I have worked as a history teacher since 2015 in both the UK and abroad. I have used that experience to make the best resources possible for myself and others in this profession. I take care to make it clear what students need to do but also those who are unfamiliar with the content they are delivering.
I am uploading multiple individual lessons and bundle's for KS3 as well as course specific content relevant to Cambridge and Edexcel GCSE and AS/A-Level history. Please do leave me a review.
