Examples we work through

WHAT A SESSION LOOKS LIKE

Four snapshots of the Year 11 Modern History drills, and the bit students usually miss until someone walks them through it.

Source analysis

Evaluate the reliability of a primary source about a historical event. Identify perspective, purpose and audience.

How we coach it

Sourcing is a skill, not an opinion. We use the QCAA framework, perspective, motive, intended audience, every single time.

Extended response

Argue whether the actions of one historical figure changed the trajectory of a movement, with evidence from at least three sources.

How we coach it

A real argument has a counter. We build the case, build the rebuttal, then resolve, the structure that earns the higher bands.

Comparative

Compare two interpretations of a contested event. Explain how perspective shapes each historian's argument.

How we coach it

Historiography sounds intimidating, it isn't. We frame it as 'who is telling the story, and what do they want you to believe?'

Exam writing

Plan and write a 600-word source-based argument in 70 minutes under exam conditions.

How we coach it

Practising under the clock until the structure (intro, three argument paragraphs, integrated evidence, sharp conclusion) becomes automatic.

The Pythora approach

HOW WE LIFT YEAR 11

Find the gaps

Diagnostic in session one, exactly which Year 11 topics are shaky.

Build, then stretch

Lock in fundamentals, then push into the IA-level questions.

Exam-ready

Past papers + timing so the external feels familiar, not scary.

Outcomes

WHAT YEAR 11 WALKS AWAY WITH

  • Essays that argue with conviction
  • Real understanding of historical reasoning
  • Confidence working with primary sources
Real Pythora families

Amrita used to leave Modern History till the night before and panic. Now she chips away at it through the week, and the stress is honestly gone.

Wasn't sure online would click for Frankie, but he logs on himself now and actually likes his tutor. Didn't expect that.

The recap after each lesson means I know how Aarav's really tracking in Modern History, not just "yeah, it's fine".

Mia asked to book an extra session before her Modern History test. She never used to care, so that threw me a bit.
