Knowledgable & Engaging History Tutor
We were looking for a history teacher for our 15 year old Nico who had received failing grades in his GSCE mock history exam despite being top of his class in history last year.
We quickly found several good history teacher suggestions on the Spire website. They responded quickly and we interviewed two who we really liked. We were therefore spoilt for choice, but went with Nick.
Nick is able to engage Nico and make history interesting again. He uses a combination of learning through a conversation; visual learning by asking Nico to comment on photos; war posters; and sets some homework and practice questions so that he learns exam technique.
Nick has an excellent vocabulary and tells Nico words he should remember to use in his written responses instead of the usual simplistic wording.
Finally, Nick has outstanding knowledge and has written several published GSCE history study aids. I'm a history buff and have enjoyed learning some new things too!
We look forward to continuing to work with Nick.
In terms of improvement, Spires could make the experience for Apple users (MacBook; iPad; Iphone) easier. There are often connection issues and lessons can't be replayed on an Iphone or Safari but only on the Google ecosystem.
