About Madeleine

I'm a PhD candidate in History at the University of Cambridge, specialising in Modern European History but with extensive historical knowledge across a range of other periods and regions. With nearly ten years of tutoring experience, I’ve worked with students from GCSE and A-Level through to undergraduate and postgraduate levels, helping them develop strong analytical skills, academic confidence, and a deep appreciation for the discipline. My approach is rigorous yet supportive: I aim to challenge students intellectually while giving them the tools they need to succeed—whether that's mastering source analysis, refining essay technique, or preparing for exams and university admissions. Alongside my doctoral research, I’ve taught undergraduates at Cambridge and participated in outreach programmes designed to make top-level history teaching accessible to all. I’m passionate about making history engaging, relevant, and empowering for learners of all backgrounds.

As a current PhD candidate in History at the University of Cambridge with nearly a decade of tutoring experience, I approach teaching with a balance of academic rigour and personalised guidance. I believe that the best learning happens when students feel both challenged and supported, so I work to create a space where critical thinking, curiosity, and confidence can thrive.

My teaching methodology is rooted in the Socratic approach: encouraging students to ask questions, engage in dialogue, and develop their own interpretations rather than simply absorbing information. I place a strong emphasis on close reading, source analysis, and argument construction—skills that are essential not only for success in history, but in the humanities more broadly. Lessons typically involve a mix of discussion, targeted feedback on written work, and structured exploration of core topics. I tailor each session to the individual needs of the student, identifying gaps in understanding and building on existing strengths. For exam preparation, I focus on helping students break down mark schemes, structure essays effectively, and manage time under pressure.

A typical lesson runs for 60 minutes, though I offer longer sessions for more advanced students or those preparing for major assessments (such as A-Levels, university entrance exams, or dissertations). Each session is focused and goal-oriented, with time for review and reflection at the end to consolidate learning and plan next steps.

I hold a First-Class undergraduate degree and a Distinction at Master’s level, both in History, and am now completing my doctoral research at Cambridge. Over the past ten years, I’ve tutored students at secondary school, undergraduate, and even postgraduate level, both privately and through university outreach and access programmes. I’ve also worked as a supervisor at Cambridge, leading small-group tutorials, and have experience marking and assessing academic work.

I work with students at all ages - from younger learners wanting to expand their historical knowledge to retirees wanting to use their newly acquired spare time to deepen their understanding of a subject they love! I have taught younger students, mature learners, GCSE and A Level students, students applying for university, and undergraduate and postgraduate students. Whether you're looking to build foundational skills, refine exam technique, or pursue advanced academic work, I tailor lessons to suit your goals and stage of study. Ultimately, my aim is not just to help students succeed in their current courses, but to equip them with the analytical tools and intellectual confidence to thrive in any academic environment.
