Right, ideally I want to do your preliminary interviews vocally, aka via skype. I'm OK with doing them instant message style on skype or MSN if that's necessary.
I'd also like you to tell me what you consider to be the historical topics you have the best background knowledge of, in terms of factual information. If you're of school age, a rough overview of what you've studied in the past year would also be a good idea.
Thanks!
