Many disciplines, one human story.

I read History at university and kept trespassing into geography, politics and literature because the interesting questions never respected the boundaries between them. That trespassing became my teaching: I hold a PGT brief across the humanities and treat it as a feature, not a compromise, because the subjects genuinely explain one another.

Fifteen years in, my students consistently top the board in the social sciences, but the result I value is the argument. They leave able to read a source critically, hold a position, and write it down with structure and voice — skills that outlast every syllabus. Over fifty have gone on to read history, law, political science and literature at university.

If your school wants a humanities teacher who can take any of the social sciences to the top of the board, connect them into one coherent enquiry, and teach students to actually think — my record and references are ready. Give me the class that finds these subjects boring; the boredom is a teaching problem, and I enjoy solving it.
