Joseph

I am an experienced and well-qualified tutor of Sociology, Religious Studies, Business Studies, Management, Theology, Health and Social Care, Study Skills, Essay Writing Skills, Critical Thinking and Research Skills. I also offer a professional Proofreading service for university students.

In addition to my teaching and other qualifications such as Business Studies and PGCE, I have a Masters degree in Humanities (Sheffield University) as well as a Masters degree in Research (University of Wales, Bangor).

I offer online lessons through Skype or Zoom, whichever the student prefers.

I am very enthusiastic about teaching and ensuring all my students succeed, no matter their ability. I have taught for over 20 years (fully DBS/CRB checked). I have been teaching and tutoring from GCSE, AS, A2 up to postgraduate degree level. I have discovered that students at all levels tend to need help with study skills and essay writing skills, so I normally include this in any post-GCSE tutoring I do. Degree students have benefited from my proofreading services, which has always enhanced their grades, and this applies to any subject.

Experience: I started teaching in 1991 and tutoring in 1998. Since then I have taught many students from different backgrounds with different abilities. I have tutored at different levels from GCSE up to postgraduate degree level, for various examination boards including AQA, EDEXEL, OCR, WJEC/EDUQAS and IGCSE. I always ensure that I give my best to my students and enable them to achieve their academic goals. I aim to continue to do so for a long time.

Subjects I have taught include Sociology, Religious Studies, Psychology, Health and Social Care, Business Studies, Law, Theology, Study Skills, Essay Writing Skills, Critical Thinking and Research Skills. I also offer a professional Proofreading service for university students.

I believe each student is unique and as a tutor I respect that uniqueness. I apply a student centred approach. My first step towards a new student would be to understand his or her specific needs in order to tailor prepare the tutoring to overcome those specific needs. Sometimes it is help with knowledge revision, at other times it has to do with learning skills, for some it is gaining familiarity with the subject and its concepts, while for others it might simply be an issue of low self-confidence with a new subject. I utilise different styles and strategies, depending on the student`s learning needs and ability.
