My Experience
I have tutored for around six years, starting with a Politics subject ambassador role at sixth form and developing my passion for teaching throughout my degree at the University of Nottingham. Since then, I have pursued tuition full-time, with over 120 students across Politics and Geography, including several home-school students whom I have been responsible for the entirety of their teaching.
I only tutor subjects in which I am 100% confident of my knowledge and expertise in - I have a Bachelor of Arts (Joint Honours) in History and Politics, in which I specialised in UK Politics. In addition, I studied both Politics and Geography at A Level myself just five years ago, and also studied Geography at GCSE (achieved A**) enabling me to provide expertise on exam content, question technique and revision methods guaranteed to achieve success. I have a strong understanding of what is required from students to fulfil the mark schemes and attain the top grades as a result of this, and pride myself on offering support that is centred around results.
I specialise in A Level (AQA/Edexcel) and GCSE (AQA) tuition. I have found that concentrating on just two subjects allows me to build my expertise and only provide tutoring to students on areas that I am an expert in; focusing solely on KS4 and KS5 means my tutoring is adapted perfectly to older, more independent students.
Subject-Specific Guidance
I offer tuition across Politics (A Level) and Geography (GCSE/A Level) to ensure that I only tutor subjects I am completely confident in; I focus solely on the Edexcel and AQA syllabuses as this is where my expertise lies. 90% of my tutoring hours are in Politics and Geography, amassing just under 2,000 hours per subject. I have also home-schooled Politics students, meaning I have been responsible for 100% of their teaching, which demonstrates my knowledge and confidence on all aspects of the curriculum.
Politics
As a Politics graduate from the University of Nottingham, I offer quality tuition across all aspects of UK and US Politics, alongside the Edexcel Global Politics module, and typically see an average of 75% of students attain a grade A-A*. My recent experience in taking the A Level Politics (Edexcel) exam highlights this; I have knowledge on the mark scheme and what allows students to boost their grade. I provide helpful, relevant revision resources and pride myself on developing my own lesson materials alongside essay plans and flashcards to ensure that students have the highest quality resources possible.
Geography
I provide support across all aspects of Physical and Human Geography (catered towards Edexcel and AQA in particular) with a range of carefully curated lesson materials, question plans, flashcards and case study materials. I have tutored Geography since I took it at A Level myself (AQA) and achieved top grades in all components. I also studied Geography at GCSE (AQA) and achieved a 9/A**.
Revision support
I offer specialised revision courses and sessions for students in the runup to mocks and exams. These sessions focus on consolidation of key content, perfecting revision methods and ensuring students remain calm and prepared for the upcoming exams.
Hear from my students
With over 40 five-star reviews from students, this is some of the feedback I have received since I began tutoring.
