Previously offered AS Philosophy of Religion tuition to Philosophy and Religious Studies students. Tuition made extensive use of pdf handouts from A level philosophy text books adapted to students` requirements.

Awarded a distinction for a master`s in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics in Education at Heythrop College, University of London.

Tuition for one student`s AS exam was highly rated by the client, who credited me with helping her daughter achieve a B grade after failing her mocks. The student and I developed an eight week study plan that set a realistic strategy for addressing gaps in her knowledge in time for the exam. This involved tailoring resources, mainly handouts, to meet the student`s needs on various topics. Sessions included guidance on how to write top level exam answers in line with assessment criteria for the specification.

Resources for deeper learning include a large quantity of academic articles in PDF format on Philosophy and Religious Studies topics, collected during and since my master`s.
