Anna

With over 20 years teaching students across the secondary age range, Anna has many years successful experience teaching IB, A-Level, GCSE and IGCSE History, Economics and TOK both within the U.K. and overseas. Her schools range from state schools in London, Birmingham and Suffolk, to independent international schools in Germany. The main subject areas taught, particularly at GCSE and above are modern world history; including but not exclusive to Germany, Cold War, World War One and The Inter War Years and 20th Century Domestic USA, China and Japan.

In addition to her full-time teaching, Anna has privately tutored many students. She has developed a tutoring style based on open dialogue and relevance to create flexible individualized learning programmes using a range of learning techniques to suit the tutee. Regular constructive feedback from and to the tutee is essential to create a comfortable, honest and realistic learning environment.

Anna has just moved back from Taiwan to the UK with her family, where she remains a private tutor and Teacher coach. She continues to be an IB History Examiner and IA moderator, as well as an Edexcel History GCSE Examiner, providing useful and applicable examination techniques to pass on to her own students.

Until recently she was living in Taiwan and previously in Bremen, Germany from 2012 - 2021, teaching History up to IB, TOK, and Economics at IGCSE. Until summer 2016 she was the International Middle Years Curriculum Co-ordinator, a role she thoroughly enjoyed due to its holistic nature in supporting the social, emotional and academic progress of young people through project learning and presentations. Further to this, she is an IB History Examiner and IA moderator, as well as an Edexcel History GCSE Examiner, providing useful and applicable examination techniques to pass on to her own students.

As a mother of three, quality time with family is central to Anna, however this is often combined with charitable work, most recently with supporting local refugees and those in Calais and supervising the Duke of Edinburgh Award. She leads an active life including being a kayaking instructor, as well camping road trips, with the additional historical visits included.
