I have been teaching A Level`s to 16-18 year olds in a Further Education College for over 23 years. I have a Sociology degree from Nottingham University and after completing a PGCE (FE) at Cardiff University, I have worked mainly as a Lecturer in Sociology. Over time I have diversified into teaching A Level Religious Studies and A Level Philosophy, and I am now Head of Religious Studies and Philosophy and manage and teach all the units. I have been an examiner for AQA A Level Sociology, AQA A Level Philosophy and WJEC A Level Religious Studies. I have also taught and marked the AQA Extended Project Qualification. I have also trained at Theological College as a Minister of Religion and have been ordained and worked as a Christian minister, and find this gives greater depth and insight when teaching Christianity as a world religion (Component 1) in WJEC A Level Religious Studies and the Metaphysics of God in AQA A Level Philosophy.
