The Family: Functions,
From 22 £ /h
This Sociology class focuses on the topic “The Family”, one of the core areas in Sociology that helps students understand how family structures, roles, and relationships shape society. Students will learn how families are defined, how they function, and how they have changed over time in modern societies.
The lesson covers key sociological perspectives including Functionalism, Marxism, Feminism, and Postmodernism, enabling students to critically evaluate the role of the family in both traditional and contemporary contexts. It also explores different family types such as nuclear, extended, single-parent, reconstituted, and same-sex families, with real-life examples to support understanding.
This class is designed for students preparing for major international Sociology examinations, including:
AQA GCSE Sociology (8192) – Paper 2: The Sociology of Families
AQA A-Level Sociology (7192) – Paper 2: Topics in Sociology (Families and Households)
OCR GCSE Sociology (J203) – Socialization, Culture and Identity (Family content included)
OCR A-Level Sociology (H580) – Paper 2: Sociological Themes (Families and Households section)
Cambridge IGCSE Sociology (0495) – Paper 1 (Theory & Methods) and Paper 2 (Social Structures, including Family)
Students will practice exam-style questions, learn how to structure high-scoring answers, and develop evaluation skills required for marks in short-answer and essay-based papers.
By the end of the class, students will be able to confidently explain, apply, and evaluate sociological theories of the family and perform effectively in exam questions across different exam boards.

Extra information
This class is exam-focused, meaning every topic is directly linked to questions that appear in real Sociology exams (GCSE, IGCSE, and A-Level).
You will be expected to learn key sociologists and use them in answers, such as Murdock, Parsons, Engels, Oakley, and Stacey.
A strong answer is not just description—you must also evaluate different viewpoints (e.g., strengths and weaknesses of Functionalism, Feminism, etc.).
You should practice using the PEEL structure (Point, Explain, Evidence, Link) for long-answer questions.
Exam questions may include scenario-based application, so you will learn how to apply theories to real-life family examples.
Regular practice of timed essay writing is important for improving exam performance.
You will receive past-paper style questions and model answers to help you understand how marks are awarded.
Key exam boards and paper codes covered in this course:
AQA GCSE Sociology (8192) – Paper 2
AQA A-Level Sociology (7192) – Paper 2
OCR GCSE Sociology (J203)
OCR A-Level Sociology (H580) – Paper 2
Cambridge IGCSE Sociology (0495) – Papers 1 & 2
Students are encouraged to take notes in structured headings (definitions, theories, evaluation, examples) for easier revision.
This topic is highly likely to appear in exams, so consistent revision of key concepts is essential for achieving higher grades.
