About Nick
I have written GCSE history text books and have just started number 7 for the GCSE elite series of books. I have also written a GCSE revision guide and an A-level text book with a 2nd one due for publication in September 2024.
I studied Economics and Politics at the University of Bath as an undergraduate, and recently gained a distinction in my Masters degree in Modern History from Canterbury Christchurch University.
My main areas of academic expertise are in the following modules for GCSE. The first three I have authored textbooks for:
● Germany: 1871 - 1955 (including the very popular Weimar to Hitler module)
● Medicine through time
● Superpower relations/cold war
● Crime and punishment through time
● WW1 and WW2
● Civil rights in America 1945 - 1974
For A-level :
● Modern Britain: 1900 - present
● The British Empire
● Russia: 1855 - 1964 (textbook written)
● Germany: 1871 - 1955
● France: 1774 - 1815 (textbook almost finished)
I may be able to tutor you on other modules, depending on what they are and may be able to tutor 1st/2nd year undergraduates, again depending on the modules being studied.
I have also tutored on modern political theory (conservatism, socialism etc) so can probably help you if you are also doing A-level politics.
The most important thing from your tutor is that they know the subject inside out and having written 7+ books I can give all my students the kind of depth of tuition needed to get the very top grades at both GCSE and A-level.
I love history and politics and after 25 years in the corporate sector I moved into teaching. I taught history and economics recently in a private school in Hampshire, teaching at both GCSE and A-level before focusing on authoring school text books and online tutoring.

Firstly, let's make them enjoyable and to guarantee that I use the active learning style of teaching. There's nothing worse than just being lectured to for 50+ minutes so all the lessons are focused on the student engaging with cartoons, photos, paintings, speeches and letters written at the time of the topic being covered. Learning by reviewing primary source material is such a great way to get student engagement and make it a productive and enjoyable experience for them.
So the most productive tutor sessions are divided into 3 segments: the first involves myself and the student discussing a topic from the curriculum, usually something they have studied in class recently. Typically I will regularly question the student on that subject matter to check understanding, typically for 25 minutes and that segment of the lesson will typically revolve around the student learning through analysing primary source material. Then the second part of the lesson would see the student answering a question related to that topic taken from an exam paper but I would work with the student leading them towards the optimal answer. Finally the student would then answer a second question but it would be the student leading the discussion explaining how they would answer it. So the lesson is scaffolded as the student gradually does more of the work, such that by the end, they are leading the discussion.

Deadly! Mr. Nick keeps my daughter engaged and interested in her lessons by providing insight and a depth of understanding that goes beyond the basics. He also has a strong grasp of exam technique, which has been invaluable in helping her approach assessments with greater confidence and clarity. He is reliable, punctual, and consistently well-prepared. We truly appreciate his thoughtful and effective teaching style. High recommend Mr Nick. He is what every teacher should be.
- Georgia is a highly capable student who is keen to learn and I'm sure will do very well in her upcoming GCSEs.Nick's response :

Usually once or twice a month I will ask the student to do some homework so I can make sure that clear progress is being made but I don't charge any additional fees for either any post lesson review notes I send over or marking homework. Everything is already included in the price of the lesson.
