Using real-life case studies and analytical tools, students will gain an understanding of criminological perspectives and their application in addressing current criminal justice issues.

About Me

Hi there! I’m Laiba, currently studying Criminal Justice Policy at the London School of Economics. My background is in Sociology, with both an undergraduate and a master’s degree in the field. I’ve always been fascinated by how society shapes us, why people act the way they do, and the impact of social issues on communities. This curiosity has driven me to dive into criminology and social policy, and I love sharing that knowledge in ways that make learning enjoyable and meaningful.

As a tutor, I’m here to make complex ideas feel approachable. I know from experience that everyone learns differently, so I’m all about adapting to what works best for you—whether it’s breaking down tricky concepts, helping with assignments, or prepping for exams. I focus on creating a relaxed, supportive environment where you can ask questions freely and build confidence in your skills.

If you’re looking for someone who’s patient, understanding, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, I’d love to work with you. Don’t hesitate to reach out; I’m here to help you make the most of your learning journey!
