Sofia

I am a recent Political Economy graduate of King’s College London, offering online tutoring in GCSE and A-level Economics, and in pre-university Politics (see below). Having studied large parts of my university degree online, I understand how to get the best out of online learning and ensure lessons are engaging.

I feel academic success is largely about two things: practice and confidence. The more practice you do, the more confident you become, and the more confident you are the more you’ll be able to achieve. I focus on increasing a student’s confidence in their own abilities and identifying how they can play to their strengths even in their ‘weaker’ areas.

Though I studied politics at university, I did not take it for A-level, as is the case for many who then go on to pursue it at degree level. As such it can be daunting to go straight into a politics degree. I am open to developing sessions where we discuss topics often covered at university at an introductory level to help students feel more confident entering into university. These will centre around basic research skills and discussion-based sessions to practice both the practical skills you will use at university and how to develop your academic ideas.

My previous teaching experience includes preparing fellow peers for school entrance exams and teaching music performance. I am always patient and adaptable in lessons, aiming to push tutee’s to the best of their abilities and to reach their personal goals whilst instilling academic self-confidence.

Please feel free to get in touch with any queries! I am very open to discuss your goals and how you would like to approach tutoring sessions so you, the student, can get the most out of your learning.

Availability: I can be flexible.
