Tutoring Approach

I am a supportive, experienced educator who is passionate about the subject of sociology. I am highly knowledgeable and confident about teaching A-level and GCSE sociology and skilled in supporting students to achieve the highest grades. One of my strengths is my positive approach and I will help you to realise your own strengths and work with you to develop your weaker areas by setting targets which we will work on and review together. A sociology tutoring lesson will typically start with a discussion of what you know about a topic, move on to reviewing some content that we will agree on together, and end with planning a response to an essay question on that topic.
