Workbook for OCR Entry Level History R435 students. It has all the content information and tasks with space to complete inside the booklet. I have used this for some students in a class studying the Edexcel GCSE 9-1 syllabus where the content is the same but the task is differentiated to what will come up on the OCR Entry Level exam.
Condensed notes for the American Revolution topic of AQA and OCR exam boards.
Includes everything up to the last section of the specification on Washington and Adams as Presidents.
I use these as a private tutor, myself and other students have used these to get an A*. I first made the notes studying the A-Level myself, but since tutoring I have added notes to it from several sources, whilst still keeping condensed.
If you have found them useful, please leave a review :)
I have set it at this price as it has taken me a long time to make them, and my students have to pay for lessons with me to access them.

Four chapters of Germany revision based on the OCR specification for A-Level students studying OCR History from 1919-1963.
These chapters include helpful revision notes that are summary based and simplified for students to skim through and to help with their note taking.
If students are unable to meet with the specification; this cluster of revision notes is very helpful as it is designed under sections of events concerning the specification as well as the colour coordination of red and green to understand the strengths/weaknesses as well as pros/cons.
It is ideal, simple and easily able to comprehend just by simplify reading these resources I have put together as an A-Level history student myself.
I truly believe that this would be very beneficial for students studying this specification as well as for students studying their GCSE as these revision notes also include a similiar specification for GCSE students studying Hitler and Germany before and under Hitler’s power.
Helpful for teachers and students.
