Profile
Mark
History, English, Maths, 11+ and 13+
A Double First Cambridge Historian with a perfect 45 in the IB, Mark has tutored for nearly a decade and focuses on changing how students learn, not just what they learn.
Mark achieved 45 points in the IB and 14 A*s at GCSE at King’s College School, Wimbledon, before graduating with a Double First in History from the University of Cambridge.
Mark has tutored for nearly a decade, across 11+ entrance, 13+ Common Entrance and Scholarship, GCSE Maths and Oxbridge interview practice. He has also taught at a school in New Zealand serving pupils from lower-income backgrounds, and on Lanterna IB revision courses, where many students had English as a second language or significant gaps in the syllabus. He teaches English, Maths and History up to GCSE and History to undergraduate level.
Mark tailors each session to the student’s personality and learning methods. Alongside strong subject knowledge, he focuses on technique: writing essays that meet every point in the mark scheme, and structuring revision notes to match how students will recall information in the exam. He sees this as where he adds the most value.
