I am committed and dedicated to my students and would relish the opportunity to support you or your child to achieve excellence in Sociology.

Availability: I am available after-school and at weekends.

Willing to travel: 8 miles

Experience: In 6 years of teaching and tutoring I have had the privilege of supporting more than 400 A Level students and more than 500 GCSE students to achieve fantastic grades in Sociology, well above the national averages. A very high number of my pupils surpass their target grades which has enabled them to access their first choice of University, Apprenticeships, Sixth-form and career.

At A level I am a specialist in the Education unit, the Beliefs in Society unit and the Theory and Methods unit. I am also highly skilled in teaching the Crime and Deviance and Families and Households units. I can support students at any stage of the course, and I endeavour to guide pupils through until their final examination. If you or your child is studying any other optional units, please contact me as I may also be able to offer tuition for these topics.

As an AQA specialist teacher I have had extensive experience of working alongside an AQA examiner and have attended multiple conferences run by AQA. I have detailed knowledge of the mark schemes and question types in the GCSE and A Level exams and I can support my pupils with developing the skills needed to gain marks in the exam. I use writing frames, essay structure and I pride myself on giving excellent feedback to my pupils to enable them to progress and reach their full potential. I strive to empower my students to improve their grades; whether to overcome underperformance or to reach the highest possible level.
