I am a very experienced teacher of A level Politics and I have been a senior examiner for the most popular exam board for nearly twenty years. I have also recently examined for AQA Politics.
I currently teach UK and American politics (comparative), at a successful secondary school in Surrey. I also deliver the Extended Project Qualification at my school.
This current academic year, I have supported students who are studying Pearson 3A, (US Politics) 3B, (Global Politics), and AQA Politics. Two of my students (one studying Pearson and one studying AQA), received a significantly improved grade for their Politics mock, in the summer term, 2024.
I have taught and examined A level Politics for over two decades. I have an excellent understanding of the best learning, revision and exam techniques to help students succeed, at both AS and A level Politics. In June 2024, I was an examiner for AQA Component 2 (7152/2), on US and comparative politics.
I can and do support students who are studying for both examination boards, (see above), but I am particularly experienced with Pearson/ Edexcel - I was a Principal Examiner for over five years, and I wrote live 9PL02 exam papers.
You can see from my feedback, from around twenty students and their parents, that I have successfully supported a wide variety of tutees with their individual needs, leading to successful outcomes.
I also have parents I have worked with who are willing to personally recommend me.
I can support all students to improve their chances of exam success, whatever their target grades.
My approach is very student led in the first instance, using a coaching style of questioning. Every student is an individual in their own right, with their own preferred style of learning. I work closely with each student to identify the best way forward to increase their understanding of the subject.
I will provide essay scaffolding and question templates to help students achieve their full potential in timed exams.
I am only taking on new Y12 students, from the end of April, to help to prepare them for their mock assessments next term, or to help them to improve their projected UCAS grades. I currently have the following availability for regular sessions: fortnightly, on a Thursday evening, 7.30pm start; or weekly on a Saturday morning, 11am start. If you can't make either of these days/times, I should be able to find something that will work for you, as I only work two days at school. As a new Y12 student, I will be able to move you to one of the other evening slots once my current Y13 students complete.
