History comes alive in my lessons! I teach students from primary school up through college helping them to understand historical events, to fine tune their research, and to edit their papers or study for exams. So let's get started!
I've given private lessons for the past seven years to over 30 students. They improved greatly both in their study habits and in their writing allowing them to advance in their schools and work place. I also worked to edit history papers of university professors which were later published. I have lots of theory and practical experience!

Perfect! Lemima is an excellent tutor and explains material very well. She is patient, well-organised and motivated. Her warm and friendly attitude makes lessons very enjoyable and I would definitely recommend her as a tutor.
Thank you so much Anna! It was a pleasure to work with you and I wish you all the best in your future studies!
She is knowledgeable, dependable, and committed. Her proofreading was always thorough and accurate. Whatever the paper might be about, she always suggested how it might be better. Listening to her always made them 100% better.
