I am an effective and highly qualified teacher with Hons, Masters and PhD. I also hold a CMI Exec Dip in Management and like to keep up to date with regular CPD. i have been teaching online since 2007, and more traditional setting since 1995. I ensure that students reach their potential and can establish a rapport quickly. I am a published author with Nelson Thornes and Hodder Education and love passing on writing craft to those who would benefit. I did not enter teaching through the traditional pathway and left school without any qualifications at the age of 15, having been placed in the lowest ability stream at secondary school. After some years in Industry, the Army and Security, i decided to education myself.
In addition to being an outstanding teacher of History and Sociology with over 25 years experience I am also a 121 tutor of English Literature and Language, working with students who are unable to access education in a traditional setting for a variety of emotion's. I've been doing this latter role for over 12 month
As a teacher/tutor, the needs of the student is always at the forefront of my provision. To support with this I am also a certified and accredited CBT, NLP and Mindfulness practitioner. I use these skills to ensure my students are able to overcome emotional and wellbeing barriers to there progress.

I am tutoring full-time after many years working in schools and quickly became fully booked last year. I put a lot of work and preparation into sessions to tailor them specifically to my students' needs and have achieved excellent results in 2023 including an A grade in sociology for a student who missed the whole of Year 12 at school! Please enquire for more details and to book your free initial assessment.
Terms and conditions
I pride myself on building up a good working relationship with my clients. Since tutoring is normally for a period of some months as examinations approach and in the interests of fair play for both parties, I've set out some key points regarding charges and cancellations during the tutoring period.
Charges
A-Level sessions are delivered online weekly via Teams in one-hour blocks. Charges reflect my qualifications, experience and the way my sessions are tailored to each individual student’s needs, making them highly effective at boosting learning, confidence and grades. Knowing all the misconceptions and pitfalls on content and structuring examination questions makes all the difference and it is vital that tutoring is effective for the student.
I am happy to offer each new client one free initial assessment and discussion session to assess the needs and type of help required plus it gives you a chance to see how I work and fit in with your requirements. There is no obligation on either side to continue after this first session.
Cancellations Policy
Once a regular slot has been booked for the student, the same time every week, I will endeavour always to be available to tutor them. There is scope for discussion if a session needs to be rearranged (24 hours requested), subject to my availability.
From time to time, flexibility on both sides is required due to life events and unexpected occurrences. This may involve cancellation of a particular session or the need to reschedule and I will always try to accommodate if I can do so.
Teaching is my passion. My purpose in life is to create a positive environment in the world. I love to teach children and students of any age group. I have also been associated with Brahma kumaris (World Spiritual Organisation) for 7 years. I have a profound understanding of my subjects, adeptly tailor instruction to diverse learning styles, fosters a positive and inclusive classroom environment and effective communication. I also encourages critical thinking and empower students. Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of teaching a wide range of subjects to students from diverse backgrounds. This experience has honed my ability to effectively communicate complex ideas, foster a positive learning environment, and adapt my teaching methods to individual student needs. Additionally, I recently authored my first book, "One Light and the Angelic World," which has further enhanced my knowledge and passion for sharing knowledge with others. Furthermore, my association with Brahma Kumaris, a world spiritual organization, for the last seven years has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the holistic approach to education. I strongly believe in the importance of nurturing not only academic growth but also the emotional and spiritual well-being of students. I strive to create a supportive and inclusive classroom environment that encourages personal growth and inspires a love for learning.

I have been teaching for 13 years, working with a variety of students with different needs. I worked in London, before moving to Nottingham in July 2011. I am currently Head of Social Science and am teaching Psychology AQA and Sociology AQA, both at A level. I have met and trained with cheif examiners, so am confident in helping students to prepare for exams in these subjects. I am also currently an examiner for AQA A Level psychology and have 11 years of experience of marking exam papers which helps me teach students how to answer exam style questions in most precise way.
I have a fresh approach to teaching, making sure my students understand the topic they are studying rather than just memorising the details. Psychology is the study of the real world, and as such, students should be able to link theory to the wider world.
I have conducted online tuition for students who have not been living in the same city as me, but had wanted my expertise and support in learning psychology and sociology. I am a confident user of IT and can utilise online tools to help support students during online tuition sessions.
I am Head of a succesful History department in Bath. I teach History (KS3, GCSE, A-Level), Politics (A-Level) and Sociology (A-Level). My most recent A-Level Politics group achieved 100% A*-C, and within my GCSE History group over 60% achieved above their predicted grade.
I am able to provide full lessons, revision sessions, lesson catch up, homework help, exam skills sessions etc. I will tailor these to your needs, and work with you to help make progress. These sessions can be virtual or socially distanced in person in an outdoor area.
My philosophy is to make learning fun and engaging, while at the same time purposeful and focussed.
I have a First Class Degree in History, a Masters Degree in Education, and am currently working towards my doctorate in Education (EdD).
I am also a senior examiner for AQA in GCSE History, and have many years of experience in marking papers.
Please do contact me for more information, or to arrange a conversation about your requirements.
I have taught A Level Sociology for the past 16 years. Initially I taught on the OCR specification and when the A Levels were reformed I moved to AQA. I specialise in teaching crime and deviance and stratification, but also have a lot of experience with family, education and research methods topics. Historically I have taught culture, youth and global. I am adept at creating resources for students based on their learning needs and have trained as an A Level student coach. In this role I have supported individuals and groups with motivation, organisation and exam planning. I have experience tutoring A Level Politics. I also helped prepare students for applying to Oxbridge and Russell Group universities.
Students have benefitted from my positivity and excellent subject knowledge over my many years of teaching to gain very positive results for themselves, whether this is helping students move from A's to A* to students who have been working at an E who go on to achieve a C. I am confident with supporting students with additional needs and tailor approaches to their way of learning.
I'm currently working as the Head of Humanities at The Bourne Academy and have been teaching Edexcel and WJEC History for over 10 years locally. I've also worked as an exam associate for Edexcel for 6 years marking summer exams. I feel that I understand the specifications for Medicine, Germany, Cold War and Elizabeth extremely well and would feel comfortable adapting my knowledge to meet the requirements for other exam board specifications. I've also been instructing on AQA Alevel Cold War and the British Empire for over 5 years and have also served as an examiner.
If a longer term tutoring relationship is established, students will get access to a bespoke Google Classroom with lessons and resources designed to promote maximum success and independence.
My passion for History drives much of who I am and consider myself a good communicator, highly motivational and proficient with one to one intervention. When I'm not teaching I love to run outdoors on hills, travel and spend time with my chocolate labrador.

I oversee the Sociology teaching of 200+ GCSE and A-Level students on a daily basis. In tutoring my clients I draw on this experience to swiftly diagnose core strengths and weaknesses in both knowledge and skills, before breaking down progressive steps on how to improve. I use my comprehensive understanding of mark schemes and criteria to show clients where and how they meet Assessment Objectives (AO skills) and where they fall short. Clients are provided with a variety of resources that can be used beyond tutoring sessions to develop their skills. I also draw on my 8 years experience as a 'real-life' sociologist in helping students understand complex sociological issues and concepts.

Reviews from recent students, 5***** ` Meliz`s lessons are well structured and I find them much more interesting and thorough than any other teacher or textbook I have used. Meliz is a very friendly tutor who works in a way to gain success. I would really recommend Meliz due to her approach to Sociology and making it so interesting. With a tendency to panic I found Meliz calming and really helpful (with the usual cup of tea). I couldn`t have done Sociology without her! ` (Claire B student 2018) `Meliz tutored me for A2sociology. I originally got a C at AS level. After being taught by Meliz my whole approach had changed and I began to enjoy Sociology. I really enjoyed her teaching especially the debates we had. She is very thorough and makes sure every aspect of the course is perfected` (Kiana A* student 2017) `I think your method of teaching is far superior to any taught by schools. If I had you for longer, probably would`ve got an A` (Jay B student ) 5***** ` Meliz is so wonderful, she is the most productive tutor I have ever met, within a short period of time you can really get good results with Meliz. Meliz can also be described as a friend, she is very easy to relate to and can help in really building yor charecter. A humble and a pleasant acquaintance, Meliz is the ideal tutor for anyone student who wants to get great results quickly.` (King` Ori student) 5***** `Meliz is very effective, offering a lot of content and how to apply it to real exam questions. Very polite, she was able to adapt to my needs well and gave great insight into content, which was very helpful in answering questions. She is very organised and makes sure the student is organised as well. Thank you. ` (Orest A student 2018) `Meliz taught me the whole linear Alevel course. I got an A*, thanks soo much Mel couldn`t of done it without you. Meliz is an excellent teacher I highly recommend her`. (Jessica A* Student 2017 ) `In February I was offered a conditional offer to study Sociology, provided I push my B grade to an A. I started with Meliz in March 2016, having forgotten a lot of knowledge i`d learned in Sociology in the past two years. In just two months, I had all the knowledge required for a top grade and my exam technique was better than it`d ever been, thanks to Meliz. I`d never felt so confident before, and after an exam. Her style of teaching is very engaging and allows you to make links across various topics of the subject, and interlink them all (relevantly) to produce an effective answer to whatever the question www.*** couldn`t fault her, and would recommend her to anyone trying to achieve a high grade`. (Micheal A*, Student 2016)

Great tutor!
Naila (Mrs) ***** 19/06/2023
Mel has been tutoring my daughter for A level sociology. Mel is a great tutor and my daughter found the lessons helpful and tailored to her needs. Can not recommend Mel highly enough.
Zarkir (Mr) ***** 14/06/2023
Learned so much from Meliz. Helped me to gain a deeper understanding of sociology which is not taught in school which made a massive difference in my ability to approach exam questions. Would highly recommend starting sessions with Meliz as soon as possible.
Annie (Miss) ***** 03/06/2023
With zero prior knowledge of sociology, I started learning sociology with Meliz a month before the AS sociology exam . Meliz is good at teaching exam techniques and concepts .Not only did Meliz make sociology an easier subject to learn and understand , she also helped me with building my confidence . It is truly incredible that I managed to finish the whole AS syllabus in a month time and predicted an A . Meliz is encouraging, polite and always punctual to lessons . Would definitely recommend and thanku so much Meliz !
Alexander (Mr) ***** 19/02/2023
Meliz has been an amazing tutor and has really furthered my knowledge of sociology and exam technique. I would highly recommend her as a tutor.
Athena (Miss) ***** 26/01/2023
Meliz has been extremely helpful in helping me build a solid foundation for my Psychology understanding. I find that in her lessons, not only do I learn knowledge but am encouraged to think for myself.
Haoli (Dr) ***** 20/12/2022
So helpful and thoughtful- a big thankyou
Noah (Mr) ***** 04/12/2022
Meliz is an exceptionally qualified tutor who has helped me immensely with my Sociology essay. Her ability and professionalism towards lessons are making her an outstanding tutor, compare to others. A very kind and polite person too.
Maxine (Ms) ***** 22/06/2022
Outstanding and very effective tutor. Very patient and empathetic teaching skills and was able to energise a rather shy/awkward student. She knows how to help with both exam content/knowledge and exam techniques. Would highly recommend.
Aryaan (Mr) ***** 17/06/2022
I really enjoyed my lessons with Ms Meliz and they were very productive. I had taken sociolgy as a 4th subject in the last 6 months of my A2 course and joined Ms meliz 15 days before my exams. So I had to cover a 2 year course in a very short time and initially aimed for getting a B but because of her effective teaching style and precise notes I was able to aim for an A/A*. I had tried studying sociolgy from other tutors but didn’t really understand it and if it wasn’t for Ms Meliz I wouldn’t have even thought of getting an A.
Andrea (Mrs) ***** 26/04/2022
Really helpful with Sociology, explains everything so that I can understand. Feeling more confident in my subject now!
Lois (Miss) ***** 16/03/2022
She is very thorough and takes her time in helping me grasp a concept that I had forgotten which I appreciate.
Franka (Miss) ***** 13/10/2021
Meliz is a fantastic tutor. We went through the whole AS-level content within a month. She pushes me to challenge concepts and evaluate theories critically which is incredibly helpful for my understanding of the subject. Thanks to her, I feel confident going into exams. I can`t recommend her enough:)
Lisa (Miss) ***** 26/12/2020
Meliz is knowledgeable and well organised. My daughter has benefitted from her help and she has grown in confidence. Mel is reliable and accommodating. A great tutor.
Ria (Miss) ***** 23/10/2020
Meliz is a lovely, friendly tutor. She is very supportive and has helped me understand the content and essay questions. She challenges you with a variety of questions which has enhanced my learning in A level Media. Definitely recommend being taught by her. Ria
Mobowale (Mrs) ***** 17/10/2020
Meliz tutored my son in Sociology. My son was so comfortable and happy with her method of teaching. With her help, he was able to achieve his desired grades in his Alevel exam. Thank you so much Meliz.
Belinda (Mrs) ***** 30/06/2019
Meliz is simply the very best tutor we have ever come across. She is a talented educator and a worthy role model for any teenage girl. My 18 year old daughter, who had some difficulty previously engaging with Sociology at A level and academic study in general, thrived under Meliz’s guidance and looked forward to each and every lesson. She is committed to getting the best from her pupil by adapting her approach to best suit the individual. She is organised, methodical, empathic, encouraging and, for us, a tutor who my daughter is sad to leave and who she will always remember as being the one to help set her back on track.
Zahra (Miss) ***** 02/06/2019
Really sweet person, she knows her content well and tries her best to make you feel comfortable and understand any content that you don`t know. I feel a lot more confident with sociology after I had tuition with Meliz. Would definitely recommend!!
Melina (Miss) ***** 23/05/2019
such a nice person and gives a deeper understanding of the course which enables you to write better essays
Kathy (Mrs) ***** 11/05/2019
Having initially met Meliz in person in her home, it was obvious that her passion, knowledge and willingness to help my daughter would be worth giving Skype lessons a try. My daughter looks forward to her weekly hour lesson on Skype with Meliz. She is patient, friendly, clearly explains and Meliz has been able to discuss the subject in a way that has built confidence. Meliz has been very accommodating to help my daughter with changing lessons around exam dates, she is absolutely fantastic with my daughter and I would highly recommend her.
Abdullah (Mr) ***** 21/03/2019
Tutor Meliz is an excellent teacher. She is really patient and has given me the confidence to believe in myself and has given me the opportunity to pursue my goal which has been denied by schools and teachers. Meliz has helped me overcome many of my difficulties and is teaching me skills that I can apply in my studies and in everyday life.
Suela (Mrs) ***** 03/03/2019
Meliz is an excellent tutor who is approachable, professional and organised. She has helped me effectively structure a personal statement, I have since received all 5 of my university offers.
Martyna (Miss) ***** 27/02/2019
Meliz is a really great tutor and I’d highly recommend her to anyone. I at first struggled with sociology and the concepts when I started at a level and Meliz has helped me to gain a better understanding of the course and has also made me enjoy the subject much more.
Morisha (Miss) ***** 21/06/2018
My situation was quite a unique one, I had contacted Meliz a couple weeks before my final A level exams and I was self-teaching both AS and A2 Sociology in 1 year. Due to my inability to travel, I was still able to get effective sessions via online lessons. From the beginning Meliz was very professional, she was able to work around my complex situation with a more intense approach. Furthermore, she dramatically condensed both AS and A2 in a concise way and helped me tremendously with exam practice. Without her help, I would have no clue on how to answer the questions in the exams. Not only that, but she was able to boost my confidence for the exams and calm my nerves. Overall, a great tutor and one that I`d recommend to anyone struggling with sociology :)
Sara (Mrs) ***** 09/03/2018
Meliz is an excellent tutor and is very professional.
Mariam () ***** 02/01/2018
Meliz is an excellent tutor, very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I am are very lucky to have found her. I have far greater understanding of Sociology. She has managed to build my confidence very quickly. I recommend Meliz unreservedly. Thank You Meliz !
Feven (Miss) ***** 30/11/2017
She`s a very encouraging and supportive tutor helps with any work I don`t understand and is overall very good
Selvi (Dr) ***** 24/06/2017
Meliz is an excellent teacher. When our son, who tends to be very sensitive and picky about his teachers, said he really enjoys working with Meliz and that he feels that he gets a lot out of the lessons. He says that Meliz is able to communicate the concepts to him in ways that were different than those that his regular teachers used, and that this helped him understand the concepts much more easily. In addition to this Meliz helps him to revise with different techniques. We highly recommend her.
Mirella (Mrs) ***** 20/02/2017
My daughters very happy with Meliz`s lessons. She knows the syllabus really well and makes the lesson interesting and fun. Couldn`t have found a better tutor
