Ella Sheddick - History, University of Cambridge

Hi, I’m Ella! I’m currently stuyding for an MPhil in the History of Medicine at Jesus College Cambridge, after completing my History undergraduate at Queen’s College Cambridge, Prior to university, I attended St Paul’s Girls’ school where I studied English (A*), History (A*) and Philosophy (A*) at A level. 

I’ve been tutoring at various different levels since I was fifteen. I started in-person tutoring for students undertaking 11+ and 7+ exams and moved, during Covid, to tutoring GCSE and A Level students online. I think it is particularly important to have a clear understanding of what students want to get out of lessons so that they can be a rewarding and academically enriching experience! I have also mentored and advised university students on exam preparation, and supported prospective Cambridge students with interview and aptitude test preparation.

I am passionate about promoting my love of History: I currently devote much of my time to organising my college’s history society! I am also a reluctant rower and student journalist.
