Patrick Hickey

Patrick Hickey has spent almost 30 years teaching Leaving Certificate History, and knows the marking scheme inside out. You will not just be told what a H1 answer looks like. You will watch answers being marked in front of you, against the marking scheme, so you can see how the marks are actually awarded by an SEC Examiner. Most students learn the history. Far fewer learn how it is marked. This course gives you both.

Known online as @lchistorytutor, he has a strong following among students and teachers alike. 

Patrick is renowned for his clear, accessible notes, engaging presentations, and deep knowledge of the marking scheme, helping students focus on what truly matters for exam success.
