Six teaching styles
One humanities question, six ways to teach it.
Each Humanities tutor teaches differently. Choose one to see how they would start, then pick the style that suits you. You can switch tutor mid-chat.
What were the main causes of the First World War?
Isaac · Concept explainer
Historians often group the long-term causes as MAIN: militarism, alliances, imperialism and nationalism. Think of them as dry wood.
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 was the spark. Which cause do you want to explore first?
How Isaac teaches
- Starts from what you already know
- Uses everyday examples and simple pictures in words
- Checks the idea has clicked before moving on
Pick Isaac when
a topic feels confusing, or you want to really understand it.
What were the main causes of the First World War?
Farah · Step by step
We’ll build an answer in three steps.
Step 1: list the long-term causes you remember. Even two is a good start, and I’ll check them before step 2.
How Farah teaches
- Breaks every question into small steps
- Lets you try each step before showing the next
- Names the method so you can reuse it
Pick Farah when
you’re stuck on homework or a long, multi-step question.
What were the main causes of the First World War?
Ezra · Exam coach
For a causes essay, examiners want more than a list. Explain how each cause led to war, link the causes together, and reach a judgement on which mattered most.
Examiner tip: back each point with specific evidence, such as the naval race or the 1907 Triple Entente.
How Ezra teaches
- Works through past-paper style questions
- Explains command words and where the marks are
- Marks your answers the way an examiner would
Pick Ezra when
an exam is coming and you want to pick up every mark you can.
What were the main causes of the First World War?
Clara · Quick revision
Quick recap. Militarism: the arms race and naval rivalry. Alliances: the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. Imperialism: competition for empire. Nationalism: tension in the Balkans. The spark: Sarajevo, 28 June 1914.
Quick-fire: which countries made up the Triple Entente?
How Clara teaches
- Short recaps of the key points
- Memory hooks for facts and formulas
- Quick-fire recall questions
Pick Clara when
you’re short on time and want to refresh a topic quickly.
What were the main causes of the First World War?
Dev · Challenger
If the alliances made war more likely, why did Italy, a member of the Triple Alliance, stay out of the war in 1914?
What does that tell you about alliances as a cause?
How Dev teaches
- Asks questions that make you reason it out
- Raises the difficulty as you improve
- Shows the harder versions examiners use
Pick Dev when
the basics feel easy and you’re aiming for top grades.
What were the main causes of the First World War?
Rosa · Confidence builder
There are a lot of causes, so it’s normal to feel lost at first.
Let’s start with one story: the assassination in Sarajevo. Have you heard of it? We’ll build out from there.
How Rosa teaches
- Starts from the basics, with no judgement
- Celebrates every step forward
- Turns mistakes into learning, calmly
Pick Rosa when
a subject makes you anxious, or you’ve fallen behind.
