About Jacob
I'm a First-Class Honours graduate in BA History and International Relations at Swansea University. I also lived in Hong Kong as an exchange student for one year.
My first teaching role was in Leipzig, Germany. I taught English language to refugees (adults and children) in 1-to-1 lessons and in a classroom setting. I absolutely loved it and inspired my interest in helping students the best way I can!
I'm currently Head of Editorial for an online political platform. This role involves reviewing articles and policy proposals from students and emerging writers. My personal passion is journalism and I write extensively for the platform. My interests include politics and history in Asia, and the Belt-and-Road Initiative (BRI).
Specifications and Areas:
- A-Level & AS-Level (AQA & Edexcel)
- GCSE & iGCSE (AQA, Edexcel & CIE)
- EPQ Assistant (Reports, Artefacts, Multimedia).
- Adult Learning (Personalised modules based on your interests)
I am DBS-cleared and I also have safeguard training from previous customer-based roles (particularly Lifeguarding).
I believe history is an important subject and I aim to deliver it in the most engaging way possible. I am dedicated to building an enjoyable learning environment that strengthens students writing and organisation skills. My experience in research, editing, and writing in an academic and professional manner will provide the necessary tools for anyone who wishes to explore world history.

I have taught a number of different exam boards:
- A-Level & AS-Level (AQA and Edexcel).
- GCSE & iGCSE (AQA, Edexcel, and CIE).
I'm passionate about unveiling world history and presenting it to my students in an engaging and simplified way.
My teaching involves structured, personalised lessons at a pace that makes students feel confident. I have a supportive and holistic approach, in which I want students to learn how to think outside the box and always challenging themselves. I also have compassion for students who need extra help in reaching top grades (8/9 & A/A*).
Lessons I specialise and areas covered:
- Essay writing, structure, and technique.
- Primary source analysis.
- Memory work (dates, data, themes, historical figures).
- Practice papers (assessing strengths & weaknesses).
- Short lectures.
Although I'm a tutor, I was also a student - GCSE, A-Level, and university - and I hope to give as much wisdom as I can about how to tackle the most important exams in your life.
