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.

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 am currently in my tenth year of a rewarding career in teaching. I am a creative and imaginative individual with expertise in teaching and learning and experience of developing others. I pride myself on my professionalism, positive attitude and ability to work effectively in a team and leadership role.

Online Sociology Tutors
Psychology teacher in Stone, UK.
I am an extremely experienced teacher/tutor and examiner of A level Psychology and Sociology. I have experience of tutoring for AQA, OCR, Edexcel and Cambridge International for Psychology and AQA for Sociology.
Although I have no reviews on this platform, you can see my 5 star reviews on tutorful.
In my years of teaching and tutoring at A level, I have built up a wealth of resources that are used and shared with my tutees in helping them consistently achieve A* and A grades.
My approach to tutoring is to be flexible and approachable so that students feel free to ask any questions that they wish.
My examining experience is second to none, having been Chief Examiner for A level Psychology and senior positions for A level Sociology. I am currently a senior examiner for A level Psychology.
My tutoring is always totally exam focused, aided by my examining experience which gives me invaluable insight into how the exams are marked and what the exam boards are looking for.
My knowledge of Psychology and Sociology is very strong as I have published textbooks related to the A level Psychology specifications.
Passionate tutor with a background as an SEN teaching assistant. My subjects and prices are negotiable, feel free to suggest something different and I will do my best to work around you. Each child will receive a unique approach to their education, based on their interests, needs and goals.
Chartered Psychologist with 18 years teaching and examining experience in Psychology. Also teaches sociology in Kettering, UK. Excellent track record of exam results
I am an academic by profession and I have been a personal tutor for 8 years on various website including online and in person. My goal is to share my knowledge with people of all age groups who are interested in learning a foreign language and humanities subjects either for personal exams or just for fun. I also aim to make my lessons as enjoyable as possible not just for the sake of breaking the "monotony" of classroom style teaching, but also because I want to engage with my tutees in order to help them achieve their best results in the most efficient way possible. Plus, I personally believe that everyone is competent and capable of learning any subject or language as long as the relationship between tutors and students are on the same page, and the lessons are made to be more engaging and reachable. For further details, do not hesitate to write a message to me. I look forward to your messages and queries! :)
I am an experienced academic passionate about inspiring individuals to aim high. I have assisted multiple students and early career academics to acheive their goals. I worked in research and teaching roles within UK universities between 2004 and 2024 and am an Advance HE Fellow. My main areas of research and teaching expertise are in sociology and qualitative research methods. I am the author of four books, have published in a range of international peer reviewed journals and have chapters in various other books. I also have significant experience in peer-reviewing for academic journals.
I have taught social sciences, sport & exercise and health-related science students in sociology and history of sport-related modules as well as research methods, study skills and dissertation modules. I have supervised PhD students to completion and have acted as a university mentor providing academic research support and guidance to colleagues employed at various HE institutions. I have experience of designing, marking, and providing feedback on a range of assessments, including exams, essays, reports, proposals, presentations, and dissertations, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. I have experience of approval events and collaborative provision between universities and FE colleges and have been an external examiner for undergraduate courses and PhD candidates. My CV is available upon request.
During my time working as an academic for over 20 years I have gained valuable skills and experience that enabled me to start my own freelance private tutoring, research and higher education consultancy business 'G. Academic' in 2023. I offer private tutoring to university students at all levels as well as training, mentoring and coaching to those new to research. In addition, I offer 'go to university' and 'transitions' talks to year 11, FE college and sixth form students. I am also available for external examining and guest lecturing, including study skills and research methods lectures, seminars or workshops. Moreover, I can provide editing, proof-reading, indexing and reviewing services for all types of academic writing and consultancy services for universities and other organisations regarding all aspects of research, teaching and learning in HE. I also offer specific advice and consultancy on research governance, impact, culture, ethics and integrity.
After excelling in the fields of Sociology and Religious studies i would like to pass on my knowledge in a fun and inspiring way.
