HISTORY

Asked by Liam

What is a proxy war and give two examples of them during the cold war?

Proxy wars are those wars in which two countries fight one another, but there are other parties indirectly involved in the conflict perhaps by providing weapons, military advice or finance to one side. In the Cold War period, the USA and USSR did not directly fight one another but in Korea and Vietnam there were proxy wars where the two countries supported opposing sides in the conflicts. In Korea, the North was backed by the Communist countries - the USSR and China - while the south was supported by the USA.

Savvy tutor who is ready to teach!

I am currently a private tutor for a number of students. My handle on big Instagram and Facebook is ‘Study With Saff’ if you are interested 😊 I am an A level student who would like to start tutoring younger years to help them excel in their studies. My teaching style consists of making revision tools, helping provoke the students to come up with their own, unique ideas, helping them to structure and complete exam questions and many more activities. In my GCSE’s I scored an 8, two 7’s, three 6’s and three 5’s and in my first set of AS mocks I received an ABCC. My predicted grades for my final year before university are an A*ABB and I wish to study Law. Not only in the likes of my A-levels have I had experience, but I have had experience outside of my studies in a number of different firms in the law sector, including the CPS, Enoch Evans LLP and Browne Jacobson LLP.

Oxford grad student and highly resourceful tutor with 12 years of experience.

I’m a sought-after tutor with twelve years of teaching and tutoring experience in Canada, the United Kingdom, Jamaica, Czech Republic, Bahrain, and Ghana. I taught at a private school in Bahrain for six years, and for four of those years I was an IBDP Literature/IBDP Language and Literature teacher whose students not only achieved some of the best results in the school, but achieved results that often exceeded IB world averages. With my experience as an IB teacher, tutor, and examiner, I’m highly attuned to the requirements and expectations of the IB programme; I have a well-rounded understanding from the vantage points of teacher and assessor. I’m in possession of excellent IB materials, resources, and exemplars. Many students have earned 6s and 7s under my tutelage. I can transfer this knowledge and expertise to A-level and GCSE tutoring as well. I’m familiar with 11+ entrance exams and have extensive experience preparing students of all ages for different standardised tests. I instil lifelong study skills in my students. As a certified SAT Associate Supervisor who has administered and invigilated over ten sessions, I have expert knowledge on SAT preparedness, content, time management, and essay writing. I've helped numerous students with their UCAS applications, university interview preparation, and personal statements. For those who are English language learners, I have considerable experience teaching English as a second/foreign language. I’ve prepared students for the IELTS and I’ve helped numerous students in Canada and Czech Republic (of varying levels of English proficiency) with conversational English, grammar instruction, and speaking/listening/writing/reading activities. I’m committed to my pupils’ academic excellence by encouraging their intellectual curiosity. My teaching style fosters independent inquiry, and I pride myself on my passionate, engaging, student-led lessons that empower pupils to take ownership of their learning. I encourage my students to analyse and think critically, and my ultimate goal is to provide students with the analytical tools to continue their studies independently with confidence and conviction.
