raise my standards to the very highest. He recommended various books to me in the very first lesson which I shall be devoting myself to over the next few weeks. He clearly knows what he is talking about and is well versed in the controversies that lie at the heart of the history A-level syllabus and provide the fuel for a good essay. Highly recommended. Good tutor

Nicholas was my IB HL history teacher and was a tremendous support through this hard subject.
Really good at explaining complex ideas concisely. Incredibly kind and motivated teacher. I highly recommend Nicholas !!
I highly recommend Mr. Bunch for anyone looking for an excellent history tutor. As a student in his IB Higher Level History class for two years, I really benefited from his engaging teaching style and deep knowledge of history.
Mr. Bunch teaches with a passion that makes every lesson interesting. He emphasizes critical thinking, encouraging us to explore different perspectives and not take every historical source at face value. His approach to using secondary sources effectively was particularly helpful for developing my skills as a historian.
If you're seeking a tutor who can make history compelling and help you achieve an excellent grade on your exams, Mr. Bunch is someone I highly recommend!Nicholas was my IB history teacher during my final two years of high school.
His classes were inspiring, engaging, and always interesting.
His passion and expertise, as well as his deep knowledge of the subject of History, were the driving factors behind my decision to study History at an undergraduate level. Having studied history for the past three years at University, I have yet to find a teacher who has been able to match his ability to engage students.
Nicholas was very attentive and always made himself available to help and guide me. He was instrumental in teaching me how to think as a historian.He is a great teacher, very patient with his students and explains everything very calmly with good examples to support. He is attentive to the areas students need the most help with.
Mr. Bunch was my International Baccalaureate (IB) History teacher, as well as UCAS supervisor for the application process to UK universities. We covered together a breadth of topics, delving into the medieval history of the Iberian peninsula, but also exploring more recent and political history of Europe, Africa and the Middle East. With Mr. Bunch's support, I acquired this vast array of historical knowledge, which is now very useful to me in my undergraduate studies of History at the University of Cambridge.
If I were to briefly describe Mr. Bunch, I would say he had the potential to be a university professor, who is able to debate with students on niche topics, has read very widely, and can prepare lecture-style classes. I think he was limited by the high school class setting and the very different interests and engagement levels of students in the same group. I therefore believe that Mr. Bunch would do very well as a tutor, as he would dedicate himself fully to one student at a time, in the same way an academic would do so in a seminar or one-on-one supervision in university. His teaching abilities would best shine in a context where he could more deeply connect with the student and tailor his teaching style and pace to their needs.
Overall, I would say Mr. Bunch has great experience, having taught the IB for many years and being acquainted with almost all the papers offered for history in the programme. His own life stories and anecdotes that he at times shared with us in class also divulge his wisdom. Hard-working and very responsive, Mr. Bunch would be a wonderful tutor on political, historical, and even philosophical topics within the Humanities.Nicholas taught me History in high school; he's a great History teacher and his lessons are always interesting. He’s able to cover a range of topics with a lot of detail, while still keeping it engaging for students. It’s because of his unique teaching style and guidance that I pursued and am now completing a degree in History at the University of Oxford.
Nicholas was my teacher for 2 years of IB, covering History from the Incas and Aztecs to Independence movements of the 20th century. His way of teaching is very much like a story, making it nice to follow and understand. He truly helped develop my essay writing and prepared me well for the IB exams.
Professor Bunch is a phenomenal history teacher who helped me achieve a 7 in History Higher Level, an A in my Extended Essay, and an acceptance into my dream university, Yale. Charming, witty, and very British, Professor Bunch has a unique teaching style and extensive knowledge ranging from well-known historical events to niche areas and time periods: from the conquest of Mexico and the Dutch Revolt to Middle Eastern conflicts and the rise of nationalism in Africa. I believe he can be very helpful to any student seeking to improve their writing and gain a better understanding of the world. Therefore, I highly recommend Professor Bunch!
Mr Bunch is wonderful tutor/teacher. His lessons not only taught me about historical facts, but fundamentally changed the way I perceive historical and modern events.
I was taught about conflicting view-points and debates between historians, which gave me much more in depth understanding of different conflicts. Despite having his own personal opinions, Mr Bunch still presented conflicts in an impressively unbiased way, which really let me form my own view point. I think this is especially important at the moment considering how the media, on both sides of the political aisle, seems to presents issues in a very one sided manner.
Another aspect of his lessons which I greatly appreciated was how events were presented. Mr Bunch is a very talented story teller and it was easy to become completely immersed in what he taught.
I would definitely recommend Mr Bunch as a tutor.
