Politics and Sociology A-level and GCSE tutoring online/in person

From 36 £ /h

Politics and Sociology are two of my biggest passions, starting from A-level and continuing through my degree focusing on these two areas. By doing these two as my degree I have been able to build on the skills needed in order to understand how these different systems work, and now am able to specialise in both politics and sociology both for university pupils and A-Level pupils. My main goal is to ensure that students are challenged and engaged throughout the full-time, while being able to adapt lessons in order to benefit the pupil rather than just generic ones that do not help the individual. I will conduct mini-assessments and this will allow me to see where more work is needed with plenty of time before exams.
