Tutor

Lindsey .

History Tutor

Hello! I’m Lindsey and I’m a History teacher. I live in East Yorkshire in a historic market town with my partner, children and my dog. I have had a passion for History since the age of 10 when I visited Burton Agnes Hall with school which sparked a fascination with History. Following my A-Levels I gained an undergraduate degree in Education Studies and History from the University of Durham. Following on from that I gained a Masters Degree from the University of Durham in Education Studies and wrote my thesis on the education of Queen Elizabeth I. I then gained a PGCE from the University of Warwick. I have held a number of different roles in my 13 year teaching career as Head of History, Lead Practitioner for Humanities and Whole School Literacy Lead. I have also been an examiner for GCSE and A-Level History. I am passionate about History and spend as much time as possible reading and researching different historical topics. I can’t wait to share my passion and knowledge with you all. In my spare time I love reading (mainly History books) and collecting books, I have approximately 600 books and 95% are History books and range in topics from Ancient to Modern History. I am always happy to make recommendations if people have an interest in a particular topic. Other than reading and collecting books I enjoy watching tennis, baking, jigsaws, puzzles, craft and walking my dog.

My 14year old is like a different child nowadays, wish I had deregistered him years ago in hindsight. Thank you!”

Claire, parent

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for all you do at the Hub. It is such a Godsend for us. Our kids are enjoying their lessons, the live interaction with other kids and the lovely, lovely teachers. Where did you find such wonderful, knowledgeable but incredibly patient people?! It’s such a relief our kids can get a tailor made, good quality, British style education even as we live out this slightly crazy life here in the Mexican jungle! Thank you very much to all involved.”

Carolyn, parent

“Very grateful for all your hard work, and thankful for all your help during these 4 years (can't believe it's been so long) - you don't know and I can't express in words how much pressure you take of our shoulders with this amazing palette of classes that you offer.”

Cristiana, parent

“I've recommended so many people to the hub, you guys have revolutionised home ed for us. Literally. After building up our confidence with using the hub, I've actually been able to take on work based back out in the community while my daughter is at home studying. Thanks for everything you are doing! ”

Tina, parent

“A massive thankyou for all you do at the £2 hub, we have been with you from the start and seen you grow but this is the first time we have done GCSE exams with you, and with great results! Thanks ”

Hub parent

“After a year of mostly science and art, my child has recently started Creative Writing class. From the first lesson I was blown away by the quality of the teaching, the standard of work the children were submitting and the supportive environment of the group. The tutor has a fantastic rapport with her students and it is also so nice (and great for their self-confidence) to see the students give each other great feedback and encouragement.”
