About Patrick
I am passionate about teaching history and have spent the last ten years studying for a BA, MPhil, and PhD. The latter two degrees I completed at Cambridge; an amazing and exciting environment where I developed my skills as a historian and teacher. I hope to inspire my students with the same enthusiasm for the past as I have! My specialism is the Middle Ages: a period often thought of as dark, dingy, and so remote that we struggle to connect with its historical actors. The Middle Ages are, in fact, a period of immense importance in political, religious, and social history teeming with vibrant personalities from monkish scholars to crusading kings. Any students wishing to study this period in particular would benefit from working with me, and I much look forward to hearing your thoughts and arguments! My interests are not limited to this period but range over all of history. I particularly enjoy the 'nuts and bolts' of arguing and writing, and can promise that if you struggle with essay writing I will work tirelessly with you to get it right! Putting forward your own original ideas, and finding your voice, is the most rewarding aspect of working on history, and I promise to help you find yours!

My lessons typically range from 1-2 hours in length, depending on the type of work undertaken. Before taking on a tutee I first spend an initial session identifying where they themselves are seeking to improve in their history. This would include discussing their future aspirations should they want to pursue history at undergraduate level or in an 'extracurricular' capacity in conjunction with their A-Levels. I can offer to teach A-Level courses, undertake revision lessons to consolidate a student's grasp of a particular historical course they are learning at school, and also create 'study skills' lessons for exam preparation, argumentation, and essay-writing. Some find particular concepts in their history courses difficult to grapple with, whilst others find organising their thoughts and constructing arguments that will gain the highest grades more difficult. I can help in all areas. My postgraduate qualifications also make me uniquely placed to offer higher level tutoring for aspiring students, preparing them for the types of history they will encounter at undergraduate level. I taught undergraduate students at Cambridge, and well know the expectations of the history course there and the 'supervision' style of teaching: a format I could replicate in tutorial sessions.
Recommendations

I have worked with Patrick for a year in close collaboration and have observed his good judgement, academic precision, keen sense of how to convey the nuances of complex scholarship, and clear instinct for what kind of help a student needs. He is dedicated to his work and conscientiously tries his utmost to make a genuine difference to his students. His understanding and appreciation of the finer points of medieval European history is also impressive. I would recommend Patrick wholeheartedly to any student seeking personalised, impeccably well-informed, close and detailed guidance in scholarly research or writing.
