Hello! I am a qualified, experienced educator with a genuine passion for sociology. Over the past twelve years of teaching and tutoring sociology across several exam boards, I have developed a strong understanding of what it takes to help you navigate GCSE, IGCSE, and A-Level courses confidently, supporting you to achieve the highest grades. I am also an examiner of A-level sociology - AQA exam board, so I am well placed to know what how to answer exam questions effectively.

My teaching approach is firstly student-centred. I recognize that as a learner, you come with unique strengths, individual goals, and a distinct learning style. I work positively with students who have Special Educational Needs (SEN), ensuring that your lessons are structured, accessible, supportive, and designed to help you succeed. I create collaborative online classes tailored to how you learn best, aiming to work in partnership with you build your sociological confidence and meet and exceed your achievement goals.

A major focus of our work together will be bridging the gap between understanding the material and excelling in the exam. I specialize in teaching and supporting you to develop your essay-writing skills, showing you how to apply your knowledge directly to exam questions.

My twelve years of expertise includes six years of teaching the Cambridge International (CIE) A-Level and IGCSE syllabuses. I am skilled at supporting students to plan and structure exam essays, and the majority of my students last year gained at least two grades above their predicted grades.

I tailor my tuition to the needs of each student, and offer a free trial session, so you can see if I am a good fit for your tutoring needs.
