Client Reviews
★★★★★ "My daughter was anxious about her History A-Level; Sol gave her the confidence she needed. His style really engaged her — knowledge, essay planning, exam technique, learning timelines — and she sat her exams with confidence. As a parent I appreciated his regular feedback and flexibility."
— Parent (Manchester).
★★★★★ "Very knowledgeable and a lovely tutor who helped expand my understanding of History, as well as exam technique for A-Level."
— Student, (Peterborough)
★★★★★ "Sol was a fantastic tutor for my son — friendly, approachable and flexible around our shifting timetable. His help with essay planning, exam technique and revision structure was invaluable, and the techniques carried across to his other subjects too. He taught my son how to revise in a way that really clicked. We'd happily recommend him."
— Parent (Laxey)
My first question to every student is always the same: how can I help? From there I'll ask about their grade, their exam board, their topics. Nine times out of ten, the issue comes down to essays; not because they don't know the content, but because they can't translate what they know into marks on the page. That's the gap Lectiva is built around.
I'm Sol. I achieved an A* in History at both GCSE and A-Level and graduated from the University of Liverpool with a First Class degree in History. I teach History and Politics at GCSE and A-Level and I understand exactly what the mark schemes are actually looking for.
