About Samuel
I am an undergraduate historian at University of Oxford, where I read History and pursue rigorous training in primary source analysis, historiography, and academic argumentation. Alongside my degree, I have built substantial teaching experience, assisting the History Department at St Leonard’s School and tutoring students online across a range of platforms. My teaching focuses not only on content mastery but on cultivating precision of thought, clarity of expression, and intellectual independence — the qualities that distinguish top-level historians. Academically, I achieved an 8 in IGCSE History and a 7 in IB History, demonstrating consistent excellence prior to specialising at university level. Studying at Oxford has sharpened my ability to construct sophisticated, evidence-driven arguments under pressure — a skill I now help students to develop for GCSE, IB, and university admissions. I place particular emphasis on essay structure, source evaluation, and the art of persuasive analytical writing. I am currently completing my undergraduate degree and remain deeply committed to my subject. Teaching, for me, is not simply about improving grades; it is about mentoring students to think ambitiously and critically, and to approach history as an intellectually dynamic discipline. Outside academia, I compete in tennis and rowing, and I enjoy acting and playing the guitar — pursuits that reflect the same discipline, creativity, and energy I bring to my teaching.

I give specialised tuition on IB History. While I format each individual lesson plan based upon the needs of the student, personalised feedback on essays, examination techniques, structure, example essays, evidence sourcing and critical thinking make up my approach and are what you can expect from my lessons. In addition, we go through primary and secondary source analysis. I will provide advice on any questions that you may have relating to the subject and generate essay plans with you to maximise your grades. Furthermore, I can help with advice for applying to Oxbridge.
Recommendations

Sam was my history tutor during my final year at St Leonard’s School. He was really helpful because of his own recent experience with IB history, so he could give lots of insights into what worked for him. I particularly liked how, before the lesson, he came up with essay plans based on history questions I asked, so we could discuss our perspectives and understand the topic better. He was also really helpful in breaking down the question, the criteria, and the structure of an essay. I’m quite a slow writer so it was really good to learn a way to write an essay with a preformed structure, it was just filling in the gaps after that with evidence. What’s more, he made lessons fun and engaging with a unique and creative twist to learning techniques. If I mention Bingo and Bongo or the A-Team to anyone else of his students they’ll know what I mean! I highly recommend Sam specifically because of his recent experience with the subject and his willingness to help answer any questions about anything relating to history.
