KS3 History Tutor

Hello! My name is Gordon and I teach Key Stage 3 History (year 7-9) here in the hub. I have been a qualified teacher for 12 years teaching History, RE and bit of Geography. I also spent a number of years working on the pastoral side of things, so you can have piece of mind that I am also a qualified safeguarding officer. I have 3 children who are all home educated, so understand the importance of lessons being educational and informative, but also fun and creative. Can’t wait to meet you all. Gordon

“I can’t thank you enough for starting this group Amy. You gave me back my happy (not so little anymore) boy. Thanks to this group he’s realised he’s not the stupid, naughty kid that school made him believe he was. His sister is on school holidays and he’s doing recorded lessons by choice. Xxxx ”

“this group is without doubt an absolute blessing. Fantastic classes with amazing teachers at an extremely reasonable price. I for one am so thankful to you and your team for everything you all do. We appreciate the hub so much and are very grateful xx ”

Claire, Parent

“Our family are full time travellers and the hub is a life line for us. The children get to see and speak to adults who show a real interest in their learning and their lives. They get to pick lessons that they are interested in and have fun learning something new. The social hub was a real life line for us too. My 3 have made friends and love getting to chat to children and adults daily too. ”
