Laurence

I currently work for the BBC`s political research unit in the heart of Westminster briefing correspondents on all the goings on in Parliament and writing research documents for them to use on air. I also regularly write political stories for the BBC website and work on the Andrew Marr Show.

I graduated from Leeds University in 2015 with a 2:1 in Politics, specialising in British and American politics and completing modules in philosophy - all key components of the course.

Disenchanted with school, I failed my A-Levels first time around. However, a passion for politics led me to re-take and cram both AS and A2 studies into just 8 months - eventually managing to achieve an A.

Availability: Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have spoken at schools on behalf of the BBC on dealing with political apathy in young people and am a careers mentor for students at my old university.
