Mr Salles but for other subjects? (GCSE revision)

Hi, DS is in year 11 revising for GCSEs at the moment, and has found Mr Salles YouTube videos really useful for English - can anyone recommend any equivalents for other subjects?
I would be interested in hearing all recommendations, though my son is particularly struggling with History (AQA, Medicine and Elizabethan) and Religious Studies (AQA).
TIA!

We found primrose kitten for history and mr cloke. My son currently watching an hour a day of a 4 hour primrose kitten video which covers the entire medicine in Britain course. Practice questions essential for history as half the paper is marked on how you bring your knowledge together to answer the question.

For history Primrose Kitten is okay for a broad overview but honestly she doesn't go deep enough for AQA Medicine and Elizabethan, the content can feel a bit surface level and the exam technique side isn't really there. worth using as a starting point but definitely not enough on its own

Mr Cloke is a much better shout for history far more thorough, actually walks through the specific content in proper depth and importantly explains how to structure answers for the different question types.

For dedicated revision resources and practice papers, Kingsbridge Education is really worth checking out it's put together by experienced history teachers so the content and exam focus is genuinely solid. they have a good range of practice papers specifically for AQA history which is exactly what he needs at this stage, past paper practice with proper mark scheme awareness is honestly the biggest thing separating grades in history

The AQA examiner reports are also underrated and free to download from the AQA website they tell you exactly what distinguishes the grade boundaries which is really useful for both history and RS

Hope that helps!
