I found that you could do really well in History at school if you approached essay writing and answering questions in a tactical way, so I think I'd be able to help students understand what is required of them.

History was my favourite subject in high school. It is important to be able to understand history as it can become a lot of work and the last thing you want is to fall behind. I also have one year of University level history studying under my belt.
