Meet Your Tutor
Dr. Jane Orton has marked A Level History exam papers and has a good understanding of what it takes to get the best grades – but she also believes in bringing history to life by looking at unsolved mysteries, unusual historical anecdotes and heated academic debates! All of Jane’s academic degrees have a strong historical element. Her undergraduate and first Masters’ degrees especially focused on political and international relations history, and the history of political thought. Her second Masters’ looked at Tibetan political history and her PhD was again based on intellectual history (the influence of mathematics on ancient philosophy).
Jane designed and taught courses at the University of Edinburgh when she was completing her PhD, and has university level and A Level exam marking experience. She has tutored students in the main UK exam boards, including AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, Eduquas and SQA.
“Jane is a great tutor that is both passionate and knowledgeable about her subject. Would without a doubt recommend her to anyone that needs a history tutor.”
- Sonia (A Level History)
“Jane helped my daughter prepare for her A level history and her tuition was really important in building her confidence and her skills in answering the questions. Thank you!”
- Elizabeth (A Level History)
Jane says:
“Quite often students are surprised to find how quickly sessions go by and how much material we’ve covered in the time we’ve spent together. We might spend one session focusing on content for a particular topic, followed by another session devoted to essay planning, feedback and what examiners are looking for. Our tutorials will be geared towards what you need to know for your exams, but we won’t lose sight of what makes your topic exciting.”
“It’s likely that you chose your topic as it interested you, and that interest needn’t be sacrificed for the sake of checking off a list of exam board requirements! I’m a huge believer in adventure – I’m also a boxer, I ride a Honda 600cc Hornet and have toured America on Harleys and other cruisers as a musician - and I don’t believe that being a scholar should mean being cut off from the real world or confined to a library. Your A Level studies should be exciting, empowering and part of your own intellectual adventure.”
