Michael

I have a Political Science degree from the University of Birmingham as well as a Masters Degree in Law. Prior to this, I studied for the Government and Politics A Level and achieved an A grade after studying at King Edward VI Five Ways school. I currently work in Parliament and so am able to bring my experience of the front line of politics to all lessons, making the content and theory relatable to my students.

I am passionate about this subject and keenly follow developments both on a domestic and foreign level.

Tutoring Experience

Having tutored this subject over the last five years, I have significant experience to help my students and achieve the top grades, a good understanding of the key demands of the A-Level syllabus and am able to use this to my student’s full advantage. Separately, I also have considerable political experience working with a number of different organisations and have mentored in different subjects, helping others to progress.

Tutoring Approach

My students will be tutored in both content knowledge and exam technique as these skills are essential to ensure that they have the correct exam technique and so are able to reach their potential in this engaging and fast-moving subject. The key to success is a combination of solid content knowledge and well developed essay writing skills. I therefore strongly focus on the use of mark schemes and examiner's reports.

I am able to tailor lessons to address areas of the course which my pupils are struggling with.
Such individual attention will greatly benefit them come exam time.
